Well, the Herbert live performance as Radio Boy in Detroit was simply stunning.on top of literally bringing the roof down, he graciously brought along 1000 copies of his CD to hand out for free after his set. I find this really impressive considering how much positive talk he's been getting lately and how much people seem to love his tracks. To not only give away his intangible creative efforts, but to also pay out of his own pocket for physical production/packaging/distribution when he could easily have sold this commercially says a lot about his credibility, beliefs, and ideals surrounding the project. This may have been posted here before, but in case you've missed it in the past; you too can get one of his new Radio Boy CDs by simply sending a SASE to the addresses below. I mean hell, look at that, he even set up multiple addresses around the globe so folks don't have to pay crazy shipping. What a guy. I'm in no way affiliated with his camp, just an excited fan who wants to make sure others like me get an opportunity to check this out. Enjoy!

Ironically, this is one of the "caveats" to many electronic musicians: the venue is probably going to rain dust and other particles from the ceiling directly into your gear :D it's actually a pretty decent arguments for having a minimal setup. I am pretty sure, though, that if the place actually had loose tiles containing asbestos and lead, it would've been condemned LONG before it was approved for music shows :D just a blurb derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Hey.. this is the first one of these comparisons that hasn't sucked (mine included).
