if you book weird minimal producers, wouldn't it make sense to play vaguely related weird minimal tunes beforehand?
i felt this way too - it's like all the DJs before and after Matthew Dear had nothing to do with Dear's style. the other DJs sound was pretty progressive, electro shtuff, and Dear came in with some classic minimal techno - it was almost like ADD and AFE were doing a "tribute to techno: special night" type thing where they "invited" a techno DJ.
don't get me wrong, i had a smile on my face the size of Utah all night, and I danced my knees into a frazzle, but the music could've been better. is all.
and i don't understand why it's so difficult to get the whole door/price/hour thing right. am i illiterate? doesn't it say $10 before midnight? if i'd known, i would've taken my time and paid $15 a little later... just IRKS me. aren't people wearing watches? just don't advertize a price at all - then charge what you want! but don't advertize and then contradict - that just makes you look bad.
the crowd was fuckin wicked - you kids sure know how to have a good time. nice to meet asha, geminigirl - we drooled over Mr. Dear together.
*moment*
anyone know what happened to the speakers at the end of Matthew Dear's set? he didn't seem impressed... ended the set quite abruptly, i thought.
