Band Aid

A must read from Neil Kulkarni on Band Aid 30

Hey, they're not making it easy for me to get behind this. I think part of the problem with Band Aid, both in its original 1984 incarnation and its new re-tooled 2014 version, is the utter fucking horribleness of everyone involved. If we're being forensic then we could blame Michael Buerk for starters. Michael Buerk's currently making 150 grand for appearing on a I'm A Celebrity, and could last week be heard on the open turd-strewn sewer that is The Moral Maze defaming a victim of rape. It was Michael Buerk who helped break the Ethiopia Famine story in 1984 and at that time, he had a choice as a journalist, to represent the famine and suffering as an act of nature or an act of politics. Fatally, as he continues to do, Buerk chose to treat us like idiots, giving out a totally simplistic and false portrayal of the situation that inevitably led to simplistic solutions, a headlock of simplicity that's endured ever since in most reactions to 'third world crises'. A 'famine caused by drought'. A 'biblical famine'...

Black Cab at Melbourne Town Hall

Well it was a spectacle for sure. Utilising the organ at the Town Hall looked great on paper and certainly was interesting live though not helped by the swimming pool acoustics of the venue but I think they made a few new fans if the after gig sales of the new CD are anything to go by. It was just a real pity that it was only a half hour set. All in all not one of the best gigs I have seen by them but you have another chance when their album launch takes place at Howlers on November 29th to witness how powerful they really can be live

So what about Tangerine Dream I hear you ask? Well fifteen minutes was all I could handle...you know I am going to have a problem when our asshat Lord Mayor digs them. Really do think that a Black Cab/Oneohtrix Point Never double bill would have been more up my alley. But hey looking on the bright side I didn't smell any patchouli oil, oh and Edgar, Melbourne is actually in Australia not New Zealand.
My thanks to Andrew for putting me on the door last night and James it was a missed opportunity to wear your Phantom Of The Opera Mask
