Dec. 9th, 2007 12:04 am- 01:45 *Portishead again* Live footage on the screens, but black & white and distorted, like ghosts appearing on a CCTV feed of an empty stage. #
- 01:53 *Fuck Buttons* 2 manic guys with laptops, a drum and other bits'n'bobs. Big, fuzzy, warm, throbbing and dirty; like fucking Cookie Monster. #
- 14:29 *Oneida* It's no mean feat to fill this venue with throbbing drums & chugging. They don't do much else, but it's visceral stuff, literally. #
- 14:46 Buzzed on cava cocktails, shambling to & fro across a psychedelic LED-studded carpet through standing waves of guitar feedback and drum echo #
- 16:08 *Autolux* Pleasing vocals, textured guitar backing, decent drumming; adding up to perfectly adequate indie. After 20 mins, I'd had enough. #
- 16:34 *Malcolm Middleton* Self-indulgently mopey indie, redeemed by self-awareness & humour. "Being shit is great." Bit folky, bit electronic, ace #
- 18:03 *GZA* Raw, fist-pumping black hip-hop for fey, chin-stroking white indie-kids. "How y'all doing, Minehead?" "We be keepin' shit incongruous" #
- 20:38 *Julian Cope* Rambling old acid-burned rock'n'roll from the affabley apocalyptic old hippie. Endearing if, ultimately, not very interesting. #
- 22:04 Coversation turns phallocentric:
"I don't really like scrotums so I left it off."
"I'd rather have a dinosaur for a cock than a lobster." #
