Fabien Giraud et Raphaël Siboni Last Manoeuvres in the Dark
Part of the Superdome exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo Paris, Fabien Giraud et Raphaël Siboni’s Last Manoeuvres in the Dark. Each Darth Vader mask is equipped with a microprocessor connected to a central computer to give an artificial intelligence system developed to work out the darkest musical hit of all time pretty cool.

I saw Tom Waits last night here in Paris in the Grand Rex an old style theatre (not unlike the Olympia) and he was just incredible, it really was a show of a lifetime. For what it’s worth my video of Raindogs taken from the cheap seats. If you’ve got tickets for Dublin next week you won’t be disappointed, it’ll be worth every penny.

My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine live at Zenith Paris on their reunion tour, I don’t normally bother with reunion tours but made an exception in this case. They pretty much delivered what you’d expect including an extended noise-fest finale that would of made John Cale proud and a spinal tap-esque arguement with the venue about turning down the amps and of course it being France everyone was given earplugs on the way in (rock n roll!).
