Sinister: Terrific, but not competent

[Paul_Clarke at xxx.uk]

     Don't read this if you're a sensitive sort... Oh, that's everyone 
     isn't it...
     
     Bah Humbug, etc, Saturdays gig was SHITE.
     
     I had a truly grate time, and when the band all got it together, they 
     were good, and the atmosphere was lovely, and the drink was slowing, 
     and there were some quite beautiful and friendly people there, but the 
     band were ARSE...
     
     Their "oops, we're playing the wrong song, at the wrong time, in the 
     wrong time, on the wrong instruments, in the wrong venue, aren't we 
     just so bonkers and eclectic" is not really that clever at all... And 
     90% of the audience applauding and laughing politely every time the 
     band messed up was one of the most embarrassing and cringeworthy 
     spectacles I've ever witnessed.
     
     I can respect the band's decision not to do interviews, or TV, or many 
     gigs, it's their ball, and they can play the game however they like. 
     BUT if they're going to be taking large wads of cash off their adoring 
     audience the very LEAST they could do is not take the piss out of 
     everyone by being so incompetent...
     
     Things were good again by sunday night, I hope the sunday afternoon 
     gig was good too if people travelled a long way.
     
     ObFoppishness: It was snowing once, and I saw a fox, and it was so 
     beautiful that I shat in my hands and rubbed it on my face. Is that 
     how it's supposed to go?
     
     It's been "nice", think I'll unsub any minute now, cheerio... Nice to 
     meat and drink with some of you in Manchester, thanks for the mug and 
     letting us into the club for free to the respective people...
