Ah, first CD i have bought since january... Cottage Indusrtries 2
compilation on neo Ouija, and most lovely it is too. I was torn between
picking that up and the Infant CD. In the end i opted for the comp, cos it
was double disc, and had so many artists i haven't heard before.
Outstanding disc tho, just truely warm minimal 'lectronica.
Also picked up the Kettel 7" on Planet Mu, tho haven't been able to listen
to that much, as i still don't have a turntable.
Went to see The Notwist last night.
I was really dissapointed that Christian Kleine fell sick on the second
night of the tour, he would have complemented the Notwist really well.
As it was, Posthuman opened for them, and i was pretty impressed with
their stuff. Your most cliche looking bedroom/laptop technicians ever,
so into their music, manical headbobbing, grinning, chain smoking, should
be smoking spliffs, driving crunchy fucked beats, with a definite nod to
hip hop and 'ardcore. i was dissapointed in the crowds' blase attitude
towrds them tho.
The Notwist... wow, so much more band-like than i was expecting. I kinda
assumed it would be one guy playing laptop with a guitar. As it was, i
think there were 5 of them on stage... guitar, bass, keyboard, i-book, and
drummer. Somewhere between the pop sensibilities of american college
radio, kinda Weezer like, and then big driving krautrock influenced
workouts, with a well balanced use of the laptop beats and glitches.
hmm, yes, nice weekend and all! but ouch, f*@king monday mornign again so
quickly. ~!
