C'mon Porky, I need to know more than that. What instrument(s) was Keiji Haino playing for instance? Guitar? Drums? Hurdygurdy? Summat else?

Ah. I wasn't entirely sure what you were trying to say to me, a combination of noise and mutual drunkeness. You were leaving, I see.

It went a bit subdued for a bit, then Corsano did a bit of a solo, I went for a wee and the when I came back Haino was splitting the heavens with his guitar. He did some pretty stuff, some more theramin stuff and some difficult scratchy stuff, and a couple of big ROCK riffs.

It was great.com.

Yeah, him and Iain wandered over after the storm had gone and the wreckage was peeling out before me...

Yeah, bit jumpy after that accident, was quite outstanding. Still, such is London life eh?

Ace. I'm looking forward to round 2 tonight.

I'm gonna spend my afternoon record shopping methinks. Probably the mighty sound323. MMm. Records.

Yeah, I was thinking about it this morning, because it schreeched its way across to the other side of the road... if it'd gone to the left, there would've been pedestrian carnage, which we'd have missed by roughly 5 feet.

Adventure follows you everywhere you go doesn't it Porky? I mean, you cut yourself up at Circle, now police chases for Keiji Haino. What do you have planned for the Steve Reich thing? Should I bring a fire extinguisher?

you left early so you could go to bed?!

who is going tonight?

would anybody happen to have taken photos of this event, or better yet recorded it?

and just so you know i might actually die of jealousy over you limeys.

i never would have guessed.

i took some photo last night, i'll up them later. tonight's show was even better. didn't take any photos though, but if i had they would probably look the same as the ones i took yesterday.

Last night was too much. Goddamn overload, brainmelt time in the best possible sense.

About 20 minutes into his set some dude shouted something like "Shit, you're shit Haino, you can't play. Everyone's bored, you're shit." He was wrong and so was ejected. It was quite amusing how irate he got.

yeah, i can't really express how absolutely incredible last night's show was. one of the three best shows i've been to.

i was quite dissapointed by many of the audience though, lots of people with fingers in their ears, and about half the crowd left early. disgraceful!

Maybe they had to get to work the next morning.

Humbug! They can go to work any day they like, but how often can they see old Kenny?

I can't talk anyway, I cried off altogether because of a case of the sniffles.

you should have come, he would have blown that cold out of your head.



hopefully it won't be another six years before he returns.
actually i was quite surprised by the low number of attendees, there were probably only 200 people there last night, and probably half left before the end.

jobs are over rated.

Was it right that Z'ev played a support slot on Monday? How was that?

i've read a couple of interviews where thurston laments over london gig audiences... especially when SY have played there and have got weird/improv acts to open, there has generally been a negative reaction... one of many other reasons that puts me off moving to london...
