I'd love to come, but 313 is far away from here... Who is this Dale
character?
this "dale" character is none other than "big poppa" dale
lawrence, one of the more up and coming ghettoelectrobootytech
djs in the detroit area. prior releases include "spank my
flabby white ass you bad boy", "thats not protein in your SOBE",
and "shake your body until all your internal organs are damaged".
his next release...."supercalifragilisticexpialabooty" should
be out this fall....
...oh yeah, he also does this "theorem" thing...but im not too
sure what its all about *shrug*.....

Meanwhile, in 2009 (313) news, Detroit Grand Pubahs blew my brains out
last weekend, and tonight Telefon Tel Aviv did the same.
The Pubahs were out here for a rare (first time since I saw them in
2001!) LA appearance. Times have changed and Andy Toth is no longer
in tow; Paris' manager from Holland is the Man Behind The (Old Man)
Mask nowadays.
They had some sound problems (mic missing, owner of the building
demanding the Funktion One rig be turned almost off, etc.) but before
an impromptu essaying of vintage Pubahs material with a jet-lagged and
drunk Paris on the mic, he essentially laptop DJed one of the best
sets I've heard in ages. After having been bored sh-tless the
previous weekend by Mnml it was more than a welcome change. A good
time was had by all.
Tonight Joshua brought his remaining half of Telefon Tel Aviv to town
after a long absence from the left coast. They were amazing. Imagine
Depeche Mode, Death In June, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and M83
trapped in an elevator. Really loud.
Then I dashed across town to catch John Tejada at Compression, playing
to a 2/3rds full room. This just after he played to a thousand people
in Berlin. No love from the home team, I tell ya ...
