Tempted to go to see DJ shadow at the Barbican touring the 30 year anniversary of Endtroducing.

My boss told me he bought a copy of endtroducing from the shop on the cover of endtroducing, or something like that anyway. Always thought that was cool
Pretty sure that’s sold out.
Or have you got a cheeky favour you can call in?
Bit gutted I didn’t get tickets myself…
I got an in yeah. My GFs auntie is his wife’s mum.
Of course this is not true, I just got too busy at work to follow it up.
I just hadn’t clicked get tickets far enough to see that it’s sold out. Silly me.
He’s playing at the Mosley Jazz Festival in Brum next year - that’s a small family friendly festival in the Birmingham suburb of Mosley for those who aren’t familiar. I’m really tempted to take the kids. I’m sure they’d get down to Organ Donor.

Dunno if anyone else has posted this here but this album is my current obsession, listened to it about a dozen times in the past week. Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son) with Nigel Godrich and a bloke from The Strokes, the album sounds like if George Harrison sang for Radiohead. It came out yonks ago but I’ve only just noticed.
Danny Sapko mentioned here, fuck aye.
This whole debacle is mental the more it goes on, fairplay.

I don’t know anything about him, just one of those algo things. He is funny though “some of the world’s top guitarists.. and tomny lee”
Did you see his video where he “proves” that he is playing, coughs every time he hits a pedal like we can’t see what he’s doing with his foot. You’d think he would have taken tips from Major Ingram’s time on Millionaire that coughing just makes you look more guilty

Mate, that gave me a right giggle. He tried to hide it in such an old school way of coughing and hoping no one noticed.
Aye, we noticed.
That guy is ruined. You just have to hold your hands up, swallow some pride and explain a little and then hopefully retain enough respect for that to disappear and lead a normal life because your career is done. But no, he’s tripled down and made himself the biggest laughing stock. What a complete bell. Kinda feel for him, his brain must be snapping and going to some dark places but he has built his career and livelyhood around a shitty lie
“Midi Vanilli” is pretty good

If it had just been the use of midi to keep up with parts of songs he would no longer keep up with then fair enough, all manner of tricks are used live to keep the show going.
But to hinge the whole bravado of a bass solo to impress people and hosting bass clinics using pre mapped midi patterns is basically just scamming people out of money. He deserves all that’s coming to him

Yeah totally agree. I meant that if he owned up and drifted away from music (because that is done) he could get a job and go to the supermarket, do his shopping as a nobody and have a new life and forget about it but it’s getting to the point that it’s not just bass players, not even just musicians but the average person on the internet who like spicy scandals know who he is. Because of his attitude he’s fucked himself completely. He’ll have “Midi Vanilli” shouted at him from all angles.
Just got a tracking update to say my copy of Aphex Twin - Drukqs on vinyl (reissue) will be here this afternoon.
Hopefully blasting Vordhosbn will lift the dark winter night blues
