Then I put on a recent BB King, but went to bed soon after that, it annoyed me as it turned out to be mega-bucks-blues, nothing of the real thing...
The only concert I've ever fallen asleep at was B.B.King opening for Aretha Franklin. I was drifting all through B.B. (predictable, big band, fake blues) and about two songs into Aretha's set (same thing as B.B., just a different voice and catalogue) I was out like a light. So was my girlfriend. We woke up and the stadium was almost empty. Sad considering how good they once were. I would add that we both had been working like mad leading up to that show and we were exhausted. I've been listening to a lot of NPR (National Public Radio) programming of late. The music stations in this city are crap and the batteries ran down on my discman. In the car I listened to a super long dj set by FSOL (12 hour show) which was really aggravating because the sound was shit. I've switched off from time to time to Amon Tobin stuff and my friend Highdropod (www.highdropod.com) and I listened to a bunch of Soft Cell (underated couple of fags) and some Ofra Haza and that's about it lately. Been working on the ambient set so most of my listening time is taken. Listen to the three attempts so far at takes for the album (which will be one take). I haven't even listened to tonight's set yet so tell me what you think. http://www.ifpr.homestead.com/ifprradio.html My two latest remixes are playing right now so the last album take will start in about fifteen minutes. They're on a loop so give a listen any time. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)
