Kinda OT, but I was thinking about upcoming live electronic music shows and couldn't help but compare with the Flaming Lips show last week in Montreal. Why can't more live shows be like this one? It must be the best live experience I have seen in my life. I must say that the last time they came to my hometown of Montreal was during the 1994 Lolapalooza tour (forgettable performance). It's a great experience, with strong visuals a la Boards of Canada, dancing fans on stage, equipped with fur costumes and big flashlights, huge balloons flying around, energy-packed Wayne Coyne (singer), that came up with so many things to say and show. Now I think about some shows I have seen in the past, like Clayton behind a small laptop, Vibert in total darkness, and countless other acts that don't give a shit if you're watching or not. I know I can't compare them with the music of the Flips, don't want to start on the same subject again, I guess I was just too excited about their show and had to write about it. poussinfrais -- Sebastien Dalphond R&D-Hybride --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
