THE TITLE IS NO JOKE. JUSTICE YELDHAM, A TERROR OF THE 00S LIVE SCENE, PERFORMS TWO SHOWS IN SCHOOLS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD (NORWAY, WISCONSIN). THE BASIC PREMISE OF YELDHAM'S STUFF IS MICROPHONE EXPERIMENTATION IN CONCERT WITH PERFORMANCE ART. NAMELY: HE STICKS A DYNAMIC CONTACT MIC ON SOME GLASS AND SCREAMS INTO IT. THIS CONTORTS HIS FACE AND EVENTUALLY THE GLASS SHATTERS, OFTEN IN HIS MOUTH. IT IS GNARLY AND WEIRD. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE PUT RECORDS OUT THOUGH.
THE OTHER THING HERE IS THAT EACH SIDE IS RECORDED DIFFERENTLY, ONE ANALOGUE, ONE DIGITAL. BUT THEY'RE NOT WILDLY DIFFERENT TO BE FAIR. AND CRUCIALLY THERE IS NO PERFORMANCE ASPECT. IT'S JUST THE WHIRLING AND SWOOPING AND BRIPPING OF A GUY SCREAMING INTO GLASS
THAT WE CAN'T SEE. I SORT OF WONDER WHAT THE POINT IS BUT I DIDN'T DISLIKE IT.
I SORT OF SEE JUSTICE YELDHAM AS BOB THE TRAY FOR THE 00S. LOOK HIM UP.
