This Is Not This Heat>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I mean... ****. I hate you so much for being able to attend at all.

love!

I have a really hard time picturing you as goth back in the day tbh.

Well, at least you have it down to 4 essentials.
It’s a (good?) problem tho every year and it gets more and more difficult to see
even half of the stuff I want to see. Last year, for instance, after busting 4 days
of concerts at about 10/12/12/10 hours/day, I think we saw about 60% of what
we wanted to see. Don’t forget there’s the 12 hour drone fest that you walk into
occasionally ... and the galleries and special events. I never went to any of the
film events. Oh! and you have talks that’ll be given too. Caffeinated buzzing!!!

Also, if it helps with your decisions: Nief-Norf seems to play every year.

Definitely a good problem. I'm a huge fan of live scores during screenings, but I might skip the ones that they're having at the festival for fear of falling asleep after marathoning concerts. Not sure if I'll see any speakers, it'd have to be pretty interesting for me to skip a show for it.

We'll see but I'm pretty interested in seeing an ensemble that large. I'm sure that someone's gonna get cut too. Oh and the Lucier performance of I Am Sitting in a Room is going to be a must as well. And KTL. And Tim Berne's Snakeoil. And Thumbscrew. And Yves Tumor. And Fire!. And Jlin...****.

They started moving the talks to late morning or early afternoon last year,
so, for example, we could see Roedelius talk at something like 1PM and
there might be a “minor” band playing somewhere else. Yes, there’s the
heavy acts usually between 5 and 10PM, so sometimes that’s when the
decision making has to happen - but hey! it’s an incredible environment.

My story about my first time performing “...Sitting...” is that I had the first
recording of it from the early 70s. I hadn’t yet met Lucier so I didn’t know
that he had a speech impediment and thought that the stuttering part was
part of the piece, so I included it in the recitation. It added some rhythm. 🤪

I'm going to try to fart during the performance.

:tramp:

Just picked up a ticket to see Chris Robinson Brotherhood in a couple of weeks.

I was supposed to be going to see Cypress Hill in Glasgow in 2 weeks, I had to sell my ticket because I’m poor :(. It’s in one of the best venues we have here and it’s well known around the world so I’m just gutting I’m now missing it :(.
