--> i bought some tickets to see aphex twin at the warehouse project in manchester in august. i got rung up yesterday. they oversold by 300 on the collect tickets. so my two got cancelled. i sent them quite a strong email yesterday (it had the words f**k, tard and coke addled in it) and they apologised and offered me some backstage passes for soulwax. no thanks!

i explained i do gigs and am booked and can't rearrange, but i had bought some tickets on ebay for aphex when i found out mine had been cancelled.

she then told me that the ebay tickets might be fakes, as there had been reports of holographic tickets being forged and sold on ebay, or ones that have been cancelled. but i can email her the numbers so she can check they are ok.
she also told me how to check for a fake ticket namely if it turns black when burnt with a lighter!

anyway just to say that its put a downer on me. but i am determined to go no matter what. sod the touts and the ticket scammers.

the pic is indeed a dancer from a gig he and chris cunningham did in turin. its up on the web somewhere as a shaky video.

for me its not just about the man himself, but a celebration of all that is good in this world. i have seen him over the years at various places, liverpool, hackney, leedsx2, glastonbury and sonar festival. and everytime he never fails to move the crowd and get a proper party going. i don't really care hes not playing live. i think when i saw him at glastonbury he was sampling from records he played and manipulating them, which he did with a great deal of skill and some bollocks as his tiny sony clie kept crashing. his selection is always impeccable and its always a great excuse for a party.

as to him not being fresh - has anyone listened to the tuss? one of my fave records of the year!

samski thanks for the offer - someone else has spare tickets but i booked a gig the night after in bolton so no can do. next time though! check out chrome hoof when you are there you will not be disappointed.

cool, you woulda been welcome to join us quip. i've never heard of chrome hoof before they were on this lineup. i'll check 'em out. thanks for the tip!!

i got me ebay tickets this morning. thank christ.

did you burn them?

hehe - good one quip!

well
the aphex tein concert in roma due saturday was cancelled 5 hours before it was due... i'm lucky that i'm living in rome and that none of my friedns from firenze came.... otherwise it would be horror.
it seems like who's organizing all of the aphex twin shows is managing things badly... this blog surprises me.
bad luck on the AFX
