I'm not sure why they sent this Out. I've talked with three people who are personally involved in this show, Warp's website says all his US Dates are cancelled. They even moved Plaid up to the Top of the bill and tacked Slicker on the bottom. And from rumors of what I hear about his condition, He's probably not going to be able to leave the country any time soon. Neither the Metro or the Reader have updated theInformation, and i think it's eitehr trickery or incompetance in their part. I would seriously expect not to see mr. Ton Jenkinson there. But don't let that get you down. Plaid does a fantasic live show that will keep your ass moving all night long.

"Richard D. James" was far more cluttered than anything Autechre have even done, even EP7 and Confield. Most of Autechre's catalog of releases are pretty damn calm. Besides, they're not even comparable. They're both on Warp, and they were both lumped in with the whole IDM thing. They're both good artists, and you don't have to like both of them. > i always loved i care because you do . .. and still do. mabey you just can't appreciate anything besides his ambient work. i was the same way when i first hear RDJ album but then i grew to apprecite the amazing complexity of his music. its not just cluttered noise like alot of the 'intellegent techo' artists ie autechre and many opthers. i do love mu ziq tho. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I mailed sales at BADORB to correct my address and I had a very good communication! But I must say that the packaging suck ass, don't know what they think when they send vinyl in brown paperback envelopes! It's amazing that they arrive intact. Same with all CD I've received over the years only wrapped in brown paper without bubble plastic wrapping. Don't they have better jiffy bags in UK post offices?

Mark this day on your calendars >folks - the Orb list is now just another mailing list like any other... > >I blame Cydonia I'm going to go one better and blame Orblivion. :) I'm not quite ready to give up on the Little Fluffy Mailing list just yet: i think we all owe it to ourselves to uphold the reputation of Orb fans as being sensible people who keep it together instead of screaming sad abuse at one another (though i'm sure Richard James would get some sort of perverse kick out of knowing that violent arguments about him are annoying Orb fans). Badshit has, does and will pass - specially in places where flames and fights are a relative rarity because the contributing population aren't a pack of adolescent hotheads with something to prove. Flamers: chill yourselves out before you turn the little fluffy clouds into oppressive thick grey rainy ones, yeh? And at least if you're going to have an argument, have an argument about something Orb-related like.. i don't know.. Mick and Vic the terrapins instead of that strange AFX man. (Yes, the Orblivion comment was also a joke, though I don't really like Orblivion all that much - i hope you'll maturely let me to that particular preference instead of leaping on me savagely as though i just slandered your ancestors.)
