True, but those shows were nice , we always get to see the artists once in Ottawa, they never come back. But then again,nothing is publicised , for example nobody posted on the list that this show was coming , no posters on the streets, only a little article hidden in the X press. Form my point of view i tought the set was great but i had not heard much of his stuff before. You are right about the rumbly sound but it gave a sort of physical reaction to the music wich was a bit aggressive at times but engaging. As for his reaction to the crowd i can totally understand him. The 20-30 people that came out to see the show sat on the side so from his position , he was playing for like 5 people and half of them left halfway. I guess he could've been nicer tough , maybe he was mad at his promoter for having him play this dump :) How about that dj that started , i'd give him points for originality but what kind of music was that??? off topic: Do you have any info on Knurl that played with Merzbow , is he from around here?? I really loved his set, wouldn't buy it but would like to see it again , the performance is really worth it. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
