i will tell you about the aphex twin show in las vegas:
there were very few people there. 200 at most. probably 100-150.
there was only one thing at this show that i don't think was at the
others: a dancing nude showgirl. they had apparantly picked her up just
the day before. nude, at least in all the correct places, wearing bizzare
plastic strips and stars on the others. security removed her forcibly
from the stage after a few minutes. richard also interacted with the
audience a few times. oh yes, and mc rapped over luke's djing about how
people should give them all marijuana, as they'd run out.
after the show, i was fortunate enough to speak with luke vibert at the
big white bus through the haze of marijuana smoke and the vile chattering
of wannabe showbiz types who pressed business cards in his face yet never
actually heard of him before that night. when i asked him what he plugged
he told me it was a childhood nickname based on some cartoon character,
and he also told me that it wasn't worth buying big soup at import prices.
it should be coming out domestically.
