various people wrote: lots of stuff about Kit Clayton
I've been thinking about his set, and I think that I would have
liked it a lot more had it been prefaced by something similarly
downtempo to get me in the mood. As it was I was distinctly in head
nodding / shuffling feet around almost dancing mode, and in addition
I was talking to a couple of cool people at the time (go ahead, kill
me - the music was so loud we weren't bothing anyone, I'm sure).
To give you an idea of his set, I turned to Sonic D and said "it's
like the sounds of pixelated whales". This is usually a good thing,
except that a) I like analog whales more and b) dropping said while,
either bit-mapped or regular, into the middle of some rather beat
oriented stuff was sort of odd. I guess that it makes sense not to
have put him on after Pole, since then more people would have left
and the bar gotten less money, but it would have made more sense to
me to have John Tejada and his wonderful mother on in Mr. Clayton's
slot, and him on after Pole so that the night kinda chilled out and
people could listen intently. Instead I was just too excited to be
watching everyone to sit still and *listen*, which is what his set
cried out for. Shutting my eyes a few times did help, of course.
Well, just wanted to add my two tangential cents into the matter....
