Hello f(r)iends, <<Stars As Eyes: I saw them about a year ago and their set is a lot more dynamic and interactive. Didn't pick up their new CD but the new material sounded great, esp. the song with vocals.>> When I saw the Tigerbeat6 tour in Austin, I liked Stars as Eyes' instrumental songs MUCH more than the ones with vocals. The guitar parts and lyrics sounded almost Dr. Seuss simple, and on one song, the guy whined like Mark E. Smith with a bad stomachache... <<Numbers: They rocked. They are doing a sort of New Wave Revival thing -- think B-52s, Talking Heads, filtered through sort of a White Stripes aesthetic.>> I personally think that Erase Errata does Numbers' shtick a WHOLE lot better... <<Cex: Full disclosure -- I have personal and professional ties with Rjyan, so I'm biased, but he's really turning into a consumate entertainer.>> Cex is the shiznit...his skills as an MC and beat-maker are getting better by the minute, and his stage banter is hands down, the funniest and most engaging of any touring act I've seen this year. Yr. f(r)iend Sean P. np: Dudley Corporation "The Lonely World of..." _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Fuck the new wave revival - Numbers (omit the The, although I would say I love The The) are punk as fuck, super fun and don't wear trash bags or use an electribe or have wack dancers - their drummer (a female, and sings/shouts/busts out "oi"'s through the whole thing) is the funnest drummer ever - and will annihilate any misgivings you have for various punk/nu-wave/electro revivals almost as fast as you can say to your girlfriend "I hate this retro shit, dammit, let's go fuck to Fyuti." Seriously. This is day 2 of my idm-list-pro-Numbers strafings and I don't know any of these folks. Don't sleep. No wait, sleep until I got tickets. Ok I got tickets, go back to sleep. Stay tuned: Watch for my pro-Numbers rant tomorrow night and I will tell you how kick-ass their keyboard player is. Or how they make all kinds of people pogo and shit and generally go off. Also - Cex (not really deserving of an also) will basically blow you away with his originality and energy ... He can rap, sing and work the crowd for sure - look up his live mp3 sets for the real fucking deal!!! I have pointed people to his live stuff and they're like, "Who is this guy, he sounds fucking amazing?!" And at the same time make you think you can bust your own hip-hop shit - but you can't !!! Ha ok that was cruel, I wish I could rap personal sexual encounter rhymes for the world to dance to without them throwing eggs ... But seriously - he's worth seeing - especially considering his infrequent touring of the west coast. Boooya. Fuckin a. Cex is the bomb. I can give this glowing review because I got my tickets for Bottom of the Hill. Take that, IDM LIST!!!
