I've a pretty varied taste in music. Eclectic, you might say. People who know me well do. But i've never shoved it in peoples faces. Quite the opposite, really. I always enquire into someones chosen favourite genre and find something to connect with them in that. But that's not what i'm writing about here. What i wanted to get off my chest was how annoying people who say they like "pretty much everything" when they actually mean "anything that's been played on daytime radio" are.

"What's this racket?", "Well, that's not very melodic", are just a few of the responses…

Wed 21 Mar – Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid, Bass Clef, mr_hopkinson's computer

Bought my tickets for this show ages ago, so i was a little thrown off by the change of venue. And i must admit i didn't look at who was supporting as i was excited enough at seeing this dynamic duo action.

The night started off well, with the resident DJ playing tracks by Doormouse and Shooby Taylor. Nice and eclectic, just the way i like it!

The first act of the night was mr_hopkinson's computer.

A very expressive laptop singing covers we all…

A package just arrived for me… It's contents have filled me with a joy like that the first time you have sex.

I think a picture will speak volumes more than any words i could use.

That's right.. 10..count 'em… 10 wing cds. I am going on an aural journey that there is no coming back from, baby!

And just to add the sugar on top of what is already a super sweet pudding, Wing included a signed photo of herself. She is saluting.. SALUTING!!! I freakin' love this women.

That is all.

:D

What music would you have playing while this happened?

I'd have Unseen Eyes.

If i strung a load of dead kittens up from the ceiling and played some Agoraphobic Nosebleed really loud, while dancing naked and covered in my own faeces, how much would you be willing to pay to see it? I'm sure people must have paid at least £10 to see GG Allin live…

Listening to Robots in Disguise makes me wants to eat spikey things.

Listening to Merzbow makes me want to put my hand in a blender.

Listening to Jandek makes me want to trap my penis in my fly.

Listening to Girls Aloud makes me want to drink bleach then set fire to the nearest cat.

Why can't i ever think about doing nice things when i listen to music. Good job i'm lazy or i'd have been arrested by now….

Who has done this? Who has tagged Ryukyu Disko's name all in CAPITALS!

MAN, I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE WRITE ALL IN CAPITALS……..

ARGH!!!!

Ever have those nights where you can't sleep. No matter what you do, you cannot get any shuteye..

Maybe once a week this happens to me, but i can't work out if it my head saying that it is music time or if it's because of the music i listen too..

I have been trying to listen to more relaxing stuff recently; lovage, Hajime Yoshizawa and Fog. But i keep falling back to noisy abrasive music…

My head feels noisy at the minute, i can't unscramble my thoughts.

Maybe i should just go with it, perhaps there is…
