Re: (313) DBX in DC
2 Hours for Richmond?? I am coming from Salisbury
(out on the Eastern Shore) which is a hell of a trip.
I know the promoter, and they mostly just have
regional players come out for this Friday event that
they throw. DBX is by far the biggest name I have
seen for this event.
The promoter has brought people like T-1000 and Disco
D out in the past, so I expect that he could end up
doing it some more, but with such a small capacity
place I don't think they can afford to bring a ton of
these guys out.

Not that I pay close attention, but I have seen ads
for decent techno
acts in DC. Kevin Saunderson played a few months
ago and Autechre is
coming next month.
Problem is DC is about 2 hours from Richmond, which
makes it too far
away to go on a weekday, which is when 99% of the
acts I really would
love to see are scheduled.
I'm still amazed that this is happening in
Fredericksburg of all places.
Hopefully, the promoters will continue bringing
similar acts to the area.

That's nutty - DC never ever ever gets techno.
The only stuff you guys get is 'evil nine' playing
ridiculous 'breaks'
and that henry scott guy being the sleazy club
promoter with drug
dealers from virginia chilling in the ghetto club
row.
Then you got the lounges with the congress and
agency staffers at
happy hour. pretty exciting.

There are a few cycle rental places starting up recently. I'll find

popular thing to do. I always cycle during the summer now. It's much
preferred to driving.

Re: (313) Kraftwerk US shows in April
Thats a shame, they are a great live act (for a bunch of guys that stand still before their terminals for the whole performance), I saw them about 5 years ago, it was amazing to hear their songs on a killer sound system, they had beefed up the bass end of there tunes considerably. One of those I can now die content kind of moments. rg wrote: In autumn 1990 or 91 I was in Prague Czechoslovakia, a random visit as someone had given me a few days left on a rail pass and I was in Switzerland. I saw posters in Czech for 'Kraftwerk' in the city, so wrote it down and on the day headed out with 6 hours to spare. Ended up at the wrong place, finally got to this 60's modernist cultural center next to a big river directly off the train, no roads, the station was at the edge of this complex and I could hear the music, appregiators but can't remember the song, I think it was the model...it had just started, and there was no one anywhere, deserted, but with krafwerk echoing through all these concrete passages and tunnels and chambers. I eventually found the ticket booth and presented my money and the women there told that I had to have bought a ticket somewhere else in the city and could only present it at that booth, or something like that, like it had started and it was seated, I couldn't work it out...so absolutely no entry...so I listened to a few songs through this closed auditorium door, as it got dark in this monolithic concrete civic centre, it was weird...like no audience noise, no rubbish, no drinks...and then I got fed up and left feeling weird enough as it was...never forget it though...just so wish I'd run in that door man. -Original Message- From: Greg Earle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 5:21 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: Re: (313) Kraftwerk US shows in April [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: there does seem to be some kind of Kraftwerk Kurse for some people In 2004, I had a ticket to see them at Coachella, and a plane ticket to San Francisco to go see them at The Warfield.

(313) same as it ever was, not what it used to be, plus ca change, plu c'est la meme chose
I posted this to the wrong list ;-( here it is again. -- Forwarded message -- I didn't go to the festival last year, I didn't get to stay for monday night in 2006. In 2006 I really felt a little sad about the state of the festival. My primary sadness is that I bust my ass to get there early in the day and no one was there. I miss it being a free festival, because the people of Detroit are to a large extent now shut out of the festival. But I'm sad about a lot of things that aren't what they used to be. That happens if you live long enough. In 2000 and 2001 there was a sense of limitless optimism about Dance Culture and Detroit techno in particular. That is pretty much gone now, and unless you live in a large city in the US, there's really no dance culture left. The distributors and labels have been going out of business left and right. Magazines are folding, or turning into irrelevant Publicists' tools. But there's no reason to slit your wrists. Memorial Day Weekend in Detroit is a pretty great time. There will be great sets at the festival, there will be great afterparties, and the grits at the Clique will still be ... gritty? And curiously, on the rare occasions that we have decent dance events in Iowa, they're well attended by enthusiastic people. And there's a resurgence of DJ culture of a completely different sort -- rock nights, hip hop nights, mash up nights. The ultimate though was last Friday at the Picador, when there were two guys from local death metal bands quite earnestly DJing old metal records. It isn't what it used to be but when it is it ever?
Re: (313) demf 2008
No I completely disagree with you Greg. sorta kinda Detroit, to me, is not a festival. Uh wha? But we're talking about the festival. No one has said that Greektown, or the afterparties, or showing up at so'n'so's (insert techno namedrop) house is not great. That stuff is all great. Traveling is great. These are the attractions of traveling. There are many great cities in the world full of brilliant artists and great atractions and Detroit is one of them. Yeah. Let's see you get that kind of experience at insert some generic Euro festival here It won't be the same experience. It could be equally great. I appreciate Detroit very much, it's a great and unique place. But it is besides the point if we're talking about the musical quality of the festival. Obviously it is great to see friends and enjoy the sights, although I am not so sure I enjoy the atmosphere of the festival the best for this, or having to shell out hundreds of dollars in hotels etc to do so. Waxing romantic about how it's the city that counts and it doesn't matter if the festival goes to crap is not really a very reasonable argument IMO. That said, I got the most detailed and helpful description of last year's festival from ex-313er Jamaul Redmond over the weekend. He said it was still amazing, that there was a great performance on one stage or another at all times, and described performances I hadn't even heard about (Shake with 3 Chairs?? 6 hrs of Rhythm Sound with one of the guys from Wackies?!). He said there was no shortage of great music, and from what he said, I believe it! He also added that all the minimal and inane club music was mostly concentrated in the Beatport tent. That doesn't sound so bad at all if it was that easily avoided. Jamaul played a mindblowingly great set in Charlotte, NC on Saturday night. His stuff is very much in the vein of the best Rob Hood stuff, like the first dozen M-plants, really excellent, and his focus while performing is really impressive...Highly recommend any body who enjoys that original M-plant sound to check him out if you get the chance...He opened for Rob Hood before and gave him a run for his money...
