Plaid in Paris
On September 17, we left Bruxelles for Paris mid-afternoon, and after checked in at Hôtel Bellevue et Chariot d'or (located on Rue de Turbigo, near Réaumur Sébastopol and Étienne Marcel stations), we headed to the impressive Centre Pompidou to see Plaid live!
I've been a fan of Plaid since about when their album Rest Proof Clockwork was released in 1999, and this was the first time I had a chance to see them.
I didn't expect it to be a seated audience, but since we were a bit tired we were happy not having to stand!
They had cool video on a large screen, including some text in English and Japanese, fast-forward images of news during the Iraq war, and also they had a cool robotized camera in the middle of their stuff showing images of them at work.
Plaid's new album Spokes came out on October 18 in Japan.
Lately Warp records are doing cheap Japanese releases through Beat Records, making import copies (usually cheaper than Japanese releases) about pointless. I wish this could become the standard.

I was at London IMAX Cinema at Plaid on July 20 2005. It was incredible! Many things played from new DVD 'Greedy baby' and old are too.
