Err. a bit late but well...
I've read all the mu-ziq stuff (itching with envy) and my overwhelming
feeling is well 'Just what did you expect?'
:::: Ashdown's poignant comments about the ignorant crowd...
Same in the Uk, same the world over. Sad, but gives you an inner
(selfish) glow :) The neanderthal crew in the Orbit didn't 'get' it either.
:::: Poor live performance...?
Well what did you expect from a low budget moving boat affair? :)
Dis the promoter not Mike.
The performance I saw at the Orbit was breathtaking for it's rawness.
Liver than live. Easily the best thing I've seen on stage. Yes, beats
crashed and he missed bits and mistimed bits, but these were few and far
between and were outshone by the music as a whole.
I'd be very surprised if anybody could play music that complex perfectly, in
realtime, without dedicating a lifetime to practise.

So what. Just listen. He looked like a complete nerdy dweeb to me but I
don't give a shit, i don't have to talk to him or look at his photo, I
listen to his sounds.
And as for complaining, good on 'im. We Brits have a reputation for NOT
conmplaining. Stick it too the Yanks Mike! (only (kindof) joking :)
The reason he made such a visible scene is more than likely, because he
felt he'd let you (the crowd) down. You don't think he must be acutely
aware of every mistake he makes (and the notes you take?)
Been a bit busy today. Is this 6 or 7? :)
