I feel that maybe a small clarification to my previous post about the IAMX concert in Stockholm is in order, especially after the comment added to that particular post.

I agree that it is a shame that the event turned out like it did, because I did enjoy the show (what I saw of it) and I do enjoy their music. They are also the first band I’ve seen that interact with their projections (which I guess plays a part of the spectacularness). Personally I’ve never seen this done before, it was a cool touch!

The reason I flipped so much about the timing is that I’m a bit of a time keeping fascist myself, and I get terribly annoyed by people who don’t handle other peoples time with the appropriate amount of care. I guess that when you’re an artist/band and have the power over hundreds of peoples time this is even more important. An even more personal reason behind my bad feeling about this is that I’m beginning to suffer from a bad knee, and standing still infront of a stage waiting for the show for more than an hour isn’t really working magic for it. Another reason for these bad feelings is that I had to get up at 05:20 the next morning in order to go to work, so delaying the show for more than an hour meant that I wouldn’t see the whole show – i.e. not being able to extract the full value for the money I payed for the ticket.

All these things added up turned out to be a bummer for me. But who knows, maybe I’ll be able to attend another one of their concerts in the future?
