Blue Skies Turn Pink

...and Thomas Von Party turns 25 ! Come celebrate with us at Green Room tonight. You don't have to pay to get in, you get to meet exciting & weird new people, and hear some nice grooves, hopefully !

The Legendary Pink Dots are at it still - after 25 years, they deserve a celebration ! That's exactly what they're up to with the 25th anniversary tour. They stop by Montreal tonight, at Cabaret. Ed Ka-Spell will cast his spell on your ass.



I remember the days where I was an avid industrial fan. I would discover a band, do my best to get my hands on all their releases, and then learn about every goddamn member's side projects - only to try to collect them all before they vanished. Some new names would come up, and the process would eternally repeat itself, draining my finances, sending me on the verge of madness.

That's how I discovered the Pink Dots. Edward Ka-Spell's voice.

Later on, I really got into the Twilight Circus Dub Soundsystem's drugged-up grooves. Especially after I saw him open for the Dots at the end of the 90's, right here in Montreal. I have forgotten almost everything about this show, except the fact that I went alone, because nobody that I knew at the time was into the band, or even heard about them in the first place.

Which hasn't changed in all these years, surprisingly ! I had almost forgotten about the band's existence until I saw their show advertised in the Mirror a few years ago. What kind of strange, twisted trick is my mind trying to pull on me here ?

I saw Miike's ONE MISSED CALL for the second time yesterday.

I'll tell you more about all these boiling hot topics tomorrow as I have to run now. Time is a notion that can easily be distorted and some tasks here at work tonight fucked with my brain. I'm fried & dried - need some fresh air.

Signing out - but not for too long.
