Its akin to some pleb walking to and fro infront of a 20 foot cinema screen with a great film on... small and insignificant, but like an itch you cant scratch and you just want him to sit the hell down !!
I got quite a good shot too - check out my pics page

Well, hello happy, happy people...
Definately check out the link above - the one where I'm quite adroitly (however you care to take it) keeping my obvious intrusion of an arm aloft, whilst sitting down - I mean: "golly umbargo! But, lo! Hold on - I can hardly see the rest of the stage, for that arm-waving twit!"
Yeah reet.
And where do you get off attacking, slandering and bad-mouthing people, perticularly calling me a 'twerp' for the love of Jeff, despite the fact that the amount of people we'd want to be interested in and involved in and excited about and childishly idiotic about (dancing with C64s as guitars...) the Bit Live Project, people who make the scene, for what it is - what it is, people who buy the CDs, still play the games and could probably kick-your-ass-at-any-single-C64-game-ever-created-apart-from-the-ones-he-hasn't-played-madam-McCaffrey, these people, who don't start taking the blatant rise out of others because he fully knows that to be still interested in 80s computer games is to be viewed by the masses as crap. To know the end sequence to Spellbound (again - for what it is) is to be ridiculed by his contemporaries and immediate peers. A chap who is fully aware that if his girlfriend knew he wasn't on MSN Messenger trying to attract new ladies every night, but rather playing Paradroid - attempting valiently to mind-sieze a 713 with his 001 on that nasty, little deck near the top of the first ship getting disrupted like a good 'un (and you know what - people who think having a passion for something that's not what they have a passion for, well... there's words for people like that... (and none on this board are that.)), a person who, if we disected his knowledge of the old Commodore scene and sliced it with a Commodore machine we'd be in serious War Games trouble(ne). Have you ever played yourself a tic-tac-toe and lost? Neither have I.
A man who finished the day - The Bitlive IV Brighton Bonanza Day with the words:
VICTORY WENT TO THE FREE!
And it frikkin' did.
Walking along the seafront back to the domicile where people slept, machines rested and alcohol awaited, with his demented mole of a brother running up to people (and by this I mean -
everybody), feigning the uppercut from IK+ and shouting "PAPAYA!"
Matrix. Please...
Get off it.
The music these chaps have made, remade, mixed and mixed:re is without a shadow of a doubt - truly amazing, be it 80s original, 90 remix, or a bang up-to-date stomper. I love it.
I've listened to these tunes for ever and a day and if I choose to stand, solitary, with like-minded mental-dancers glancing around me, the thronging tunes of Hubbard, Galway, Gray, Dalgish, Tel, ALL OF 'EM mixed up, churned into a gooey paste and spat into my serene visage, as choreographed nuances, melodies, vibes, borgs, rhythms, beats, basses and butterflies flutter by my mind - then I will. And I'll continue to do so until I'm ill.
And you know what - next time - I
am gonna get everybody else doing it - because respect is due to these people and that is my salute to them.
Al.
Only one man could save the world and he was dead. Again.
