Wow. Kreidler tomorrow at the Esplanade Studios, Luomo and Farben next week at Zouk as part of an electronica festival. The last two in particular would be a coup to be trumpeted even for glitch-capital-of-London the ICA. Every time I start getting bored with Singapore it does tend to surprise me with things like this, bless it.
The next question is whether I really want to go. First, I don’t know anyone else here who’d be interested. And while I have a certain geeky interest in seeing high-cred music types live I’m not all that sure I’d enjoy it much if I was there alone. I don’t find house music absorbing enough to be listened to as foreground music, and microhouse is even worse. I can certainly tolerate it and sometimes even enjoy it (albeit on a somewhat clinically detached level), but not if the beat’s my only friend there.
BENNY! I MISS YOU!
Ah … you know I would’ve gone to see them with you. I actually missed them in KL cos the day they performed was actually my first day at work, and I couldn’t be arsed to rush for an 8 pm gig after leaving work at 7. Bloody hell, even Farben’s in Singapore?
I would go.
Kell: Yeah, but are you going to magically appear in Singapore next Saturday night? Good to know though – will drag you along to these things when you’re stuck back here next year!
Benny: It’s a pity you missed a good gig, but in the circumstances I’d probably have said ah, fuck it, too. But don’t let that continue – it would be a pity to abandon music geekhood for IT geekhood! :P
