Sorry about that, I'll go get some deo or something. Nah, seriously, what I really mean is that Leicester's eclectic electronic arts bods Stench are back out and about for a fifth night in the fair city. Seeing as last.fm events seem to be broken at the mo (at least for something at a venue it doesn't already know about, anyway) I guess I'll just ramble on in this 'ere journal about it. This one's a collaboration with Myoptik's PVC clubnight and electronica collective The Centrifuge with sets from

Baked Beans N Brown Sauce Is Wrong.

It's almost as bad as that Irish movie where those guys put brown sauce in their tea, isn't it? Brown sauce is for pork products and pretty much nothing else innit.

Oh yeah, err, music and stuff and that. Finally made a new track last night for the next Digital Vomit comp - bit of a departure for me seeing as it's actually over 2 minutes long and under 150 bpm, although it sounds just as irritating (if not more so) than the old stuff, no worries on that front. I really ought…

Nah, I'm actually only going to day 3 of Download - maybe it'd be a good idea to split festivals up into one listing per day? On the other hand, maybe the listings are already chaotic enough…

..I mean HOW S-L-O-O-O-W does it go when you're trying to reorder tracks? What pish. OK, it's probably partly my fault for being such an ADDtard, but c'mon…

Pity really, as it's not a bad idea, just needed better execution.

Kicked. Fucking. Ass.

Any questions?

…it's pissing it down out there and I have CDs to return to the library. I just wanna stay in and pump my fist in the air to Melvins, dudes and dudessez. And maybe have some soup. FUCK YEAH!

So, I Still Remember comes on the radio earlier and I manage about a minute before I can no longer suppress the urge to yell "DEBAASSSERR!" over the top of it…or is that just me?

…to 'sing' along to Max-era Sepultura without copying Max's accent, just a little bit? I'm not so sure it is.

Phwooooar!

I mean just look at it. No, not my entry-level, belt-drive turntable. I'm sure some of you audiophiles will be quietly seething over that, but I'm a man of modest means and needs.

I should mention at some point that it does have music on it. It's the African Pirates remix 12". The Troubleman mix is a lovely modern take on Afrobeat, whilst JD73's is more of fusion-with 80s synths affair. Not stuff I listen to a great deal of, but very enjoyable from time to time. NoW are very good live, too.

Right, firstly I'm not gonna rag on the guys, 'cos they weren't bad and are just doing what needs to be done in this kinda town, but I'm just gonna stick a couple of things in here just in case anyone in a rawk cover band happens to see this and is willing to take advice from somebody who can't play one tenth as well…

Do not play Sweet Child O' Mine too fast. This is the thing that really inspired me to write this crap, 'cos it's certainly not the first time I've experienced this phenomenon. Why do bands…
