[run_time]

Some nice stuff although no grand revelations

Grand revelations are history. Music is history. It's all curation. :slanted:

I'm curious about what Mark Stewart might do, though. Still scream about control units being laid out geometrically and how the busier we are the less we see...hopefully. That man should be knighted. Not that he'd accept it.

Massive Attack Presents Future Sounds of Hip-hop
DALEK + COOL KIDS + SHAPE OF BROAD MINDS + FLYING LOTUS
19 June

Would've thought this act of hubris would raise a few comments... although Flying Lotus is getting plenty of love here it seems.

I"m surprised there's none of the Maritz Von Ozvald/Basic Channel reggae stuff, since they're made Massive fucking irrellevant this decade.

Blade Runner at the IMAX with a live soundtrack caught my eye.

Only Meltdown thing I've ever been to is Terry Riley (part of the Robert Wyatt Meltdown in 2001 I think) - that was blinding.

this one should be, as its outside. i reckon, you'll be paying for the royal festival hall and the rest though.

Mark Stewart is under Stiff Little Fingers on the bill?!

WTF?

 

[STN]

Do SLF still have that bemulleted pran from The Jam in them?

Everything they did after Inflammable Material suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Yes, great bass player tho.

Soutbank website and phones have gone into meltdown this morning. I assume because people are desperate to see da Attack somewhere smaller than Brixton Academy.

No tickets on sale for Saxon, so it looks like that will be free?
