No, that would be pitiful too
The fucking record would still be available in the morning. After a good night's sleep.

Oh I think that would be fun
You're dying to hear the new material by your favourite band. You stay up late, you burst through the doors, you listen to it as soon as you get home. I can relate to it that way. Pulling an allnighter is in itself something that makes you all gigglesome. Add to that something you think is amazing, like gig tickets or an album, or one of those hobbit films, it's an occasion isn't it. A day you'll remember. And a manipulative marketing ploy to boot. Oops!

The sight of a queue
of blithering spastics lined up in the West End with sleeping bags and Thermos flasks, or adults dressed up as characters from Harry fucking Potter, makes me want to weep with despair. I can just imagine the conversations sparked up between these gimps...

'We've come down from Rotherham for this, haven't we dear?'

'Oh I've done this for the last three films'


A mixture of ghastly forced cameraderie and awful jollity, all run through with an insidious undertone of competitiveness.

No, no, no.

We became an agent
for Ticketmaster a few years back, and last year the 'T in The Park' goons set up a mini refugee camp outside, the day before the tickets went on sale. Arrived at work the next morning and the street was FILLED with rubbish, empty bottles, cans, discarded camping chairs etc. A total fucking mess.

So, for their freezing night on the pavement, they ALL got tickets, however the funny thing was, we still had availability several days later...Stupid cunts.

There are people who would use similar scathing terms for us
Spending our time talking to people on the internet. And what would 'normal' folk think of the premise of a B3ta bash? Let everyone get on with what they want. Maybe I'm jealous. Maybe I wish I had an obsession.

I have loads
I really do. I understand the mentality - but I also deplore it when taken to its public extreme. It makes me cringe.


EDIT actually I disgree - intelligent or humorous human interaction is pretty easy to defend. Particularly when compared with sending your wife away and shunning your friends in order to play a computer game. Aged 38.

Thank your lucky stars you didn't direct this at the old Daniel O'Donnel women
They'd have found you and killed you by now. They are the scariest thing I have ever encountered. It was 3am. I was drunk. I was trying to be friendly. Fucking hell they interrogated me. Why was I passing, what did I think of Daniel, had I come to make fun? I was just trying to get home. I mentioned my mate's mother. She's big on the camping-out-for-Daniel-O'Donnel-tickets scene. Knowing her was what saved me that night...

A close call
Escaping a shoeing from a coven of tone deaf bog trotters.

*shudders*


I think people who go to see a band wearing that band's t shirt are gay. 'I'm such a big fan I've got a t shirt - I like them more than you'. Worst still are those who turn up at the show, go and buy souvenir shirts and the change into them there and then. For the love of God, WHY?

Well, i must admit to being guilty of wearing a bands t-shirt to one of their gigs.

HOWEVER

There was a very good reason for it. Went to a Faust gig in Glasgow a few years back and wore my 'exclusive' embroidered 'x-rayed fist' (the cover of their first album) Which was only available to a tiny amount of people on the Faust List. Got there, and told them i was on the guest list, because i was, they checked but no mention could be found. Luckily the singer from the support band, Ectogram, was standing, she pointed out my t-shirt and told the woman at the desk that there was no problem and to let me in. So that was the one and only time.

I usually wear my old Krautrock t-shirts such as, Can, Neu!, Faust and what not, to raves and clubs and generally get folk coming up for a chat. No dirty young ladies though :(
