Well, given that he swore off touring last year after Ravestock(tm), in a
way it's not surprising. I'm more annoyed that the preliminary info provided
to us by the local promoter simply stated "Bjork/Aphex Twin". If he's DJ'ing
I wonder why he doesn't go by "Richard James (Aphex Twin)" so as to easily
differentiate between him playing and him DJ'ing.

Well, if you had been on the SoCal-Raves@UCSD.EDU list at the time, you
would have known ahead of time *grin*.
On the other hand, he did DJ a pretty amazing set if you could set aside
your disappointment at him not playing his own material ...

Actually, according to Joe Babylon, that was a Kinaesthesia white label he
played, not his own stuff. I don't know if RePHLeX actually ever put that
out, however. (Joe?) Hard as nails, though.

Blork. Well, here we differ ... ("If I wanted vocals, I'd ... ") Maybe I'm
the only person who doesn't find her or her recent seemingly-bandwagon-jumping
Techno-esque forays something to get all that excited about? (Admittedly I
have only heard a few tracks from the last 2 albums, all of which were vocal
stuff. No remixes)
