the word shite appears in this thread far too often & its all getting a bit too banal. Personally I would rather look forward to the "glorious" things to come in May...........

I like some noisy shit, but there is good and bad noisy shit. For various reasons I thought MM's weren't good, not because they made a noise, but just because I thought they were crap at it!

I don't think anyone was expecting some sweet pop symphonies and that is not what is being talked about here.

I'm glad we've cleared that up then...

and created two new noise sub-genres to boot

Kicking off in April with the Low Lows and Crevecueor tonight at Drummonds. Who, on record, have some rather glorious noisey bits.

I still have no idea how to spell it and they just 'showed' me by pointing at the poster in a Sesame street manner.

I enjoyed Magik Markers (as did my g/f who is not a 'noise' fan usually). I also thought they seemed fine folk, as were Human Bell, who I also enjoyed.

I didn't enjoy us,...but that was my fault for not asking for more gtr in the monitors, so that the other folks could hear it. (Not Scott's fault....he was doing a fine job in a stressful situation).

If someone's expressing their honest opinion then yes, I would be perfectly happy for someone to say we were "shite". Please don't call me lazy if I'm expressing my honest impressions of the gig. If I felt compelled to deliver a three-page critical account of it then I would, but sometimes just one word will suffice.

I'm acutely aware of this getting out of hand, and I don't want to antagonize people who I think are actually very sound. Suffice it to say that if I think something's shite, I'll say it's shite. I can't offer any constructive critisism because I can't think of any way they could do what they're doing differently and make it any better for me.

Don't be annoyed because I don't like the same music that some of you guys do, that's what keeps this world interesting! Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a rather verbose person, not overly given to brevity. So while I would love to say more, if the only thing I can think of after a gig is "shite" then that's what I'll say.

Jim, stop shit stirring...
