Mega Mix

Last night saw another installment in the, seemingly, never ending ‘Don’t Look Back’ gigs. Where artists present their most critically praised work live and in full. Personally I feel that gigs might have had their day, the public’s currently unquenchable hunger for looking to the past is starting to leave a nasty taste in my mouth. The notion that we need to look back is slightly worrying. Have we past the time where artists will create new and timeless pieces of work? Or do simply people long to recall their youth and cling to a “cool” past that seems to have gone forever?

However before I take permanent root on the Highlands of Moral, I have to say I couldn’t help be tempted by Raekwon performing “Only Built 4 Cuban Links”. Plus when I found Ghostface would also be playing I hastily shut my mouth. Maybe nostalgia could be a good thing?? I’m not going to be wearing a Beavis & Butthead t-shirt and quoting Kevin Smith films anytime soon mind.

Although it seemed Raekwon shared my original opinion. While playing a set that borrowed heavily from Cuban Links it was far from a case of “turn up, play the tracks in order, piss off”. With Ghostface in tow it seemed only right that they should cover a fair portion of the Wu’s back catalogue. I never thought I’d see the day when I witnessed an actually WU TANG MEGA MIX. Urrgh Mega Mix. The words bring instant repressed memories of bad weddings and stupidly crap parties. Like the time I went to a Engagement Party and the happy couple did a dance to lady in red. Obviously the bride to be was sporting a lovely rouge tinted number. Bad lady dancing reared its uncomfortable head tonight when several “honeys” were invited (pulled) on stage. The awkward moves on show here made me embarrassed to be British. If this was America I guarantee at least four of those girls would have been pole dancers, well maybe not four… But I bet they wouldn’t have wriggled around looking like they poo’d themselves before being ushered off stage.
