uniqueness.Pop etc, but within the limitation, they have certain qualities that make them step out of the crowd, such as Neil Young, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Isis, John Coltrane, Faith No More, etc.That said, Vision Creation Newsun by the japanese band Boredoms is definitely one of the first kind.Through meticulous study, they have completely mastered the architecture of the transcendent rock jam."That's what grabbed my attention.One of my principles when it comes to music is: "There's nothing better than a proper mindfuck".But then, a traffic light, you slow down, you almost stand still, and then the light turns green again and you accelerate using the full power of your 500 PS engine.This album will seriously challenge your understanding of what music is.Mainly due to a train of thought which started with reading and thinking about this this post.Emotions which control me, control my actions, control what I'm capable of at a given point in time.Being president in an LC that faces many many challenges, due to the fact that we've been growing at an incredible pace over the last couple of months, is not that easy ;).Therefore, I always had an excuse for a lack of energy: "Well, it's caused by someting I can not control".No, it's because I LET myself get stuck in negative emotions.That means, that my most productive and most active times are when everything is going right.I'm really convinced now that I have to overcome these "processes" in order to lead a happy life.I'm not able to interrupt the "chain of effects" a specific happening might have.Have you ever felt, that your stomach and heart told you that a certain person is right in his criticism about the way you act as a leader, however, at the same time, your head tells you that your responsibility towards the role you have within an organisation requires you to act that way?On the other hand, what if it turns out to be right, and we failed as an organisation because I didn't have the guts to stick to a specific decision?Have you ever felt, that your stomach an...This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.We couldn't access this site while we were in China, I guess because of the internet censorship over there, and for that reason it just completely slipped my mind.There were two albino children on the plane who were absolutely fascinating, and lots of complicated forms to fill in before we got to customs.Olly said "we're in a band" and held up his cymbals and the man nodded politely and waved him through.The hired car that we had for the whole trip was quite entertaining, we listened to the driver's Fleetwood Mac best of literally every single journey.On our first day we slept a lot, mostly whilst attempting to hold conversations and meet people, but at least we caught up on rest.This was probably the only meal that settled untoubled in Brendan's weary belly.The Beijing accent is so noticeably different from the Taiwanese, despite them being the same

the airport.Japan shortly after the Second World War to give a series of consultations and lectures on production.Nest, and the work that went into preparations and organization for the show.Japan are often blown off stage by local opening bands, and so we were encouraged to play the best we possibly could, and to ignore our tiredness.After we finished playing, the crowd refused to leave the venue, even after the house lights had been bought up and the sound team had started playing CD's, so we decided to do our first ever encore.We had the day off in Tokyo on the Wednesday, which was incredible.Duomo arigato: Ken, Jason, Graham, everyone else involved with the show, Joe, Shoto and Euphoria, Ovum, Eugene and Eksperimentoj, Teru and Masami and Thomason Sounds, Warsarwa Records, XTAL

courtyard with the Thee More Shallows guys, and the Festival Carphanaum crew.Reims isn't too far away from home).We left Jack there because we hate him (actually, because he was heading to Paris for a few days before coming back home), and we left that great continent.We eventually arrived at Le Mars Attack at midnight, at the same minute at which we were booked to play, and scrambled to get set up quickly enough to play a full set.The select few that enjoyed the show seemed to really enjoy it, though.The barmaid at the venue looked a little like Isabella Rosselini, and was as insane as her character in Blue Velvet.He was driving in the name of love, and we were all impressed (sleepily impressed, after about an hour and a half of sleep).Luckily, he found it, and found us, and I soundchecked his violin for him, so all was resolved.The van broke down this morning, and we were worried about the drive to Angouleme, but I'm writing on the French motorway at the moment, and all should be ok.We drove through some beautiful Pireneos villages this morning.Thanks to: Sergio, Sergio's cats, Raphael, Natalia, Rosie, Nix, Nadine, the girl who directed Dan to the station.Dan's

day.Somerset in French, and shouted "ahh!Apparently, i missed a drive up a mountain while i slept in the van.We got lost in Liege, and missed our slot, but the lovely Bracken swapped places with us

rest of Crippled Black Phoenix, Bracken, Rothko, Marie, Geert, Luke and George.Olly shouted "you stupid bastard!"German man looked upset, maybe thinking we meant it for him.Apparently on Good Friday in Stuttgart, there is a rule against dancing, so the venue set up little platforms with mats for people to sit and watch.The show was great, too.The food, drink and location of Glocksee in Hannover are all absolutely beautiful.We celebrated Jack's birthday in the city after the show, which was a lot of fun.Tobi, Bjorn, Marcus, Kheira, JohannesBraunschweig reminds me rather of good old Folkestone, empty streets and strange combinations of shops.Nice pizza restaurant, though.We hadn't had much rest after the Berlin antics, but played without too many problems, and even saw a couple of faces from earlier shows in the crowd.We had more shouts for an encore and a longer applause than we'd ever had, which sounds like we probably played well, which is great.The evening was a joint cinema and live music sort of affair, so we watched 2 films and another band before we played.Tonight we celebrate Jack's geburtstag ins Berliner technoclub. |
