what shakes
– Clips for my remix of Lost, on Pacific Front, can be found here. It is a wonderful release; the remixes from C79 and Dustin are just grand.
– The VEMF is next weekend. I am part of the first music production seminar on Saturday at 1 PM, and then I am djing on the main stage at 2 PM. No idea what I’m going to play at all.
– I saw Maximo Park on Monday:
They’re a lot of fun live, don’t take themselves too seriously, and lose a lot of the wank that’s on their second album when they do it outside of the studio. The openers, Monsters Are Waiting, were also not an embarrassment, unlike the openers for Battles. The singer has an amazing voice, even if the tunes were a tad pedestrian. It got me thinking about where bands and DJs take their energy from, but I’ll talk about that later.
– Picked up the second trade of NEXTWAVE, and an amazing art book, CONLUVIO by Ben Templesmith. Can’t recommend them enough.
