Hey Kevin,
Are you affiliated with the Ghostly International axis? I get the
impression that some of those folks are on this list. Also, do you know Rob
Threakston? I am guessing he is on this list as well. I don't know him
personally but he spins out a lot, (including apparently, a recent gig in
Bivouac!) I guess I am just saying that you are definitely not alone in
being a U of Mer and a listmember. (Although I have no direct proof of
this).
I LOVE the Chicks on Speed. I have seen them 6 times, including once in
1999 when I was living in London, so I am sort of obsessed with them. I
even almost stalked them for a while, and interviewed them when I was
younger and more obsessive in that way. Phinn's unofficial website for them
is really awesome, if you haven't had a chance to look at it, it is really
exhaustive. I think Phinn is or used to be a 313 listmember as well:

WIT was not very good. They covered that cars song "Just what I needed"
which is sort of cool. But they lip-synched, which did not go over well
with the crowd. Tracy of Tracy and the Plastics sounds like Belinda
Carlisle but with a more powerful range. Her first album doesn't really
grab me at all though. I got a kick out of seeing Larry Tee in person,
since I have read so much about his rift with DJ Hell.
take it easy,
Sam

I was there. It was a good, best people watching I've had since my days
at pine knob and ozzfest. Chicks on Speed were very good. Peaches
really did not impress me much, I just don't get her I guess. I got
there too late to catch WIT and the plastics.

Subject: (313) peaches
Did anyone go to the Peaches/chicks on speed/WIT/tracy and the plastics
show yesterday at the Majestic Theater? I would hate to bring up the
whole "generic/electropop/electroclash is not electro" debate up again,
but I am curious to hear listmembers thoughts. Peaches wore a pink tank
top with
313
on it. Larry Tee name checked Juan Atkins and DJ Assault (and more) in
one of his speeches, and Chicks on Speed professed their excitement at
finally getting to play in Detroit. Adult. and EsQuire were in
attendance. I am guessing some listmembers were too. I wish more
electronic events featured fake blood.
