THROBBING GRISTLE

Porridge's lyrics currently consist of two people getting a return ticket from Wolverhampton for £12

have you heard his collaboration with Merzbow? about half the lyrics are about how stupid and worthless you (the listener) are

beats are there to be broken http://musicindevon.org/

currently up to IRCD22 YMCA, London

TG are playing individual "songs" and the audience claps politely at the end of each one. It sounds really weird.

Finally coming to the end of TG24. As the CDs get later (i.e. 1979-80) they get less and less interesting. TG now play "songs" with little spontaneity; Porridge shouts and postures; the lyrics are 'meaningful' (i.e. meaningless); the tapes are derivative and obvious; the relationship between performer and audience is politely appreciative rather than confrontational. Basically TG have turned into a rock band. It's not surprising they packed in the following year.

it's time I listened to these again

The real question is can you do it this time in one sitting

listening, no trouble
it's the staying awake for 24 hours that's difficult

Mmmmm I listened through all the Throbbing Gristle I have today thanks to this thread. Yum.

heh, that's what I meant.

I don't think I have enough music by any single artist that would last me an entire day.

this week, i'm kinda obsessed. its the thought process that intrigues me. thee extreme alternate reality.

the creation of your own universe, completely your own reason / sense of being, etc. etc. its a freak show for sure, i guess that's what is so alluring about it.

i watched this yesterday.

will watch later

Saw Chris & Cosey earlier this year in Chicago.
Pretty impressed by the show.

really digging this 10"

that's pretty good

currently going through TG24 again

most of the early CDs are good, especially:

disk 5: Live at Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, 7th May 1977
disk 11: Live at the Architectural Association, London, 3rd March 1978

and in the second half:
disk 15 - Live at Cryptic One Club, London, 11th Nov 1978

but now I'm up to disk 19 and they're just going through the motions, being Throbbing Gristle the "rock band", playing the "songs", a vehicle for Porridge as "rock star" – all quite boring really

Actually disk 20 – Live at the Guild Hall, Northampton, 26th May 1979 – is quite good too. Probably because Porridge is lower down in the mix.

now up to disk 22 - Live at Butlers Wharf London, 23rd Dec 1979 - and they've started to prat about with trumpets

disk 23 - Live at Fan Club, Leeds, 24th Feb 1980
Cosey & Chris are doing a sex talk routine and some guy has just shouted "boring!"

too fucking right
