Well, put it this way: for a DJ, I imagine to have an unreceptive crowd is like making love to someone who you can tell doesn't care about you. You either try harder in an effort to make them love you or your spirit shrinks and you just give less as there seems to be no point. As to why Perth (or a certain core, since apparently others not on the list did like it!) wasn't feeling either Derrick or Stacey, I really don't know or understand it. Maybe you had a collective headache those nights, Perth? >>People say that Hawtin is technically superior to Mills but I would take >>Mills anyday just because he has that jouissance.

Again I have theories about why people say this and these concern not the DJs but the punters and I would get myself in trouble for espousing them. What I would really like to know is if anyone caught Claude Young in Adelaide or Perth this last weekend? Someone must have gone! Peace Cyclone
