That's the joke... it's so wrong that it had to go in there. The last track, Metal Slug, is on a friend's label - and it's by a couple of guys I know from Holland... I was playing around with the two records and decided that they needed to hear it... it was such a bad idea that I had to run with it.

btw - Oakey = Phil Oakey of Human League fame... that track is 20 years old now... damn.

Yeah - an all acid event would be nice. I'm playing an acid set tomorrow night... in Winnipeg, though.

No... The I-F/Beverly Hills 808303 stuff is probably about as close as I get, unfortunately. I didn't have all that much to choose from during my formative years in Winnipeg... and by the time I started hitting record stores in other cities I was mostly buying hardcore and digging up used techno records that I'd really been looking for.

I'm back in Winnipeg at the moment and spent last night going through stuff out here - pulled out a shit load of stuff that I'd nearly forgotten I had. Yum.

Thanks for listening, btw - it looks like you might be the only one.

my balls need jokes like that... but not yours. Yours are too manly. My nuts are like the cowardly lion from Wizard Of OZ. They appear big and scary, but they're really just shy and need some cuddling.

I'm not sure if Scott will be there... he mentioned it was going on... as for me being in the 'Peg... I'm playing on Saturday night and getting back here on Sunday afternoon. I'm in town next weekend - then playing in New York the week after that.

Neil - I ran into Deadbeat on the way home... he mentioned the show at the SAT. It's tempting, but I'm flying to Winnipeg tomorrow... and I just dropped $90 on records. I might come out, but right now I feel like taking it easy...

Further to MEM Records. Hit them up today and found yet another Hyperactive record - Don't Panic. They were having some kind of boxing day sale... so I left with a box full of records. Fun stuff. I don't have shit to do tonight, so I think I'll mix it up.

Kero was dope ass... I need to find more of his records. I've just got this one track on a Ghostly Int. compilation.

I listen to a lot of pretty out there stuff... but most of what I pick up is on vinyl, so I don't grab too much of that. Although, I do take Merzbow, Masonna and such and cut them in with rhythmic stuff.

Ollie did some sick stuff on Steel City. I wish I'd still been functional enough to make it out to Flux. Between Mutek and work I was damn near dead by the end of that week... damn. Oh well... I got the chance to play a show with Huren earlier that month.

It's Schumacher working under the name Elekrochemie LK... I found a mint test pressing of it for $1.99 a while back - with the one sheet and everything. I don't understand why people sell this stuff.

fuck... let's just try to find someone who'll put together a show with that line-up...

DJ Slip is one of my all-time favourite producers... the record he cut on Subvoice is incredible... that track is from a record that came out on Parotic in early 2001. It's a remastered version of an old acid track.

Yeah... you did say you'd like to see Rob Hood... but it was worth another mention (and it was also an attempt to get things back on topic)...

yeah... no one wants this to continue if there's a chance another photo of me or Neil might get posted in this thread.

That's the place...

no... but I scored a whole wack of Hyperactive vinyl (all still sealed) for about $5 a record... wonderful stuff.

I thought Denham was from Kalamazoo... as far as I know he's the guy behind Black Nation [ www.black-nation.com ] I'm pretty sure he played at Sector 616, but I'm also pretty sure I missed his set 'cause there was so much going on. As for Murat... I've got a copy of The Experiment somewhere... which is a pretty crazy mix. Ah... I remember the days when people like Himadri, Murat, Huren and such were kings of the techno landscape... then, suddenly, everybody had a first and last name.

It was beautiful when it was anonymous.

As for DJs ripping off artists when they play vinyl - that's why I don't sit back and play tracks... some people think it's disrespectful to the artist's work to chop it up, but the guys who make the records seem to like it... at least that's what they tell me.

Did anyone else say they'd like to see Rob Hood play up here? 'Cause I would.

I'd only heard Devine's record on Six-Sixty-Six before I got out here... but when we went record shopping he was looking for old Mills records. It's pretty funny 'cause he'd only prepared a 40 minute set and was surprised that he was slotted for an hour - so Takeshi Muto came out and joined him for the last 20 minutes and they dropped a bunch of improv breakbeats. Sick.

I'm lookin' so metal lately...

...and I figured anyone who came out to Produkted in '97 has hit veteran status by now...

yeah... Sector 616 - 4th of July 1998. I guess I haven't seen him in 313 either - 'cause that party took place in the 616 area code. So sad.

Hey Carlos - can you make fun of my hair, too?

you kids and your frickin' vowel removal. I thought dj Nfrm was for Infirm, which means...

Weak in body, especially from old age or disease; feeble. See Synonyms at weak.
Lacking firmness of will, character, or purpose; irresolute.
Not strong or stable; shaky: an infirm support.

Now it appears that it's for Neoform... meaning...

Weak in body, especially from old age or disease; feeble. See Synonyms at weak.
Lacking firmness of will, character, or purpose; irresolute.
Not strong or stable; shaky: an infirm support.

So confusing.

obtechno: I saw Jeff Mills and Surgeon and Claude Young play in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was really swell.

That's too bad... I wanted to come out on Saturday night, but I ended up being too tired after Friday.

As I recall Saphir played a similar role in closing out the original Flexout nights (although that story is a bit more involved).

just as long as nobody needs a fishead 50 Cent mix.

I had a good time... nice to finally catch Nikadeemas - surprised to hear him tear it up with a history lesson. Heard a lot of great tracks that I haven't heard in years (shit... I can't even remember the last time I'd heard Church Of Ecstacy or Quoth on a large system).

Belladonnakillz was entertaining (tranced out mix of Fuckin' Hostile? What the hell?)... and I was able to slip Motorhead into the mix without getting lynched.

Good times... and my anti-social self even talked to some people... fancy that.

Carlos... you need to work on the delivery. That didn't sound very convincing. It wasn't even as convincing as when you grabbed my ass and whispered the same line in my ear.

Oh wait... that time it was pretty convincing.

I quit paying attention to this thread for a day and everybody gets all jaded and shit. It's beautiful. I have wood. Seriously.

What about Man2Man? Is it safe to call them gay?

as I recall the main players in Clonk all moved away from Toronto. I saw Greg at Mutek, so he might be back in Toronto now... but Neil was one of the Clonk honchos - so you can be sure that he knows what's up.

to tie this in with another thread in a different genre... Boom Bip cut a record on Lex called From Left To Right... which features Buck 65 on a cut called The Unthinkable... which is remixed by Venetian Snares. Go figure.

I saw someone mention Gruf the Druid. Damn. I'd like to see any of the guys from Peanuts & Corn come out here. I caught them a couple of years back doing a performance as a collective.. Pip, Gruf, McEnroe, Jon Smith... that was a killer show.

I missed Atmosphere when they were out here, but I remember seeing them in Minneapolis in '97 - in one of the coolest venue I've ever had the pleasure to check out... they were opening for this indie rock band called February (who were incredible).

I can't believe no one's mentioned Kool Keith... I know he can grate on people, but when he's on he does some stuff that is pure sickness.

only a few more hours now... wait 'til y'all see my rugged moustache.

I'm pretty sure I'll have some with me tonight. Emotional Joystick is like masturbation. It's good any time - and it's something to share with friends!

Did I forget to answer this? I don't work in retail, I work in distribution... so I can only pick up stuff for my personal use.

I heard Richie grew hair and got contacts because he was tired of people telling him he looked like Neil Wiernik.

Denham and Heil would be nice to check out... I've had near misses with both of them. Big parties with too much going on can be great - but it sucks when you miss things you wanted to check out. Oh well... I managed to catch Heiko Laux the night I missed Heil - and that made me happy as hell... and missing Denham... I caught Mills, Claude Young, Frankie Vega, Shake and Surgeon that night... so I probably shouldn't kick myself too hard.

I live under a rock called music.
