Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

audiOh shitalmost forgot about Janek Schaefer ("Sound Artist, Musician, Composer and Architect"). A man who has designed a 'revolutionary' 3-armed turntable which renders anything you put on it ear-bleedingly awful.

I sat through an hour-long performance where Janek put records on this thing. A full hour of atonal shrieking and feedback - every so often Janek would change the record for a new one and the sound would stay exactly the fucking same.
turntablists with cymbals? they've nothing on Janek
