Nothing, not one thing in this world has been at one time been both a great motivater and kept the human race back like fear. Its forced countries to both start and stop wars. Caused people to both gain and loose their faith. Kept you from talking to that certain someone because rejection is a horrible thing or talk to everyone because you don't want to be alone. It is amazing that such a feeli...

And so if, like me, you missed any of the recent performances and were curious, some beautiful concert-goers have made postings to YouTube. A simple search of Throbbing Gristle 2009 yields a few pages of short and long clips posted by these kind souls. For the record, the additions grow.
