First, regarding the recent "sold out" DJ Shadow appearance in LA at
Spaceland, you can bet that most likely the reason it sold out so quickly
was due to Hollywood insiders getting on the list in droves, more than
likely a lot of people who know nothing of the boy-genius' works previous
to Endtroducing were crammed in there, trying to look cool, drinking Jaeger
shots and talking too much, meanwhile I can picture Josh bust Furious 5 and
rare breaks off scratchy 45's....I hope for his sake that the crowd didn't
suck too much as that venue often coattails trends and trend-setters.
Secondly I'm announcing (ala Joe Rice) a limmited offer to IDMer's of two
mixtapes for (nearly) nothing, here's the deal:
TAPE 1: "60 [Minutes To Go]" an ultra-limited mixtape and originally Pt.1
of the -connect: freetape series, originally made to celebrate the recent

minutes, 5 copies have been printed up and will be shipped free (not incl.
