Cue robotic cries of "No disassemble!", Ally Sheedy's terrifying haircut, that weird actor who was pretending to be Indian and of course the universally terrible Steve Guttenberg....

Anyway, the real reason for this post is not about the eighties film 'Short Circuit', but about the festival of the same name. Which happens over a weekend (14th - 17th) in May at the Camden Roundhouse. I've already blogged about the Touch night on the Saturday (16th) which has Biosphere, Philip Jeck and myself amongst others. But Thursday has Can's Holger Czukay playing live, apparently kicking things off with a homage to Stockhausen before moving onto unheard Can material as well as his solo stuff.

Friday night is taken over by Barcelona's Sonar Festival, no idea of the line up though. The festival draws to a close on Sunday night with the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop. We're most excited by the prospect of a live performance from the electronic pioneers. Get. Your. Tickets. Now.
