Squarepusher in London yesterday

[Tec]

I feel like i got into a fight.

[Claire]

. fucking armagibbon mate. Toms shut music down. gameover see u later, honesltly it was like a total Union .That moshpit was vbrutal!£ good to see u down there TEc and was good to push you . but why did i see u crying at the end? what a night. got back had sex and 1 hours sleep. now im sweaty like a cunt in the same clothes at work like a mug. fucking work mate.

[Tec]

Mate, i was upset because it was over. I nearly lost my shoe three times. Got back and my girlfriend went mental at Analord 3:30am plus friends vibe. Not good. No sex for me. : - (
At work feel like i'm pissed still. I liked your yellow Helly Hansen puffa jacket mate. where did you get it?

[Tec]

feel better now, look like a car crash victim though.

What did you think of Tom's Jazz band, bits i liked bits i didn't..

[content]

who was in tha band, ya know? a few years ago i heard he was gonna be in a ajazz band with simon fell but havent heard anything asince.

[grobelaar]

Sounds good, I hate you all - fucking London cunts, having all the fun :(

[Konx-om-Pax]

ooooooooooooooo, i can't wait.

[Tec]

It w`as fuckin stupid. Total shutdown like Philip says.. Best set i've heard Tom do for a good 5 years or so .

[gypsy_cream]

i love acid moshpits

[Tec]

Come to Bangface clair!!! Bring nik nak paddyy wack...bring ya mam too. Well good.

[Loz]

sounds cool. I remember Tom tearing my face off at Glasto about 4 years ago/ No bass, just his laptop and a bed side table lamp. 2 hours pretty much solid noise and him occasionally screaming into a microphone "scream if you want to go faster!", "come on you fucking cunts!" and various other things

then I saw him last year, and couldn't dance because of all the fucking chinstrokers trying desperately to find a good place so they could see what he was doing. Who cares, listen to the music.

[Tec]

1997 (maybe 1998..can't remember) @ Glastonbury, Sunday, 11am...Jazz stage..

..Tom delivered the most stupidly fast acid techno set i have ever born witness too. Nuts isn't the word.

[penciLneck]

not going to bangface is probably the only reason I regret leaving England. any xmas action planned?

[V Knid esq]

Fuckers, so gutted I couldn't go. This 3 jobs and school thing is starting to get on top :illin:

[notorious J.I.M]

Shit, this is why I'm moving to London in the new year, you guys have all the fun!

Full of them last night too, you can't see anything but two laptops and a bass guitar so whats the point? Much better going mental in the acid mash-pit..

[olv]

i went along, had the best night in yonks...he properly tore it up. i have to say the jazzband bit at the start was a bit too jazz club for my tastes, but it shows how fucking good he is on the bass...well impressed

[Loz]

at glasto last year, the place was full of them, so no one could move. SP had built a massive wall from flight cases, monitors and his MS-20 and hid behind that, so you couldn't see anything at all, and yet people still tried to look over or around it

I would have gone to see him this year, but it was well muddy and I was fucked off my face by 7pm, so I didn't bother. Wish I had gone now.

[penciLneck]

glasto bunny.

[Loz]

everyone come to glastonbury with me next time

I remember him doing the dance tent at Glasto '96, playing the opening set off his tits from the night before and saying stuff like "who wants some mushrooms for breakfast?" on the mic. He must have used a dat because he ended up in the middle of the crowd at one point and reappeared on stage to play some bass over it later. Quality!

I've been 9 times but I prefer going to Sonar now. Proper bed and shower vibe, I'm getting too old for camping!

[Konx-om-Pax]

should organise a venga bus down to bangface next year. stupid scottish takeover style.

[Dask]

Best squarepusher set I've seen is the one he did at Glastonbury in the Avalon stage, I think it was 98.

Pretty much all 808 606 303 101 action with a bit of jungle mentalism thrown in at the end. Was at a similar time to when he did the Buzz Caner LP on Rephlex.

"Are you ready to rave..."


@ Nik Nak, Gypsy_Cream & Skosh you should all definatly come down to Bangface in the New Year! ;)

[Paddy]

hehe, ok

@tom, the vengabus idea sounds good!

[Granny]

I forgot about the buzz caner thing.. was that actually any good?

[Dask]

Mind War Electro is my favourite tune he ever did. That is on Buzz Caner. Nuff said. :)

[gypsy_cream]

dask thats a fuckin blinder... wish i had that on vinyl!! used to play it off mp3 on my radio show ALOT

[Hanoimé]

Just flew back home after a week of Londoning which started with the Squarepusher gig. The night was an absolute pleasure, I'm getting short of breath even writing about it now. Sweetness & sweatness, I want more of this! It is just perfection when one gets to dance to music which completely takes you away. How nice it is to wake up with dance-achy feet. So good it hurts!

[dan gulberry]

@Hanoime....is squarepusher 'doing' finland on this tour? Just wondering if you know. I'm going there for a few weeks over xmas, and am trying to catch as many good gigs as possible. The only one I've booked so far is Saul Williams at Tavastia, helsinki.

[Hanoimé]

Oh no, he's not 'doing' us Finns.

I'll be keeping my ears & eyes open for happenings and keep you posted. Are you going to recide mainly in Helsinki area?

So, you're going to travel all this way to meet Father Christmas? Make sure you let him know when you're coming, since he's hardly ever home around Christmas time! Mrs C will be there, though.

you finns crack me up! Not one finnish person that I've met has broken into a smile or chuckle when speaking of santa claus.

My gf is finnish - from Ivalo, way up north - which means we're there a lot. I'll be in Helsinki for a while but I have to get to lapland after the saul williams gig (20th dec) so it might be only a short visit to the capital. I love it in helsinki though - a really special place, as is finland in general.

[Hanoimé]

Wow, Ivalo is really way up. Lapland is quite magical in the winter. And in the summer, mind you. So, you've secured a white christmas, us southerners don't know how it's gonna turn out.
Right now, the weather here is just taking the piss. Dark and wet, no sight of snow, sleet if we're lucky. But up north is a different story.

How is Santa going to travel with his sleigh if there's no snow?!?

[dan gulberry]

hmmm, doesn't santa travel via the medium of air? or is that a Coke invention? While we're on the topic, why do finns still believe santa dresses in red and white?

Hmmm, dark, wet, sleety helsinki. sounds lovely! At least you;re prepared for the winter. Here, the houses are terribly insulated, and I guarantee everything will come to a halt should we go below -10 (which apparentlt might be on the cards). I'd rather go to a colder country where people know how to stay warm!

[Hanoimé]

Could be... But it's always on the evening news at some point in december here, when santa leaves his house and embarks on his trip round the world, then he has a sleigh and reindeers. Although last christmas i saw a very drunken and skinny santa cycling in the snowstorm...

What else is a santa supposed to wear than red and white?! Back in the day (about a 100 yrs ago) i think he used to don fur and "tuohivirsu" and a "kontti", but nowadays... I mean, what colours does he wear round your house?
