What events/gigs have you bought tickets for?
Nice aerial view of Field Day
Never understood the fuss about Desyn whatever his name is. Kind of shite rhouses would like. He went wah wah as far as I knew and couldnt leave his house unless he was peeled off the windows. Meltcase.
Hopkins, Bonobo and Aphex Twin were all awful at Field Day.
Worst one I’ve been to.
Literally unlistenable.
Horrendous isn’t it, think I lasted 30 minutes.
You know what you are going to get with Aphex Twin, complete madness. He is definitely a marmite artist. Personally I think he is a bit of a genius, and love the randomness of his live sets
Have seen him 3 times now, every sets gets progressively worse.
Suspect Hugo loves him.

Was really looking forward to seeing him especially in light of his new EP, but it mainly sounded like a herd of elephants falling down the stairs and much of the crowd left early. Jon Hopkins smashed it and was the highlight of the day for me.
It’s the absolute awfulness I struggle with.
AFX is a properly annoying artist. He’s produced some amazing tuneful music, and panning through that video there are snippets in there I love…..but then it all goes potty. Maybe thats the point. Pendulum of musical styles and challenging the audience etc etc , but majority of that set is as per @alistair ’s astute summary.
Am looking forward to seeing Dj Sprinkles and Soichi Terada on Sunday I must say.
Norman Jay “Good Times fun bus” Sunday at Ally Pally. Lots of old tracks you’ve heard a thousand times……bring it on! Booked a night at The Hoxton too . Fingers crossed the weather holds out
The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs at APE for me on Friday
Looks like I’m the only one going to anything decent over the weekend.
