probably one of the best nights of my life, had major dejavu walking around the same parts of the city I walked that night, I feel it every time I here this song:
i didnt know it was possible to feel that good locked in a warehouse with 4000 other people.
Wednesday
musical concerts
is there such thing as overkill when it comes to gig?
i've been to over 5 in the last 3 weeks, more than i'd go to in 3 months in Hereford, and only been in awe at a couple. If Fuck Buttons played Hereford i'd probably explode with excitement and it'd be the talk of the (alt) town for weeks before and after the gig, but in Manchester I only really noticed it as something to do in an evening, and they were great but the only time i've mentioned it is when i've been asked about it. i've passed on two gigs in the last 3 days partly due to lack of funds, tonight I skipped seeing Yeasayer (possibly one of my favourite bands of last year) due to not wanting to see Bat for Lahses (as well as banking on a yeasayer UK solo tour sometime soon (pls thnkx). YACHT + Casiokids instead then, kids.
can you have too much of a good thing?

Twi and The Humble Feather
Mystery, it seems, can only work in favour of certain artists. Would Burial be the talk of internet-town if it wasn't for his ambiguous identity? What would Sunn o))) be without the robes and the quest for 'Guitar Power', of course when mystery appears artificial or overtly intentional it no longer exists as mystery simply as a gimmick. Unintentional mystery is what Twi and The Humble feather do best, as well as bemusing and charming.
'Twi' is a character in the instrumental bands songs, an alien however you'd have to have a great amount of in-sight to work this out for yourself. The band tell Twi's story via three acoustic guitars, three sets of vocal chords and nothing else, which in itself is astonishing due to the incredible range of noises that are conveyed, none of these noises can be described as words and they vary from spaceship noises to almost train like rhythms. The faces of the audience in the Deaf Institute alter between bemused and amused. The trios set displays minimalist acoustic guitar works with hints of baroque and an abundance of Phillip Glass' vision, a fascinating outfit.
