Well, that was a splendid racket! The triumphant return of Cabaret Voltaire, absolutely pounding proto-techno. Only took me 45 years to see them live.

Shiny new iPad Air, my venerable 1st Gen Pro having given up the ghost (my positively ancient iPad3 still fires up, the little trooper!) Installing my favourite synth/sampler apps while taking the opportunity to tidy up and leave a whole bunch of also-rans behind.

You see? That’s exactly the kind of anti-Instant Whip prejudice I’m talking about! 😆
Nope, both made with milk. But from memory Angel Delight had a milder flavour and creamier texture I did not care for. It was always the more robust Instant Whip for this young connoisseur. 🧐

Such has been the response to their return the Cabs are doing a final, final (?) tour next October that includes the Barras. Can’t quite bring myself to shell out for tickets that far into the future though, so next week’s gig might do me.
Glad you like the Dust stuff!

Swapped the LP in my album frame and realised that I had painted my little studio cupboard the exact same shade of green as the first Furs album cover.

Poster for a spot at an alternative cabaret night at Cumbernauld Theatre, early 80s. A blissfully short set of a guitarist pal playing through my Korg MS-20, I’m crouched on the floor twiddling knobs while another friend reads poetry. Completely unrehearsed. We were just as confused as the audience.

Something worthwhile actually started emerging from a Friday night noodle. Nobody is more surprised than me after a protracted dry spell.
