I have now. Vow of silence. It sounds like the aftermath of a particularly successful invasion of earth as the victorious extra-terrestrials have marched on the governments of the earth and now they're off to a party playing the kazoo.

this and the new Doctor Who. I wouldn't have liked to have had any more excitement than that in one weekend.

Can't wait until the ica session.

I got my ticket confirmation and didn't see that you had to pay by 8 April. So I paid later than that. They've taken the money but haven't responded to my emails. don't s'pose anyone has any thoughts on how I might get through to them???

The Tate gig is tomorrow folks. 'citing

So who went and what did you think?

I thought it was great. The sound was mighty, and what a great space the turbine hall was for it. I was quite far up the slope and the bass was going through me at times. The music went perfectly with the films. They had a choir performing with them too. I really liked lounging on the floor on cushions rather than proper seats.

It started with a hum, which gradually got louder and louder. I noticed it straight away, but i think most people didn't hear it till it got really loud and TG actually came on stage. They did the first tune with no film and just a projection of the endless not logo. When the films started they did everything sitting down. Gen didn't do any 'singing'- the films were the more important aspect of the night. A group of people behind us who had been drinking mini bottles of champagne left before the films started, not sure why, but a waste of good tickets imo. Heard one of them saying it wasn't what they expected

Couple of bits of overpriced merchandise to be had. Prostitution 2007 t shirts and poster. Endless not badge, which was a tenner, but i wish i'd got one. I got a very cheery music from the death factory poster. I only realised that the death factory picture looked a lot like the Tate as we were going back over the wobbly bridge and i looked back at it. Managed to get it nearly home without any damage

It's going to take something quite special to beat this in the my gig of the year stakes

Should be great at the ICA next week. Shame i can't go though. Hope everyone has a great time.

We thought it was great too, but found the films a bit dull. The sound was awesome, heavy heavy bass, very physical. We did worry about the effect on baby though.
