Could someone tell me what time Panasonic come on? Is Trans-Am opening? I'm getting my frequencies mixed with a lot of people lately. Some said Panasonic opening for Trans Am, vice/versa. Any information/ reviews/insight would be much appreciated.. Pietro.

In Detroit, the ads for Friday's show (doors at 9PM) list Trans Am at the top and Pan sonic underneath (along with "Laddio Balacko Plus DJ On"). Anyone know what or who Laddio Balacko is? I get the feeling that I should be very, very afraid... .John. PS: Anyone know what's happened to Sean Cooper lately? Sean, are you still out there?...

Quick websearch uncovered the following. Apologies if the formatting sucks. Sounds a bit interesting to me... LADDIO BOLOCKO Laddio Bolocko consists of former members of post-rock legends Dazzling Killmen (Chicago), experimental noise band Panicsville (Austin / St. Louis), sax-injected Craw (NY) and Chalk 22 (NY). Note: Blake Fleming, the Dazzling Killmen drummer extraordinaire, can also boast active duty as Zeni Geva's (Tokyo) 'attack' drummer on their U.S. Freedom Bondage tour. In May/June 1998, Laddio Bolocko toured America, coast to coast (and back!), for 7 weeks. Laddio Bolocko is 4-piece instrumental band which formed in 1996. No sappy, macho front-men needed here to keep your limited attention spans from getting bored. Cross-pollinated rhythms, manic-prepared guitar work, jazz squall and tape loop madness are actively whipped into a relentless frenzy of sound. Comparisons to This Heat, Albert Ayler and CAN only scratches the surface of Laddio Bolocko's deep musical pockets. The band's structured music forms, written entirely by the group, give each musician an opportunity to freely 'express' themselves within each song. Greg

hmm. sounds like jazz. that's not an insult (i love jazz) but really, the only reason post-rock stuff doesn't get called jazz is because it usually doesn't involve horns. you'd think miles had taken care of that "if it's got a guitar it must be rock!" thing in the 70's. more-idm content: picked up the best of the orb yesterday- quite nice to have little fluffy clouds, toxygene and assassin all together on one disc. listening to the remixes disc now (somebody priced it like a single used disc!) which is pretty nice, not stunning. in the stunning category though: mad monkey record's enter the monkey. this thing is the bomb and a half. i can't recommend it highly enough. perfect variety: ambient, digital mischief, noise, cd-skipping, funky complex rhythms and more. every track has its own distinct feel, but they somehow give each other a context like no other label sampler i've ever heard. great efforts by a number of listmembers if i'm not mistaken. you owe it to yourself to pick up this record, and peep the full review in grooves #2 (plug plug). -rob
