Saw Front Line Assembly & Skinny Puppy last night, first show I've been to since being laid up. Worth it, even with the wheelchair area three feet away from the speaker. Love me some cheezy politically charged industrial.

The Chennai December Music Season is steaming ahead (and my feverish cold is streaming ahead) very nicely, and doing a great job of keeping me away from the internet (Is this what they mean when they say, "get a life?" Whoa! Might be a good idea!)

My idea of staying in  a guest house right in the midst of it, cutting down the travel, is working well. The tablet is not really great for anything but basic browsing, and I don't have much time for that anyway (Hmmm... Maybe I did get a life!)

Average day: two concerts. Crazy day: six concerts!

I'm back home visiting the washing machine, and thought I'd drop by. See you all in 2015.

Steaming on now

Holiday over, and I'm back home, although there is still plenty of music going on the city and I'm out most evenings.

I took my small camera with me when I went away on 15th, and it tells me that I attended over 40 concerts between 15 Dec and now. Some I would have forgotten to photograph, and I forgot to even write down all the stuff from late November to mid-December.

The Music Academy Canteen became my favourite place to sit when I didn't have a concert to watch. I squeezed a whole year of international social life into a fortnight.

DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Renegades of Rhythm at the Forum London Wednesday 4th Feb.



Wow, what a way to kick off 2015. I'm going to have a hard time beating this gig. The Forum has a 2300 capacity and the place was full. With six turntables DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist to us on a chronological history of breaks and beats from the cream of Africa Bambaataa's 40,000 record collection.

They went from African beats, to latin grooves, to funk, to rare disco and everything in-between. On the way they would explain what era they were playing and it's significance. It was the funkiest lecture I had ever been to with people dancing in the isles. The second half kicked off with Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express then they mixed Yes's Owner Of A Lonely Heart over Kraftwerk's Tour De France. These guy's balanced a reverence for the music with having fun, never taking themselves too seriously.

At the end they played a selection of Africa Bambaataa's records including the only original acetate of Looking for the Perfect Beat before having a freestyle jam, cutting up breaks and inviting the audience to breakdance. Well it beat moshing. I have often left gigs early. This time I stayed until the very last break. For those who were into the B'Boy scene in whatever country you were in back in the day, you owe it to yourself to see this performance.

10/10

Yeah, it was fun. I just bought myself a vip ticket to see Run The Jewels in June at the Forum again.  I've got a feeling they're going to tear the roof off.

I finished 2015 with a Dhrupad veena recital in the evening, and started 2015 with a carnatic flute performance in the morning.

After the concert, I finished my December music holiday and went back home to wife, house and cat. Of course, there are still concerts. This one, two days ago, was a stunner:

Thanks, I might look this up. I have a soft spot for the experimental Hip Hop movement of the early 80ties and the B-Boy culture. "Jam On It!"

Who was the Dhrupad veena player? Who played pakhawaj accompaniment?

Inquiring minds want to know!
