jamie stewart live

[allison]

i'm so nervous about startin new threads oh well:

whats he like? what does this mean? should i go? will he play clowne towne?

(i'm tempted to go just cause his name is james stewart <3<3<3 original JS ah which reminds me theres a james brown who goes to my school lolllllll)

after my queation(s) are answered this could turn into a xiu xiu love fest or something dunno so i ts not a complete waste of space.

[hark]

There's loads of live videos on youtube, if that's any help.

Is it him playing solo or the whole band?


also: ohmygod I love xiu xiu so much. *fan girl squee*

I'm afraid of Jamie Stewart, godly as he is. Sophie & Plan B have taught me that he is quite prone to hissy fits and spontaneous walk-outs. As well as blowing out the amplifiers. But then, for some people, that's what rock and roll is all about, eh what eh what eh.

I think you should go. I bet it'll be memorable, whatever happens.

[hark]

Gigs with hissy fits are always slightly awkward but amusing.

That Plan B tour diary was pretty much the best thing I've ever read.

Hey, Jamie once got a blowjob off a drag queen on stage when he was younger, maybe you'll see something similar! Yay!

Agreed. Especially the "I am fucking THOR" bit.

Laura, you're too cool for your years.

Uft, you're far too kind miss Meryl. I'm actually proper rubbish.

My favourite part wass the part about Ches wanking onto Jamie's face, but I am crude.

The blog on their website is also great:

" we start today to mix our next record with greg saunier from deerhoof
i think it might be called "seperation" but we are not sure
we are working very hard
we want to make a work of art. so what, you fucking lazy asshole what are you trying to do with your stupid
life."

"fuck oakland
i fucking hate this towne
to kill oneself in oakland is redundant"

"IMPERIALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEVIN HOFF HAS JOINED XIU XIU
HE PLAYS WITH NELS CLINE, HOWARD WILEY, BEN GOLDBERG AND CARLA BOZULICH
ANGELA SEO MAKES HIM UNCOMFORTABLE AS HIS PREMIER TRUE FAN.
I DONT MIND.
WE ARE HAPPY. VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS
DAVID IS IN ICELAND
CHES IS IN AUSTRALIA
CARALEE IS IN SAN FRANCISCO
DEVIN IS NEW YORK
I AM IN BERLIN
XIU XIU RULES THE WORLD AND WILL BE DRAWING
UP TOTALLY ARBITARY BORDERS
WITH NO REGARD FOR LANGUAGE OR CULTURE AND
WILL BE AT THE ROOT OF ALL FUTURE GENOCIDES
FOR THE 22ND CENTURY.
NICE JOB DEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There also used to be a message about Jamie wanting to attach his arsehole to his chest so you could "finger [his] butthole and touch [his] heart" which made me laugh like an idiot for a good hour at least.

I love La Schwee Schwee.

its him solo. would it be appropriate to take my father?(fahtersday gift etcetctec). i have seen xiu xiu live: tres fab; how will this (JAMIE STEWART SOLOOOOO) bedifferent?

[hark]

Is your dad into Xiu Xiu? Woah. To be honest, I would imagine that would be akin to watching hard core porn with your grandmother ie. Awk-ward!

I think when he did solo it was mostly acoustic stuff. It might be a bit different now, what with all the different songs etc.

[allison]

yes, my father likes xiu xiu... he was the one who brought it up in the first place. we sort of have a different errr cant think ov another word relationship, he's kind of young to begin with and then he never really grew up and he likes much of the same music i do (although perhaps it's really vice versa)... infact we sometimes run into each other at concerts and that is strange (and embarassing, depending on who's been doing what all evening). he took me to see patrick wolf and based on previous experience with xiu xiu it they were no more shocking than childcatcher, alors. we will be going, for better or for worse.

thanks all.
