I'm going to the ae show at the El Rey on May 19th and I had a couple of
questions. Would you suggest a person who would actually like to listen
to the music and not just hear the bass wear earplugs? I ask because
they're kinda silly and uncomfortable.
Also, does the El Rey have a bar? Can you smoke there(cigarettes)(And
before you say anything, I only smoke when I drink)?
I was thinking about dropping three hits a little while after ae came on
stage, is there any place nice to trip around the El Rey? Perhaps a
pleasant campus to explore? Being LA I don't suppose it would be wise to stroll about a
park in the middle of the night.
PEN EXPERS kicks ass!!!!
quick review
Meat Beat Manifesto - Actual Sounds and voices: I don't know if you could
call this idm, but its kind of a fun cd. I'm not much for big beat which
this is a little bit , but this is also kind of jazzy. I don't think there
are enough quality tracks that are actual full blown tracks. They often feel
unfinished. Quality, but not something that has enough to offer to
distract me from Confield, and not fun enough to distract me from stuff
like Clarence Park and Agony. It might sound like I'm dissing this
cd, but I really apreciate the jazz on it. Side note: Its on Reznor's
Nothing Label, which is nice, along with Autechre, Squarepusher, and
overplaid. Oh, and anyone know where that acid again clip comes from?
Orb also used it on the Little Fluffy Cloud track. 3/5
LENTIC CATACHRESIS kicks ass!!!!
