the show last night was enjoyable.
i
didn't realize there was an opening band - i thought it was two opening
djs. i needed to sit down for the bulk of the opening band's set 'cause i
was a little bit tired all of a sudden after having a cigarette out
back. must've been the weather. anyways, i had no idea what i was
listening to, but the neo-bjorkian voice and gentle guitars coming from
the stage were rather soothing, in the ambience of the cross-legged
seating. my kindergarten teacher would have said i was sitting like an
indian, but she was a racist old lady and she's probably dead, now. she
wouldn't let me hula hoop, either. she even yelled at me for reading, a
few times. the old hag. i really hated her. it wasn't her actual name, but i called her missus pajamas - which was close enough. maybe there's a more technically correct yoga
term for the posture, but i always thought she was talking about native
americans, anyways :\. the point is that my enjoyment of this set was
greatly aided by the atmosphere of it, which was zonked right out on the
floor. it was kind of exactly what i needed to hear, in the situation of floor tourism that i was in. i was able to stand up for the last song or two...
i went into the floating points set realizing it was a little overhyped, and unsure if i was going to get more 70s rehash or something a little bit more warp records. i didn't really get either; it was more goldie than squarepusher, and enjoyable for the head cave, but not what some people want to claim it is. i don't want to dissuade you from it, because i legitimately had fun with it. i'd just caution you from expecting something that it isn't.
i did not take footage because there kind of wasn't footage. it was dark. i'm pretty sure there was a guitarist there. i'm not sure if there was a drummer there or not, but am leaning towards there not being one there. so, it was more of a dj set in feel if not in fact, and i don't usually take footage of dj sets.
