carl craig fucking blew the doors off everything.

susan were you over by the coat check or what??

i still have to say that we've been bringing lots of shows that other venues have been passing up in the past, and the events have been selling out in advance or selling out at the door. so, i know the venue's not perfect, but i think it's better than most other venues in town. the only place with good sound is the End Up, and of course various low capacity art venues. also, i think sound at the End Up is really only good in the middle of the dancefloor.

what do you think would make Mezzanine better?

i actually thought the sound was fine but i tend to spend most club nights about 2 feet in front of the speakers with my earplugs in. not much stereo effect (which sucked because it sounded like what he was doing w/ "slave to the rhythm" must have been amazing) and not much freaky high-end but other than that it's cool.

also, the stuff w/ 'slave to the rhythm' happened in new york too, and it was fucking SICK and INTENSE. i think that was the only point when i screamed for longer that a 'wooo'.

lindstrom was nice in ny, but he just tempts every song for so long that you just wanna grab him and tell him to get on with it. i've had to face the fact that lindstrom's my doppelganger - that's bizarre enough in itself to see the faces he makes when tweakin' his ableton.

I think he is correct. I hope villalobos goes pop like that more often in the future.

girls like minimal

haha N@TE THAT IS EXACTLY what i thought when i saw dude

-- henry s

same number of chords (four) which is not uncommon but not all the same notes and slightly different sequence ('Pacific's highest chord is the second of the four whereas IIWII's highest is the fourth and final one)

(geddit?)

I thought the sound was great. it was loud enough to get lost in but my ears didn't ring at all the next day. maybe that's because i'm in advanced stages of tinnitus, i dunno.

i thought lindstrom was great, but the comment about taking to long to get to the point is spot on, i think.

and carl craig did actually blow the doors off the club. i saw it.

xxxxpost

He totally looked like a boblehead doll (i would buy one).
I liked the show but it was more like some sort of a prog rock show and nobody really danced until he played i feel space and contemporary fix. even though they were dancing before.

also carl craig is a ridiculously good showman, he didn't look at the crowd or even move for the first 30 minutes or so, but then when the string break came in on his exclusive version of "in the trees" he finally looked up at us, and then he brought the drums and synths back in super loud and started bopping to it ... incredible!

An eight-year-old dolphin named Shadow mysteriously died after being exposed to two days of techno music at a waterpark in Switzerland. The park was the venue for a weekend-long dance event, which exposed the highly sensitive marine mammals to nearly 48 hours of repetitive beats. Several days later, Shadow became agitated and died. While there is no way to prove a direct correlation between the two events, animal activists had warned park management that the noise from the event could cause undo stress on the dolphins who call the park home.

“We have reasonable evidence to suggest that the extreme noise levels from the two day techno party severely affected the immune system of the dolphins,” said Jürgen Ortmüller from the Whale and Dolphin Protection Society. “Dolphins are very sensitive creatures. We warned against a techno party taking place in this location for these very reasons.”

Park officials deny any wrong-doing. Shadow was the seventh dolphin in three years to die at the park.

TECHNO KILLS DOLPHINS

The Christopher Rau album from last year is really good!

And you live in California, v. I'd certainly rather live in Santiago or Berlin before Cali-fucking-fornia.

So nothing to do with the massively shortened life expectancy of dolphins in captivity then?

misread this as

minimal activists had warned park management

or perhaps you are responding to my ironical statements with meta-irony by interpreting them as earnest?
also, you seem to know little about california, i would gladly take norwalk, san jose or rancho cucamonga over paris, rome, london ... yes, even stockholm, i would take norwalk over stockholm.
