Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Matthew Herbert has done an entire album about the evils of the modern food industry, featuring songs such as "THE TRUNCATED LIFE OF A MODERN INDUSTRIALISED CHICKEN" (apparently "all live percussion is made from a dozen organic free-range eggs, egg boxes and egg cups and played with chopsticks by leo taylor")
He's playing all this live at the Barbican (the Barbican!) next monday.
I'm going.
I can't wait.
I live in North London.
