Wall of Mouths

If I were at peace with my dying it would be Hypnos69’s Legacy

If that wouldn’t be the case: Troublegum. And whilst listening I’d bang my head against the wall untill I drop dead or unconscious.

Hawk Eyes - IDEAS.

Over and over and over and over again. This should get a lot of appeal amongst T? fans, it’s intelligent, loud and not devoid of catchiness.

They were supposed to open up for them in Leeds but pulled out. That’s good, I would’ve died with miserable envy in my home that night. T?, Skindred, Hawk Eyes pretty much the best bill possible with British bands I think.

oh yeah, the annotations on the set list are mine and in my slightly drunken haze I put Teenage Kicks up front of Nowhere which is wrong. they let it segue into Screamager of course which by the way was a fan-fucking-tastic T? moment.

I snatched the sound man’s set list after the gig.

I was also a bit disappointed by the start of the gig. Ghost Trio is my fave track of the new album and it sounded lame. Ecclesiastes was pure magic though and Living In The Shadow went down very well, that’s not gonna fall by the wayside soon I think. Anyway, another great night out with the lads.

oh yes I’m leading the race again and this time ain’t nobody gonna catch me up no mo’

(is hiring a mercenary for the dirty work considered cheating?)

1. Etta James (*JOKER*)
2. James Murphy
3. Queen Fabiola
4. Hosni Mubarak
5. Fidel
6. Asif Ali Zardari
7. Maradonna
8. Boris Jeltsin
9. Ariel Sharon
10. Zsa Zsa Gabor
11. Lou Reed (karma is gonna get him I tell ya)
12. Stevie Nicks
13. Saif al Islam Gadaffi
14. Johnny Hallyday
15. BB king
16. Keith Richards
17. Sean Connery
18. Elton John
19. Kanye West
20. Lemmy

Here’s mine, hoping do do better than last year I included a few who have already one foot in the grave but as long as I don’t personally pull the plug it is not cheating right?

yeah I only noticed the ‘crowdsurfing forbidden’ sign after the last gig, so I guess that was really only a pro forma prohibition. A really big Westvlaamse farmer’s daughter landed on my and my sisters heads. It seemed like it was her, and other girls, easiest way to get in the dry zone when the clouds bursted above Torhout.

yesterday they said early 2012 and also played two new songs. ‘Living In the Shadow of a terrible thing’ and the other I didn’t catch the name of. Both sounded like worthy Therapy? live set additions

all right I don’t pay attention for a few months and suddenly I am winning a race. Nice.

right now, and for the best part of the week I’ll be either listening to http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Masters+rock/59296672 a playlist with a buch of randomly picked tracks by bands attending the Masters@rock fest. Also I’ll be shutting myself off the world and enjoy my recently purchased Primordial - Redemption at the puritan’s hand double white vinyl.

Ha, 13 points at once, appropriate to start a race like this.

You have no idea how much people in Flanders are willing to crucify me for capitalizing on this woman’s demise.

Anyway, people should seperate races and politics. I suck at one, and it’s not races ;-)

Well, I have my first points Marie-Rose Morel lost her battel with cancer last week: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Rose_Morel

Just picked up the news that Mubarak didn’t so much resign but actually slipped into a coma… Hopes up for more quick scores.

Here http://www.digg.be/articles.php?id=3359

It’s in Dutch though, good luck translating with Google.

I had chat with them before the Amsterdam Troublegum gig. Both, gig and chat were highlights of 2010 (and beyond)

Thx lads,

I pick Fabiola as my joker then

1 Ariel Sharon
2 Koningin Fabiola (Belgian Queen mum)
3 Marie Rose Morel (Belgian poltician http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Rose_Morel)
4 Fidel Castro
5 zsa zsa gabor
6 BB King
7 Joey Jordison
8 Bobby Liebling
9 Lemmy
10 Messiah Marcolin
11 President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt
12 Stevie Nicks
13Johnny Hallyday
14 Dick Dale
15 M Thatcher
16 King Abdullah of saudi arabia
17 Kanye West
18 Marky Ramone
19 Zakk Wylde
20 Amy Winehouse

about the play list: they also snug in some Gloria before the scorching finale of potato junkie & teethgrinder. The rest was unchanged, I think.

Never sung along so much at a gig. This was awesome, too bad the sound levels weren’t all that great on the balcony. Didn’t stop me from dancing though. Must say that the Amsterdam audience is much more civilized and quiet than an average Belgian crowd. Only one stage diver, modest moshpits and I was the only one without a shirt. Great atmosphere all together and a band on fire. Twenty years on and definitely still going strong.

One remark though, Andy please, nverver wear those pants again that probably fitted well twenty years ago…

best performance of crooked timber I’ve seen from them

totally agreed. the other songs of CT sounded really awesome as well. Really hope Crooked timber won’t fall of the setlist, like so many other great songs of their “latter era”

Farflung - A wound in eternity
Suicide Watch - Figurehead of pain
Alan Davey - Eclectic Devils

This was posted recently on the BongRa website:

“Bong-Ra to remix Therapy?
Yep, will be remixing the 90s screamo band Therapy? for a remix compilation they are to release next year.”

Screamo??????

Anyway BongRa is a pretty rad Dutch DnB, Jungle, Breakcore, Rave whatnot producer.

Does anyone know more of this? Will there be only new remixes or is it going to be part compilation as well?

Suggestions maybe for other remix artists?

cheers

it sounds almost like you find out your youth was just a waste of time. that’s a bit worrysome to me. I mean Idon’t want to be 18 again but it was a good time in it’s own right. that feeling is unique, being the oldest and most respected guys at school, getting to talk back to your parents, starting to have some skill with the booze and the broads and still be unaware of any responsability the real life is going to bring. how can you be unsatisfied with that?

agreed it wasn’t very loud. But I liked it, my ears have been properly damaged by All the loud music over the past fifteen years and most gigs I just can’t stand it to be upfront anymore. Thursday was different, and only right so

check my review of the gig at: http://digg.be/gigs.php?id=55

cheers

I ‘ve been buying shitloads of stuff but today Ufomammut came in. Sweet psyched up doom from Italia.

I hate linkin park and the beatles, with a passion and a grudge to each breathing being that does like them.

I’d pick Kyuss. especially blues for the red sun always hammers with a heavy impact on my sanity. I must ad that QOTSA ar by far the best radio-rock band these days and they have been since day one. Did anybody ever take a shot at Hermano? They’ve also got some good stuff.

In heavy rotation for like forever dude:
Solace - The Black Black Get this, everybody, ASAP

Also:
End of level boss - Inside the difference Engine
Arkhon Infaustus - Orthodoxyn
Litmus - Planetfall
T? - Troublegum
Behemoth - Apostasy
No Mo Trevno - Demos

Super!

I recall leaving two gigs because I found them boring:

Admiral Freebee and Cult of Luna

This doesn’t imply they’re the worst livebands ever but I tend to leave bad gigs much earlier and forget about it.

Boards Of Canada, Autechre, Venetian Snares, and Aphex Twin are all personal faves of mine.

damn good taste you have. I might see VSnares and Autechre this weekend on the Dour festival. I might not as well. There’s about 200 acts to check out. Some of my fave dancemusic includes: Sickboy, BongRa, Enduser, Asian Dub Foundation and if I’m horny Basement Jaxx or Buscemi

I’ve heard that up in Suomi everyone is drooling over ‘hope’ it received very high marks in Terrorizer as well. I still need to be convinced though…
