Went all over on this one. Crowd favorites : Boymerang, AFX, Sympletic, K+D,
Fusion. Odd stares : Woodenspoon, Schematic, Req. DAMN CARL CRAIG! Intro to his
Kairo Remix was so long, that there was a good minute of beatlessness after _Flu
Man_ had ended. Argh. I'll never do that again. I wore my [recently discovered]
Aphex Twin mask during the AFX track. Got a few laughs out of that.
DOT tracks rule. Thank you PJ. Hab remix especially. Do yourself a favor and
track down the new Dark Comedy material from Kenny Larkin. Some of the best
Detroit techno since, well, since his last album.
Anybody know anything about Schematic? I picked up a 4 track EP yesterday.
Nothing on the sleve save for silver paint; nothing on the label except silver
paint. Really odd, abstract electro bleeping and burping. I'd like to know more.
New Orleans residents - prepare yourselves for a weekly This is Fun! event at an
unnamed venue on Decatur St this summer!
