The Los Angeles Times reported today that Orbital are considering
playing this years Lollapalooza festival. If this doesn't make your
heart sink, I don't know what will. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
hell, downright evil news. If Orbital played Lollapalooza it would be an
utter disaster. They'd get booed off the stage, which they would
probably end up playing in the middle of the day (not the best time to
see orbital live), by an endless sea of American Highschoolers and
meatheads who came to see Metalica and Soundgarden. It would be the
worst kind of publicity for them, since they'd be torn apart by every
god damn back water rock critic for not playing 'real' insturments. And
of course, we'd all be forced to endure a full day of hell since we
wouldn't want to miss seeing Orbital live.
Even stranger is that Perry Ferrell has decieded to break off his ENIT
festival from Lollapalooza and carry it on on his own. Let me say that
ENIT was the worst fucking experience of my life last year. Although I
was able to see Teachings From the Electronic Brain and saw Single Cell
Orchestra and Freaky Chakra live, Moby performed absolutely horribly and
the utterly talentless (unless you count sucking a dick) Traci Lords was
alowed to 'D.J.'. And to cap it off I suffered permanent hearing dammage
from the terrible sound mix....
