yeah, i'm not doing bonobo. it's...

it's really overly co-modified. and, i'm not a detroit techno purist; i prefer idm from the uk. but, they're bringing in this kind of middling white instrumental hip-hop artist, setting the show up at 6:00 pm and shutting him down before midnight. for the not so low price of $25.

so, come to detroit and celebrate your independence by listening to a white brit appropriate your own music and sell it back to you for twice the price, in the complete wrong context? and, then you have to deal with the tight-ass security at the mocad, too. it's a bad deal. and, it's in some sense the new detroit: this is gentrification, and a lot of people aren't going to know any better.

if you're around, just go to marble, instead - they're open late, and in a very real way it's literally the exact place that a lot of this stuff actually developed out of.

i may show up there very late, but i'm doing something else entirely, if the weather co-operates. but, it's obscure. in fact, it's somebody's house, so, i'm going to avoid details until after the fact. it's one thing to invite you all to a bar; it's another to invite you to a house show.
