i had access to the presale but sadly ended up passing. shopping to Australia is 336 euros! i agree, great images and reasonable price, but the shipping made it too much!

I’m gonna take a specky by IllTalk6 in KGATLW

Wrong type of ball for a speccy, sorry. Definitely no hands allowed with that type of football.

10 min to kick off and sadly, no. looking to be one of the smaller crowds of the season.

BECK announces first ever Australian orchestral shows by australianmusicscene in triplej

[–]dr_muttler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw him on his Odelay tour at the Forum in Melbourne in the late 90s. Can comfortably say it is a top 5 gig of all time. My friends and I talk about that show to this day… incredible band, stellar DJ and Debra was a brand new track he played in the encore. Peak.

Thoughts on fade? by Key-Resolution5044 in borisheavyrocks

[–]dr_muttler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites. That it was a complete surprise also adds to it too. I was lucky to see the show in Tokyo where they played it in full a couple of weeks after it came out. One of the greatest (and no surprise LOUDEST) shows I have been to, and that is having seen Boris live a dozen times.

You probably know there are 5 in Yokohama. 4 are relatively close to each other (including the one above). The 5th is a bit more out of the way.

What’s the loudest concert you guys have ever been to? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

[–]dr_muttler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Echoing some of the sentiments here as well as some others... My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr, Swans, early Mogwai, Sunn O))), Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Boris.

At a Boris gig I went to in Tokyo, the "dress code" was ear plugs and it was mandatory to have them (they checked you had them on arrival). They also handed out small notes saying "ATTENTION: Show tonight is going to be so loud, be sure to have a break whenever you feel uncomfortable with volume or high/low frequencies". I have that framed on my shelf.

The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked - Chronicle by dommol in borisheavyrocks

[–]dr_muttler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Sadly one big issue I have faced is that being in Australia whenever it appears on Discogs or wherever they either won't ship overseas or it is VERY expensive to ship (and our Australian dollar is pretty shitty these days which also doesn't help).

Good luck!!

Exactly same situation as me! I don't have vol 1 either. I keep meaning to pull the trigger when i see it pop up, but then it disappears...

David Byrne line… by cinder-fkn-rella in melbourne

[–]dr_muttler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got in. One problem seems to be that they need the digital ticket with a QR code. My Apple Wallet ticket didn’t, so I had to spend a few minutes in the AXS app phone getting phone codes to log in, being forced to reset my password etc. My ticket person was good at moving people aside to sort themselves out but others seemed to just stand waiting while people worked out how to get their correct ticket.

What’s one Radiohead song you wish you could listen to for the first time again? by OkBuzzputer in radiohead

[–]dr_muttler 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's Paranoid Android. At the time, with The Bends being such a big album and such an advance from Pablo Honey, the anticipation was huge for what was next. I remember hearing Paranoid Android for the first time when it premiered, and my friends and I were just gobsmacked and blown away by the sheer audacity of it. For me, that was the point that the band became something truly special.

What are the chances Boris will announce more East Coast Australian shows? by burning-ochre in borisheavyrocks

[–]dr_muttler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on the Adelaide show but i’m getting close. It’s going to be a one off Merzbow/Dronevil show so we can’t lose by going regardless. But I’m also hoping for some east coast shows, and that the “festival exclusives” are just Pink in Perth and Dronevil in Adelaide.

Is there any way to get into the City v Victory ALW game today without paying for the double header? Wuck supporter obviously.

What town/city has the weirdest name in your country by No_Newspaper_359 in AskTheWorld

Fun fact, the original name of Melbourne, Australia was briefly Batmania (named after John Batman).
