Massively Parallel Procrastination

I am *so* letting them have it in my Livejournal when I get home

I went to the Fischerspooner show tonight. I guess that I had mis-set expectations. They're not exactly the first synthesizer and tape loop based band I've ever seen live. I expected that the powerbook would be on the stage. Or maybe hidden away. I knew that most tracks would have a heavy pre-recorded component. I knew that the music was supposed to be a vehicle for their floor show. I did, however expect that we'd get live vocals and/or live synthesizer. Boy was I wrong. It was a dance show with snarky commentary.

I'm pondering cutting a disc with the album tracks on one stereo channel and the live show on the other. I'm not quite sure why. But at least I've got a number of samples of snarky commentary from the between-song banter to chop up and play with.
