freeflir29 0 #2 October 29, 2002 Yep....I think Trey was trying to get Jimmy to come spin for the Boogie Saturday night but he wanted A LOT of money. Hmmm...haven't seen Sasha before so maybe I should drag Stacy down there Thursday night and make her trip to Atlanta memorable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefallin14 0 #7 October 30, 2002 Bastard cancelled his show in Chicago for Nov 16th. Was looking forward to seeing him again. Seen him 4 times so far I think, twice he tagged with Sasha, and twice solo. Such a deep dark proggy sound. He rocks. I am however going to see Carl Cox this Friday, so all is good.

NO LINE! we walk right in, music's a playin, and people are a groovin! 10:15pm - ladies and gentleman, VIKING IS DANCING! 11:00pm - ok, this opening dj had a few good mixes, along with some GREAT tracks, but his programming and lack of consistency leaves something to be desired . getting anxious... 11:35pm - diggers casually saunters across the stage, much to the delight of the screaming crowd, and readys his vinyl arsenal. 11:45pm - john digweed assumes control of the club. AND HOW! he starts his set off with a track he's been playing for the last year or so, a perfect piece with which to begin! 12:06am - wait a second... what's this? A GIRL TOUCHING VIKING??? oh please oh please... OMG! SHE'S PUTTING HER ARM AROUND HIM!!! now viking, breathe... run with this, man... you can d-... DOOOOHHH! 12:15am - cman runs into kairon, an old friend i haven't seen in a while (we threw a couple desert parties together), and fetches me. our reunion is brief, but worthy. 12:17am - holy criznap! there's jenn and taylor!!! jenn!!! omg, she's soooooooooo cool! we chat for a bit. 12:19am - this is just one of those nights... hey, there's bt (aka brian transeau, aka bt kaelin )! wassup brian??? still sporting the do, i see. 12:21am - "hey, cman, bt's over there, in the corner!" "does he still have that hair? oh yeah, i can see him from here..." 12:26am - diggers brings in this huge BADASS track, just as jenn and taylor fight their way through the crowd to the middle of the dancefloor. jenn points out that this is taylor's new track!!! we all groove together... 12:47am - ok, shirtless-gay-love-train at 9:00... damn these boys sure can get down to these choons, eh? cool by me! er, um, ok... now one dood is orbiting the other, in a perpetual body lick... ALRIGHTY THEN! hot chicks at 3:00... heyyyyyyyyyyy! 1:12am - cool pacific islander armani guy, with his shirt unbuttoned because he's cool, clad in leather jacket in the middle of a steaming dancefloor because he's cool, and that cool gold necklace, and that cool look-at-my-straight-white-teeth-you-want-me smile... he dons his raybans whilst looking at the crowd, SEDUCTIVELY LICKS HIS UPPER LIP (like ANYONE is gonna swoon over that), then proceeds to make a cell phone call. CHEESE AND RICE!!! diggers is head down in a difficult mix, and he spots this fokker out of the crowd, GLARING BALEFULLY. 1:30am - the music is beyond words... i'm now beyond pluto... time slurs... 3:20am - diggers drops an old familiar track from the northern exposure expeditions cd. the crowd goes apeshit! 3:32am - ah, saints and sinners - pushing too hard... a few years old, yes, but SOOOOO PERFECTLY matches the energy at this point, and a perfect end to the set. 3:45am - while diggers drops a couple of encore tracks, we get ready to leave. so long, farewell, we bid you all... jenn? you really wanna go skydiving? EXCELLENT! MUAHAHAHHAHA. and who's this? holy shite! TREAVOR (moontribe)! dood, i haven't seen you in years! hows life? well, gotta go! 4:15am - canter's, obligatory post-club belgian waffles, yadda yadda! 6:15am - falling asleep on drive home, resorting to last ditch efforts (singalongs) to keep awake. now playing... neil diamond turn on your heart light let it shine whereever you go let it make a happy glow for all the world to see turn on your heart light in the middle of a young boy's dream don't wake me up too soon gonna take a ride across the moon... 6:22am - now playing... the smiths (odd followup to neil, eh?) sweetness, sweetness i was only joking when i said i'd like to smash every tooth in your head oooohhhohhhh sweetness, sweetness i was only joking when i said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed... 6:53am - home at last, and in once piece! 7:30am - is anyone really reading this??? g'nite folks. er, um, g'mornin. yeah. steve ps clay? i'd go to eleven50 tonight if i were you...

freefallin14 0 #13 October 31, 2002 Dude you went to see Digweed and actually remember that much of the night and in that much detail?? I am impressed. A couple of the more slamming tracks he played last time I saw him were: Shmuel Flash - Chilling Moments (Bedrock Vocal) (yes I spelled Shmuel right, this is a personal favorite of mine to throw down live) Homemade - Philosophy Bedrock - Emerald King Unique - Sugar High Check em out, I am willing to bet he played a couple. Bret Carl Cox tomorrow!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SudsyFist 0 #14 October 31, 2002 Quote Dude you went to see Digweed and actually remember that much of the night and in that much detail?? wise man say... roll not, remember more! Quote I am willing to bet he played a couple. last night, he was on a mission to deliver new music. SERIOUSLY. i only recognized 4 tracks: 1. unknown (recognize from a couple of his kiss100 mixes) 2. unknown (remix of some '98-ish track) 3. delta lady - anything you want (from expeditions cd) 4. saints and sinners - pushing too hard everything else was stuff i've NEVER heard... definitely not (yet) on bedrock. chilling moments, btw, is a mighty fine track! steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
