Can someone tell me what the Orb Live in Japan video is all about? All I know is that it is just over 10 minutes long and it is bloody brilliant. Is there a longer version floating around out there? Is there a non-digital version? What is it all about?? thanks Darcy ( dj monolith ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Orb] Badorb Refunds

Greetings, Well I received got a packet from BadORB today here in Los Angeles ... Finally ! The contents included BOB10, BOB12, BOB12CD, BOB14 and the MP3 cert for BOB14. As you see, they had really screwed up my orders going back quite a ways and they had never responded to many requests to get the items. The last packet I did receive some two months ago contained BOB13 even though the invoice and letter of Orbthenticity were for BOB12 ! Typical BadORB fashion. The only saving grace this time around was Christine as has been mentioned on the list. Two weeks ago and prior to the "official" comment from LX on the end of BadORB, I emailed sales(a)badorb.com asking about all my items. The very next day, Christine responded saying she would send all out, except for my TOG12 which they no longer had. She did offer a choice of a few other TOGs and after replying, I got a response from her the next day saying all items were on their way. Low and behold, today they packet arrived with said items, but still missing the TOG I picked to replace the TOG12 ... hmmm I do remember someone else on the list just getting a TOG12 though ... drats ! And as mentioned, the link for the BOB14 mp3 is devoid of MP3s. Maybe if Chirstime had been in charge all along, things wouldn't be so buggered up. I'm afraid it's time to finish off the BadORB experience by finally asking for the refund on my MP3 subscription. Good luck to those still waiting .... SA

Alan Evil writes: Fucking morons. There are a quarter of a BILLION people in this country. Hardly any press here still reaches more people than England has in total. I guess they never sold any Orb records in the US. No income whatsoever and no one ever went to any concerts. Sounds to me like a bullshit promoter that didn't do his job. It seemed to me that in New Orleans whenever LX dj-ed there was at least a decent crowd if not a mob but I don't even ONCE remember a promoter coming to the record store I worked in to promote the show. I guess all the people that shopped in the "dance" section wouldn't have noticed a sign announcing the show. That record store was in the French Quarter where LX was spinning and it was the biggest fucking record store in the southern US. I'm so sick of the attitude that there is no audience for electronica in the US. There are more people listening to electronica than bluegrass but somehow there are several bluegrass festivals every fucking weekend somewhere. Promoters are just fucking lazy here. They'd rather promote gangsta rap in the ghetto because there's much less leg work. Promoting LX dj-ing means they'd have to figure out how to notify the millions of people that have an Orb cd on their shelf and they don't have the imagination or sense to know how. Maybe LX should find a new promotional company. When Paul Oakenfold can dj in front of thousands in the desert in the middle of the fucking day and LX can't even get an hour djing at night in NYC you know something's wrong. It also doesn't help that the tour isn't anounced until after it's started. What the fuck is that? Most of the people that are Orb fans in this country can't take a random day or two off work on short notice. The tour dates were announced when? last week? Not that it matters to me since none of my favorite acts will play here since the radio stations are owned by the mega-corporations that have no interest on marketing anything any more cutting edge than Creed or Britney Spears. But any promoter that can't draw a crowd in NYC isn't worth a shit. Period. Institute for Psychic Reform Change your Mind www.psychicreform.com

It's because in Texas they kill you for playing electronic music...

Oh, wait, in Texas they kill you for being retarded. No, wait, they elect you governor if you're retarded! I wouldn't be surprised if the Texan proclivity for killing it's own citizens doesn't turn off most civilized humans. Maybe it's because most of Texas is impossible to breathe in because of those frikkin' feed lots! Next time I drive across southwest Texas I'm taking a gas mask! Between Texans' love of the death penalty and their love of raising beef crammed together in little pens I doubt you'll ever see Meat Beat Manifesto play there. Or Moby either but who cares, huh? At least you get major acts. Here in the middle of the country we're lucky if Kenny G plays a concert. Other than that it's bluegrass and the occasional heavy metal act and country artists. I think there was a rave in Cincinnati last year. Man or Astroman? plays here regularly but they play everywhere regularly. At this point I would like to rage like a lunatic against the gutting of the FCC that allows fucking Clear Channel Entertainment to completely take over and homogenize the airwaves of this country into a paste of corporate dictated CRAP preventing anything progressive from being heard except on the rare college radio station but it would take too long.
