lost in translation

a little over a year ago i went to this tiger translate thing featuring cyndi seui and reuben wu of ladytron.

i went to another one the other saturday. it was the big 2008 finale that promised thai indie heaven and new young pony club. @ old danneramid! the theme park of our youth! (now an empty lawn with a not-so-big fake castle)

dragged moses along w/ me and we met up with tippy. i missed nypc and only came in time for paradox, scrubb & flure.

tippy didn't miss nypc though!

but it was mostly this dark hot mass of not-drunk-enough fullness.

it got lamer when cops made them turn down the sound system.

so we decided the night couldn't be over and ran over to ekamai for happy monday. (which was then closed because electricity went out due to a nearby fire @ the yakiniku place) so in our desperation we ended up at JET.

pretending to have fun at jet. actually we were just drunk off the long islands.

lamest night in (recent) history. splat!

singing and dancing

so we went to see what it was all about



partied in singapore with the work kids
we spent one night walking around from bar to club to club
both nights ended in zouk zouk zouk! (and street food)



tektonik crew



discovered that as a general rule, you have to be immensely drunk or high on something to be able to take in the trance, or at least that's what i assumed the music was. i had a surprisingly good time indeed. wanted to keep going all night, like in europe.
