sorry to hear that people had bad experiences with some of the
tobin/sharp/mmmorris shows - the one in DC last friday got three thumbs up
from me, even with the drive from NC and back. amon tobin went on at
midnight, followed by sharp (1.30-3) then mixmaster morris from 3-5am.
all were highly enjoyable. amon tobin played what sounded sort of like a
kool keith track - the acid was just starting to come on and I couldn't
quite place it, the lyrics seemed to be in a kool keith vein but the voice
was different. any ideas? maybe roots manuva (never have heard any). I
enjoyed jonah sharp much more than I thought I would, he did some nice
things within the bounds of a steady pulse, even some electo/vocoder-ish
sounding stuff. when mixmaster morris was done people were lying down on
the dancefloor. there were some djs from cream in the main room, but I
only ventured in there for a minute or so. $9 admission too. some guys
from cloudwatch were supposed to be spinning ambient(?) outside on the
deck, but couldn't get a PA. what's up with that?
