Throw out the old gods, Boredoms are the new gods

Wow!

"Super Ae" is some of the alltime best headphone speed cycling fuel I have encountered.

Seadrum rocks.

and VCN too.

they have been for years now.

.........yeah.

see signature.

favorite band ever.

I like that quote in yr signature about the boredoms. Appropriately Boredoms...

Yeah, I'm back. Battery died on the laptop last night which I took as my signal to go to bed.

They were amazing last night. I've never seen them play before, so I don't know if this is always the case, but they played on a round stage in the middle of the room with the audience all round them. The setup was three drum kits and Eye with keyboards (samplers?) and a thing set up behind him that was like seven 2-3 foot planks of wood strung with guitar strings, all differently tuned, which he struck with drumsticks. It was just an awesome non-stop percussion barrage - very very tribal, like some kind of a voodoo ceremony. Had a definite religious experience feeling to it - if Eye had asked me to sign up to the Church of Boredoms at the end I've been right up the front yelling "Halleluleah!".

So yeah, I love Boredoms and I want to see them play at every possible opportunity from now on.

And M Gira?
Quite a contrast I would assume.

It was quite a contrast, but he was excellent. As I knew he would be.

In terms of personality, the contrast between Michael Gira of Swans and Michael Gira of Angels of Light is remarkable. He's almost becoming quite the raconteur these days.

It was beautiful wasn't it?

I reviewed it: http://www.last.fm/user/ThusIsOurKra.../10/23/556160/

Ive been getting into them recently.
They confuse me, therefore they warrant further investigation.

this is wonderfully bananas.

Saw them last night - wow!

I was so nervous when i asked joshimi for an autograph but she was really nice, smiled and signed.

Yeah, they are gods.

I am going to see them tomorrow and I am looking forward to it greatly. I had feared that they were going to be pretty much the same as when I saw them in 2004. That was amazing and would have been great to see it again but it sounds like the new stuff is a bit different while retaining the 3 drum circle and eYe monkey-ing around formula. That is a good thing.

Saw them for the first time last week after hoping to get the chance for years. My expectations were sky high, yet they still managed to completely blow me away. Majestic.

If it was even remotely possible I would jump on a train to Cardiff to see them again tomorrow.

All hail BORE.

i really wanted to go see them but alas i was otherwise out of the country.

i fucking hate all of you!
