More of tomorrow's parties, and electronica live?

This past weekend I attended yet another of the All Tomorrow's Parties events, this time it was the Nightmare Before Christmas weekender, curated by Portishead.
Among the many great acts I saw over the weekend (the highlights of which for me were Glenn Branca's New Works For Guitar and Team Brick) was Aphex Twin. Arguments about his set aside (he played too much house for my liking) I'm not entirely convinced that what I saw was actually a performance. Richard D. James was definitely there,… Continue

This was the second gig of the series that I have seen, having been at Koko last week to see Slint perform Spiderland.

Hi Mike,
Interesting tunes you have here.

Liked Clickety the best, it almost has an oriental feel to it. Good one to slam on mid party when everyone's melted.

Good work, nice production and sound quality.

Thanks,
Throbber.
