23/12/11 underworld london- death in june.


worst bands of the year, teeth of the sea, dám, karma to burn, praxis bold, assign llamas, girl spit.
all of them were awful, teeth of the sea i have seen before, and i know i hate them,
especially because the guitarist has a pointy guitar, and when he starts playing it behind his head without any irony whatsoever, i know ill never be able to like them.
girl spit were ammusing, and werent nearly as cool or crazy as they thought they were. singer seemed like he might actually be mentally retarded. he also has a stupid tattoo on his face that only a mentally retarded person would think is cool.
praxis bold and assign llamas were a double dose of shite, but thankfully acid mothers temple were great that night, so i was at least able to go home feeling like i gained something from my evening, which is more than i can say for the night wasted seeing karma to burn. fucking posers. i want my money back, even though it was a charity gig.
and dám, the stupid band that suported unsane made me angry at the fact that whoever booking the gig felt it was fair to make us the paying customers who came to see unsane, have to put up with such utter wank, they in no way deserved to be playing a support slot for a touring band,

other dissapointing acts were wire and death in june, i actually left after about 40 mins of death in june, it started of ok, with drums and samples, but once the 12string came out it just becomes boring.maybe at the end he did some crazy industrial shit but i couldnt be bothered to wait and find out.
wire just seemed old. and boring, they didnt even play heartbeat, which has appropriate lyrics, "i feel old, i feel cold".
i did stick out there entire set but it was like watching your uncle trying to rock out.

best gigs, unsane, finally seen them, which was pleasing as they were the last band on my list of bands i was annoyed not to have seen yet.

dwarves london show was a laugh, birmingham i watched from a far as other people had the same kind of fun i had had the previous night.

melvins shows in cardiff and london were good, i felt like shit at germany one and even went a bought a pizza during there set.

non(boyd rice) was one of the most intense live shows i have ever seen, and is up there as one of the best performances i have ever seen.

secret chiefs 3 were everything i could have hoped they would be. amazing.

terje isungset "ice music" was one of the most unique things i have ever seen and i enjoyed it more than the local zine reviewer did judging by his review.

acid mothers temple was probly one of the 5 loudest most deafening gigs i have ever been too.
s.c.u.m too were loud in london but didnt seem so loud when i saw them in oxford.

big business mind the drift finally put away.

so i think big business "mind the drift" came out on vinyl around may/june 2009.
when it arrived i loved the album.
and due to my heavy playing of it and my dislike of the sealing bags hydrahead use on there records, i have never put the record back in its gatefold.
instead it has remained on my "playing" pile for over 2 years.
here.


but today (6/12/11)-6th of december to any americans reading/ i got this in the post.




although its a test press it appears to be one they used for playing purposes in vacation. so seeing as its all scratched and shit anyway, it will now become my playing copy. that will never be put away.
but still i felt funny after all these years to be putting this in its sleeve, back in its annoying bag with sticky top flap and filing the record away.
here.

Best bands this year- boredoms, swans, faust, pil, dwarves (london show, not the bristol show), grinderman, einsturzende neubauten, neurosis, and of course the residents.

Worst bands this year-
1st place shittest band ive ever seen- fixers.
close 2nd place - rifle volunteer
other bands that i didnt like included, sealings, vivian girls, braindead collective, f uk and fuckbuddies, black mountain (if they only did an hour i might still like them), sealings (mentioned twice as i put up with them twice),
dead c, the sadies, and probly the most overrated band of the whole year,ZENI GEVA. i just didnt think that was good at all. i even once owned one of there lps and hated it so much i sold it on ebay, i rarely sell records as i feel most have some relevance to my collection. on the other hand though, i really enjoy ruins, and he drummed for zeni geva, but that wasnt enough to save them.

i'll mention again, the worst band ive ever seen is "fixers" , , i prefer alphabeat, who as it happens look and sound alot like fixers, but i doubt that was there intention.
can nightshift magazine stop pretending they like them just because they know them personally and admit that if they werent being bias they would be slagging them off like all the lame ass acoustic singer songwriters they hate so much, i know fixers arent acoustic singer songwriter music but in terms of lame this is the closest comparison.
