i'm sure most people in the crowd were like "who the fuck is this old hippie?" glad to see them out in public.

GET OFF THE STAGE!

Fucking boring windbag.

i think ole Jean Michel Jarre got a MOJO as well

two of the biggest fallen ego's in electronic music getting a little boost again

haha

Aw. Bless.

tough crowd.

the last video i saw of fsol (i think it was him) was him nearly driving a proselytizing christian into a heart attack.

yeah that was funny shit.

Everytime i see him talk, i want to destroy the hardware its presented on.

I like Jarre's rant more

hippie-ass sitar-ass garbage-ass

I think it's the only time I've seen an acceptance speech get an encore, ha. It's good to see them getting recognition, anyway.

So much hating around here

FLOL

Fair play to him, poor old Brian though...

Read the Nathan Barley thing, and was wondering where did that come from....then opened the Mojo clip. I think you nailed it!

Love FSOL...but no denying that in the pantheon of complete and utter arseholes they are very near the top.

What's Brian Dougans ever done to make him a complete and utter arsehole?

not told him to shut the fuck up when he's too busy making the all the music

I use to think Gaz was an insufferable prick, but time has proven him to be a truly eccentric loon. I love the guy.

More importantly: The Bubble compilation is epic. The Yage album is truly insane, and Environments 3 is a classic.

Thing is, yr average Mojo reader is such an intolerable ass-backwards rockist cock that anyone who winds them up (and in fact, sends them up in such a gloriously off balance way) gets my thumbs up.

thats a good point as he knew exactly what he was doing however I've been told MOJO are brining back the ole shepards hook for next year or quite possibly a small Rancor for under the stage

Guilty by association.

The comments I never liked were the ones quoted in Simon Reynolds in his book Energy Flash, when they (well Cobain again, but talking on behalf of both)used to sneer at other ats during the rave era and comment about how could churn ot that music if they wanted. Perhaps, in fairness to FSOL, Lifeforms EP and the album are my favourite works ever and no denying their genius. But Cobain seems like he out-arseholes Bono in the arsehole stakes.

I think Brian just lets Gaz get on with it, there's no denying he gets the band attention and he knows how he comes across, I just don't think he minds.
