hello
hiya
up late? :]
I just got back from playin that show
oh really? :]
it was fuckin crazy
while I was on, these two people decided they didn't like the noise I was playing, so they told me to turn it down
my buddy went off on em, it was hilarious
hehe whatd he do?
swore at her a whole lot, told this girl to make him a sandwhich. just pissed her off a bunch
hahahaha whatd she do take off?
we were laughing so hard, it was awesome
she took off after that
how many people were there? hehe
eh, scattered amount. it was weird because it was a bar/cafe type place, so people could eat too and sit down and stuff. maybe a hundred or so
I pretty much reached my goal of making people go nuts from it, so mission accomplished
kewl how long was the set?
I played two real short sets. the first was like downtempo hip-hop stuff, and I decided to pretty much do an all noise set for the second, they were both maybe 15 minutes long each
what is your gig aka?
huh?
what do you go by?
oh, either Target Market Research, or "Frank Becker, American". I'm not sure which I was tonight cuz I never saw the poster
hehe.. did your label hook it up then? whats your labels name?
a couple guys that put on experimental stuff did it. the label is History of the Future, but they had nothing to do with it
in chi town if I member right? no...
minneapolis
ahh yes. did you play with anyone else?
yeah, 4 other guys dj'd. its a monthly music thing called the Polar Bear Club, where basically everything goes. I was the only one that played live
nice. were they impressed? want to see ya again?
oh of course! well actually I know all of em so they knew what was coming
I'll definately play more of em
kew kew get paid? get layed? hehe
no, didn't get any ladies tonight. damnit
got some money comin to me, don't know how much though
did you sell any mechandises there?
I was going to, but then I saw it was like some shitty pseudo hipster hangout, so I decided not to.
I would have been secretly chastized by half the people in there if I tried to sell something probably
hehe.. thats too bad
yeah, when I got there I was worried because it was a weird crowd, people that weren't quite hipsters, but were trying
definately not a noise/breakcore crowd
is there one?
yeah, there is somewhere
theres actually plenty of people that like it
thats neat-o-keen™ coz theres barely house n trance here, being the biggest
so what kindve effects did you have goin while you played?
well I just had a roland 505 and a cd player and I mixed the two
any audio video stuff dancers or such?
no
someone was supposed to have a projector or something, but forgot it
ahhh. plus it was a restaurant so it wasnt that neccessary eh? I mean ppl had stuff to do :]
not really. people were eating and stuff. and dressed up. ugh
so what are you doing up at this late hour?
trying to get on good terms with my lady :\ did anyone dance? what style ? mosh/ up n down/ 4o4 hehe
hmmmmm....over IM?
yeah its really hard
no real dancing going on. someone mocked my noise by silly dancing to it, so I threw something at them
hahaha.. did you kill em
nah, just gave em a minor concussion. they deserved it though
hahaha.. careful you can detach a retina like that I know get your gear sued right off your ass
I wish I would have detached a few retinas
LOL
I think the owner of the place got pissed too
it was a pretty good night
did you throw something at him? thatd explain it
no, just the mock dancers. bastards
:] when is your next gig/where/etc
nothing lined up yet, that was kind of my last in a string of em this summer. give it a few days though, I'm sure something will come up
listenin to any music?
that bogdan unrealeased stuff is ass kickin good, this jungle guy thats from here called kokigami is awesome. he's making stuff he should be famous for. venetian snares has a new cd that fucking insane, I've been listening to that a lot
do you like charlie brown
I like the charlie brown samples in kid koala's demo tape
hehehe yeah. I got a rok
I got a ro....i got a....rock
that rules
I saw him not too long ago, he was wicked good
hehe yeah. really? I hear live is much better
yeah, it was much better. he was going full on the whole time. that boys got skillz like mad
heh. the whole carpal tunnel syndrome? plus he has a slew of remixes eh
I haven't really heard any remixes
well I mean.. skratches!
ah
collaboratives n such. Im sure he did some new/unreleases stuffs? just coz he had it
not really, I pretty much recognized everything he did. it was mostly off the demo and carpal tunnel
did he link em together? oh. how long was it?
hour and a half. maybe a little shorter
damn thatd be fun
it was really cool
best show I've seen in a long time
I saw DJ shadow and cutchemist do their 45s for about 2 hours together, before that just shadow for about an hour :] that was my fav. crazy
holy cow! where did you see that
I saw shadow too when he was here
eugene, oregon where Im at. they said it was the second time theyd ever done it together
did they do that whole brainfreeze thing?
(the 45s) yeah!!! I got a couple copies signed. did they do it for yas?
awesome. I'm so jealous!
heheh
nope, it was just shadow
and latryx came out too I guess
everyone stopped dancing about 5 minutes into it and just stared at them. jaws agape. my eyes were bugging out
ha ha!
seriously it was like the higher level of musical listening. hehe
that had to be the coolest damn thing ever
adrenaline rush helped me skate home quick (went till 1:30am I think) hehe.. but Ive only seem them, thats the closest thing to an electronic gig
not too much going on in oregon I take it?
umm trance and house but I dont go there
yeah, theres tons of shit music like that going on here too. its definately time for a change.
