Tortoise Orgasm

Today i did not manage to play any halo 1/2..... was damn busy fighting "fire" at work and was also trying to rest my hollow head for tonight's tortoise concert at the esplanade... i was totally looking forward to it.... finally one of the crème de la crème band from the city of chicago pays us a visit... it is truly an honor...really...

i took 2 pain killers this morning to hopefully contain the slight flu-like consciousness in my head... my colleagues must also be thinking.. why... there is a water buffalo in the office today... i was pleading to be very well for the concert and also for the prata run the next day.. thankfully at 4pm, i was still denied the opportunity to catch a glimpse of dr michael fung...

meet wifey at wtc, had a quickie bite at splizza's.. phuck up service if you ask me... maybe because we only ordered a 8" pizza, a soup and a lime juice between the both of us.. what is wrong with this indian girl ? i phucking abhor this... hopefully the indians serving the prata tomorrow will be better...

we got to the esplanade concert hall 6 minutes before the show began... a lady's voice boomed from the overhead speakers "ladies and gentlement, the tortoise's concert is about to begin in 6 minutes time, please make your way into the concert hall now. late comers will not be allowed inside after the concert begins and will have to wait for the break before being allowed in." .. i stopped to look at the band's cds.. 30 bucks per piece... i only had 1 of them and there were 4 on display...sigh.... i am already pretty broke.. wifey had commented that my "savings are very low"...during the ride there.. must be those lousy soccer bets...phuck..

anyhow.. i took my distracted eyes and moved along with the mass.... "indie" events are still attracting quite a crowd...... the young.. student-like... beauty-cool girls and the longhaired bandboys...the music industry people.. can't be sure that i can term this an indie event after all it is part of a jazz festival... but tortise isn't really jazz is it?.... saw many people that i had mild acquaintances with in the past inside... felt like back in time for a moment... my sit i await in, with anticipation like a schoolboy going on a first date..

the observatory opened the show at 40 past 7.. leslie now spots a goatee with his jesus christ hairstyle.. the band also has a new drummer to spice things up... looked like abdul nizam from the nonames i muttered to wifey.. it started well for them, a tight affair to begin with.. they played a total of 4 songs from their new album i think.. 2 of the songs sounded much like the church.. leslie had always liked the band.. subconciously ingrained? the gallery people on my right applauded loudly throughout...there was no encore when they concluded.... i walked up to stage to commend on their performance..the break followed and the muscians worked actively to unplug and plug their stuff... it is time.....

the lights were dimmed, tortoise took to stage.. cooly...there was no introduction.. the 5 of them went straight to their instruments and started playing... the sounds that emitted..whoa.. just blew my mind... and probably everyone else's as well.. on the background was a super large screen that flashed complex patterns and electronic art forms.. the 1st track..there were 2 bass players..cool i thought.. and when the song ended, one of the bass players went to play this instrument that looked like a electronic xylophone.. as they played on, it was like musical chairs on stage.. there would be 2 drummers on certain songs and there would be 2 bassist on others... the keyboardist would go play the drums and the drummer would go play the xylophone like instrument... the band members just took turns to play on different instruments...phew..... the coolest act i have seen in a long while... i can feel it coming....and music that they created was unbelievable...the wall of sound created by the synthesizers, the keyboards, the double drums, the full bass and the free jazz guitarist was simply orgasmic...when they played their 2nd last song...i was propelled to my edge of my seat, head bobbing......man...give it to me one more time !!!

we refused to leave after the last song.. the crowd stood its ground and just clapped away... after about 5 mins.. tortoise came on again!...man......i am like a little boy tonight..just fed endlessly with sweets....what a night! their set continued for another good 20 minutes....... i left the concert hall most happy...like a boy who got his sweets and then his 1st frenched kiss... the exuberance i felt...i can't describe.. whoa.. i sounded like a broken record later throughout... can't help it man...

Sheer Brillance
