The reason why everything was perfectly in synch was (if you had read my
earlier review of EBN's show a few days ago) because all the guy was doing was
PLAYING A FUCKING VIDEOTAPE.
ITS A TOTAL SHAM!

His shows vary from show to show. He certainly has the skills to rock a house
if he wants, but most often he does not want to.
BTW, Did anyone see the "Apology" for DJ Spooky in the Village Voice a few
weeks ago? It said that people don't give him respect because he's black. Then
the guy went and called him the "Basquiat of the turntables"! Oh, I see, he's
the Basquiat of the turntables simply because he's a black guy with dreads in
NY? Gimme a break. The guy missed the point. I don't know anyone who doesn't
respect Spooky except for two reasons: 1)They don't like his music or 2) They
find his pretentious rants intolerably and inexcusably nonsensical. I know a
lot of people who find Spooky tiresome and none of them are racists.
