	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	It's a stellar line up... I wonder if they recorded together or was this a one off?? Posted by PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 16:41 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	mark	one off. most likely at the world music awards by the look of it Posted by mark on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 17:21 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	Why has there never been an electronic supergroup??? Posted by PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 17:25 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	mark	genrally because the type of people who make good electronic music are quite anti-social Posted by mark on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 17:26 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT WHY IS THAT SO??? I'm going to do a feature on this phenomena soon.... Posted by PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 17:32 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	mark	well from a social angle it makes sense. good electronic music, regardless of whether it can create an emotional response once finished, is mathematical and very structured in the way it is created so it suits o.c.d. sufferers and emotionally detached people. with the live element of the music removed essentially all you are left with is just the music and no performance. there is no bravado in the creative process so therefore it suits people who love music but don't like the crap that has to come with it. insular people who don't want the limelight.

	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	But this clip shows that electronic music can be performed LIVE so why haven't more people gone down that route and explored it further?? I'm liking the way Hot Chip have transferred that 'band' structure to a mostly electronic sound, also my current faves the stars have a huge electronic element to their sound and they do a SHOW... There'll always be the moping boys with laptops but i see that changing more and more as the technology shrinks and becomes more easy to preform...

	Sah Rah	I'm confused...... Is one supposed to find that clip funny? Only...... I did! I laughed so loud I didn't just leak, I prolapsed! The 80's hair! OK, I have composed myself. I did rather like Thomas Dolby, wish I could say the same for Howard Jones. I still get the feeling I want to punch him and mess his barnet up!

	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	You can find it however you like... I found it entertaining and a bit like tag team wrestling...) Stevie and Herbie just about managed to stay in the realms of the cool, but the other two didn't.. Howard Jones is a strange one. I don't know much about him at all, but i know the name...

	Paloma Pirate	I watched this with my mouth open. This is awesome!!!!! Posted by Paloma Pirate on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 21:20 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS	Well to start with i was thinking it was a parody.... And then as the names were announced my draw dropped and it kept on dropping... Posted by PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS on Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 21:24 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Emily	Thomas Dolby definitely was going for an Amadeus look there. Posted by Emily on Monday, July 23, 2007 at 03:23 [Remove] [Reply to this]

PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS

For sure. He's always been one for the spectacle and image which as disgussed above, is pretty unusual for an electronic musician..... Posted by PAUL GIOVANNI 3RD : AKA : FUTUREPROOF PIOUS on Monday, July 23, 2007 at 10:03 [Remove] [Reply to this]
