I don't go out and see bands anywhere near as much as I did a few years ago. I put this down to spending money all too frequently going to see fairly insipid and uninspiring bands, with audiences full of dickheads. now i guess i'm residually offput, so if I'm ever tired and swilling about something, like Friday's gig, I'll often just pass up the opportunity and return to my laboratory. These days I tend to make time for the gigs I really want to go to, and then, (gasp) comme si par magique! it always turns out to be a good night. Maybe a negative way to look at things. Maybe not, as instead I spend most of my time in my 'workshop' constructing robotic manbeasts of the future - an army of enchanting hybrids of flesh and metal - and getting my feet rubbed by my boyfriend.
