“It is with regret that we have taken the decision to cancel the one-off Napalm Death performance in collaboration with our ceramic artist in residence Keith Harrison on Friday 22 March,” reads a statement from the organisers.
“This was due to take place in the Europe Galleries which are currently being refurbished and a further safety inspection has revealed concerns that the high level of decibels generated by the performance would damage the historic fabric of the building.
“The V&A is committed to an exciting programme of exhibitions and events but the safety of our visitors and building remains our priority at all times.”

The Fall - still my favourites, still the best. Nothing will ever change that, not even a support act so free of a motif of their own the last 20 years of recorded music was pillaged until the frontman of 'Big Unit' couldn't decide whether he was Ian Brown, Shaun Ryder, Bez or Joe Strummer. In his head he was all at once, and hopeful nobody in the crowd would recognise he didn't have one original idea to rub against the next. Never before have I seen a band get through a set on force of will alone, but when your song titles amount to 'Get Fucked' and 'MDMAmazing', you know pure front is the only thing going for a troupe so derivative I can barely remember the great Mark E Smith at all - except he looked like a 1000 year old ghoul at the back of a reincarnation queue having a better time than could be expected. Adoring looks to his keyboard playing wife, supportive gestures to his umpteenth guitarist and handing over of the microphone mid-song to a punter in the mosh-pit with a 'you think of some lyrics then' testament to that.
7.5/10.
Chris and Cosey - just back from what must be, apart from when Eamonn Holmes and his dearly beloved fumble through another episode of 'This Morning' on the brink of an on-air divorce, easily the best thing I've ever witnessed. It wasn't house or techno - more an insistent music that didn't grow old the more it remained similar across the whole, much too short set. For just over an hour they made nothing else matter. I saw Mark Moore just as we left and my mate assures me Marc Almond was bobbing around, but none of that impacts on one of the finest nights I've had anywhere.
125.6/10.

The Melvins were excellent last night, you felt more than heard the drummers. I've never been to the Electric in Brixton before but that is just about the best music venue I've been to in London. Just the right size, not too crowded, decent view and the sound was amazing. Looking forward to round 2 tonight.
Also, this guy must be the inspiration for the Jared Warren's on stage look.

The one thing that struck me was how good the sound was. Mika Vainio was mind-meltingly good as well and used every inch of those F1's, really physical stuff. A proper life affirming night of music.

I thought it was a bit more Wagnerian ... particularly with the drawn out Melvins-esque operatic death scene during the last ten minutes ...
Jared "Brünnhilde" Warren ...

The sound was excellent - loud, crisp and clear. No damage to my ears immediately afterwards or now, and I spent all night at the front.
I wasn't familiar with either support act. Of the two I preferred the second guy, wearing a hat. If he was Vainio, then agreed. Interesting landscapes compressing my mind. C&C killed him though.
Really fucking great night and I'm itching to hear C&C live again, but Milan in a few days is a bit of a stretch. If it was viable I'd be there in a second. If you happened to see a guy wearing one of superprecise's yellow Lucky 7 t-shirts, that was me.
