Amen sister! Fuck the gigs, it's the only reason I'm in London, I'm telling you...

I went out to buy a packet of fake tears that I can apply to my eyes, so now I can cope with your devastating wit better.

If I may just mention a London gig...

help me to help you shut up.

Make me.

Wasn't witty at all. I am legendary at getting on your nerves successfully. And I enjoy it.

yawn.

this is like every other talk i have ever had with you, real or otherwise. pretty boring.

I'm assuming you talk to boring people only when they're able to put you up on
your visits to London or somewhere else. I guess some fellow boardies could testify to that. I like it how you hate it being disliked by me.

Mono @ ScaLa - March 15th (my birthday!)

Ether, Southbank Centre’s annual music festival of innovation, art, technology and cross-arts experimentation, returns from 16 – 24 April this year with a mix of rock iconoclasts, rap pioneers, audiovisual experimenters and contemporary-classical innovators.

This year’s festival features a very special show from Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Trio based on Reed’s radical and controversial 1975 album Metal Machine Music and a rare Gil Scott-Heron London gig in which he’ll be showcasing material from his brilliant new album I’m New Here (released on XL Recordings), alongside support from 2009 Mercury Prize Winner Speech Debelle. Kicking off Ether is a one-off collaboration between Stereo MCs and The Bays, plus The Herbaliser opening the gig, while on Friday 23 April film director and video artist Chris Cunningham performs a live show of original and remixed music and film, with support from BEAK>, the new project of Portishead’s Geoff Barrow.

Also playing at this year’s festival are one of the greats from the Warp roster, Broadcast, who are joined on the bill by Micachu and The Shapes and young cellist Oliver Coates. Meanwhile, LA art-noise band HEALTH team up with the genre-trashing, visually-spectacular Chrome Hoof for a mouth-watering double-bill, and Will Dutta plays with special guests Plaid, Max de Wardener and John Richards.

Always a platform for showcasing new work, Ether in 2010 features an evening of premieres of music by Mark-Anthony Turnage (UK premiere) and Philip Glass (European premiere) plus Henryk Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3 played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, the festival features Varèse 360° – the complete works of musique concrète pioneer and formative influence on Frank Zappa, Edgard Varèse.

There’s more to be announced including a series of talks and discussions so keep look out for further updates here and at www.southbankcentre.co.uk/ether

god damn broadcast, why can't they play a normal gig in london instead of this all-seater nonsense
