I saw him in baltimore and was underwhelmed. he was doing a sort of gothy-thing, perhaps a goth-a-hop sound, and it was kinda boring. I saw him in minneapolis a few years ago and it was fantastic -- he was freestyling, had good beats, and the overall vibe was great, even with a non-reactive audience. In Baltimore, it was him screaming during songs and the banter between songs was all "him" and not so much about trying to actually talk to the audience. meh. -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
