Remix:

Ginseng beer, dodgy offy on the (Olaf) Stapleton Road, drive, drive, drive (cheers drive!), they all talk funny down here little metallic voices like estuarine robots, the pub on the corner's now a house that no-one will live in because the windows are too big...

...I've done that sort of thing before.

Kraftwerk played (no, really. I could see keyboard-prodding going on, and not just in the manner of updating one's weblog from the stage) a blinder, and acted in a manner I approve of: on stage promptly at eight, play for two hours, piss off. Job done.

Tubed it back to DJ & Sarah's domicile (well, nearly...) and proceeded to get more beered up while watching Avalon, which may well turn out to be the best film I've yet seen.

(Yeah, I took the tube. Admittedly on beer-fired autopillock, but... I have a few things to think about now. That quiet 'click' was another whole wedge of memory fitting back into place. An odd and by now familiar feeling.)

damn, didn't see you there either! it was rather great wasnt it?

i liked the extra work they'd done on songs. sounded like a touch of orbital at times, or "the mix" updated from 1991 to 2004... stonking.

We were in the Old Gimmer section upsatirs with the seats. (And Bill Bailey, it turns out)

It was a damn fine set. One gets the impression that they should be listened to at polite volume with much beard-stroking and pointed comment about 'German irony' ... But it all works much better when belted out at volume = kidney-wobbling. I mean, you could have just left me with the rhythm loops from 'Pocket calculator' or 'It's more fun to compute' and I'd have been well pleased.

Funny, never saw you. First or second sitting?

First. Right hand side of the place, couple of rows back from the front.

Its good to see you peices resembling a jigzaw rather than a broken vase. Things need to be built, Ginseng beer needs to be drunk, and I look forward to the creative ideas that will no doubt spring from brilliant minds soon. xxx

Ta.

(I'm still trying to think of a way of explaining Libeljournal which won't reveal the 'bloke behind the curtain'. As it were. Other than 'insert odd phonecam pictures into personal webspace. Link to same in comments. All happy.')
