It was the first Can album I heard. Funny thing about Delay is that it did nothing for me when I first heard it. A few years later hearing Father Cannot Yell changed my perspective, and it is an essential listen. So i had a delayed reaction to delay. The Velvet Underground influence is much more obvious than on later recordings. I recall an event at manchester cathedral at which 2nd Gen played an abortively short set and Add N to X began to slide where Andy Votel played almost the entire Delay album between bands. He later did a single with Mooney.

Hilarious! Funniest thing I'd seen all week It got a bit irritating by the end. I observed many funnier things in the last week, including: Last night reading the Butthole Surfers chapter of Michael Azerrad's book, I laughed so hard I had an asthma attack and had to skip to the slightly more serious Fugazi chapter. At the ICA: Gilbert asking to do Germ Ship after they'd just played it (well it was a fine version). Colin's excessively chunky shadow on the ICA wall, juxtaposed with Bruce's exaggerated refracted skinniness. Lewis sobbing 'I Don't Understand!' Lewis in the bar afterwards. At a friend's party after ICA, talk turned to the Evil Blue Thatcher. An old friend remarked that he'd seen her on TV nodding out in the middle of some fetid speech. Imagine the spontaneous street parties on the day she finally keels over. Mark Wallinger's backwards blind Angel escalating to heaven at the Tate Modern.

A very immobile audience. Malka was videoing it from the Lewis side, and someone else did likewise from the Gilbert side. From 1st Fast on I was right down the front. Had a slight wiggle to Art onwards, a lady of probable Mediterranean extraction in front was writhing about quite sensuously, whilst her probable boyfriend just grinned ridiculously. During Lowdown & Pink Flag two large bald blokes began pogoing, knocked everyone flying, dropped their coins and wrecked the pointless crash barrier (which was in the way, so hats off to them). The barrier was replaced by servant of con temp art during Drill. However it never seemed likely that a stage invasion would occur. Who would dare jump on a stage with Lewis on it? During Comet I felt like I was flying up to the ceiling for an aerial view. Colin looked right at me as he sang, 'coming this way with your name on it.' Pink Flag and Drill were astonishing and Lewis made some massive effects noises for PF. Drill was once again cut to shreds and filtered anew, with the 12XU mantra recited amongst various half lines by Colin. Gilbert's guitar spot at the end of Germ Ship seems in a constant state of rebellion - flux or error? Whichever the brilliance of it seemed more apparant. Bruce might have been a bit out of his head at the end of it. "Shall we do Germ Ship?" he asked. "Er, we just did that," replied Colin. The worst part of the evening was when Colin turned to Robert and signalled the Drillend. It seemed like Lewis & Gilbert could've gone at it for hours. Pink Flag also seemed like it might like to grow to the legendary 15 minute version (which was the original plan for the RFH event). I'm sure it was the longest version I've heard them play. After Pink Flag the crowd roar was deafening, and even though the quiet dub started up as background, Gilbert eventually strolled back on, followed by Lewis carrying bass and Newman & Grey. I could do with a bimonthly Wire event now.

The Gryphon reference is interesting though, cos weren't they the medieval band that was on Magpie once. And Gentle Giant definitely had a a bit of a medieval thing going on at times...They were generally compared with Genesis though this was more a case of lazy journalism due to both names beginning with 'Gen' than any musical connection IMO (though latter day 45 Turning Around was a belated attempt at getting a hit single with a Genesis like effort) > They were always great favourites of mine.Still are.

Come on Keith! You can tell us! I have been in several bands with crap names over the years. These have included: Sensoria (spot the Cabs influence kids!) E-space (supposed to be E-Space as in a ravey-drug kind of stylee...but oft mistaken for the one of Alan Partridges favourite vehicles, the Renault espace!) Lime (my shoegazing years!) The Hot Davids (?!) Fonda Magic (I've no idea what this was about) and now I'm in Kids Indestructible. I never learn.
