Synth City
Rob Harvey
Well,last week was my first week off work this year and surprisingly it was relaxed, though I didn’t do the jobs about the house that were needed, nor anyone else. I think I spent too much money and brought things I don’t think I really needed, so I think my next week off needs to be a bit of a planned week. Talking of plans, I do wonder sometimes how artists plan their releases and gigs sometimes, as I’m sure there is a Soft Cell demo or bootleg doing the rounds and not a real release single- Or maybe is a gorilla planning for their next tour. Also, gig-wise, I noted the Heaven 17 two-night specials on two classic Human League albums way too late to get any tickets, so I will sulk now.
Chatty bitwise, This is not the first time I have missed out on one-off classic gigs, and so I wondered what interesting gigs did you miss out on and why?
Still, no point crying over missed gigs when you have great new tracks to enjoy, as we heard this week, Volker Milch – Color Theory – Zoodrake – Shiny Darkness – Gulvoss – Debby Grupp – Retrograth, plus a few classics artists, remixes and current favorites.
