I guess he just doesn't give a fuck anymore. Makes me sad though.

I guess now, if he makes any ill-advised gig choices to play shitty festivals, we can just blame alimony.

;_;

I hope he only plays Come To Daddy and Windowlicker then closes his set with white noise and heavily edited scat porn.

Maybe throw some 4 in there.

Should be clear by now surely that he likes to play for whoever has the large amount of cash to pay for him

Nothing new in Aphex land!

He could be a lot richer though.

Check the story in the Warp Records book when Beckett booked Richard on some promo tour of the USA when Windowlicker was gathering momentum and Aphex was going to be huge. He didn't bother to go because he decided he'd rather go on a picnic!

With one hand he gives a middle finger to commercial gain, the other is an open palm. Brilliant attitude in my opinion.

he's on graham norton next week..

That would be fucking ace, lol.

Pitchfork has been repping him, giving him lots of hipster bro-jobs within the past year. I can't remember their specific examples, but they seemed to want their love for Aphex known.

And now he's at their fest. What could this mean...

New album. BNM'D with a review more gay than the one for Kid A.

Edit: I'm all for this by the way, it's a good omen...

Yep, AFX is a Pitchfork Band now. Fuck im

no, it would be awfully shit! amazingly, awfully, shit.

I can't like AFX if other people like him.

..when he cut off all his hair i stopped liking him as much.. he lost all his powers.

but he grew it back, so is he regaining his powers? will have to wait and see

new album lol

tits or gtfo. i ain't goin' to no dance unless i can rub me some tit. i don't need some gig halfway around the world where he'll play mark broom tracks as if they're unreleased aphex.

I don't know why you guys hate so hard on pitchfork and hipsters, there are far worse things out there.

i hope you did not mean me. my comment had nothing to do with pitchfork whatsoever
