Boileroom, Guildford
For the regular readers, please may I draw your attention to the new disclaimer above: the Borg Diaries do not necessarily reflect the opinions of a band as a whole, which has been added after my irrational disillusionment of the Synergy gig.. by all accounts it was a huge, exciting show for us, but this is a diary after all, and everybody has days where they really don't feel like going into work.
This month, for the first time in about 3 years, Subsource has no longer been an obssession and it's taken this long to realise that it has been. It's a strange feeling now that it's NOT the first thing I think about when I get up, and to not feel guilty about staying up working on stuff for the band right up until I decide to sleep. As a result, I now have loads of spare time where I'm bored as hell and I'm having a huge crisis of identity whilst feeling utterly lost. I dunno, are obssessions always unhealthy?
Back to the Boileroom last week for another show, supporting Warren Suicide (above), who were pretty cool. Paul's had a lot a few broken/lost pieces of equipment this week and probably wasn't sure about letting the guy use his amp.
"Hey thanks for letting me use your amp"
"No problems"
"You know you'd better check it wasn't sounding right towards the end"
(silence)
"I think it might have broken?"
(silence)
"I was a bit worried when I saw the flames"
(silence)
"That's when I pissed all over it.. to put the flames out"
Above: Boileroom crowd. In all of my Subsource non-obssession, I forgot to do an e-mail out for it so I'm taking the flak for the room only being half full. I mean half empty, I'm supposed to be a pessimist right?
Spinal Tap Moment: Somebody's knocked a beer over some electrical equipment/wiring whilst setting up and about a minute into a heated argument over who's beer is still standing, somebody realises that a beer has been knocked over some electrical equipment.
Lotsa people saying they'll be there at our Glastonbury slot. The excitement builds.
