Quick Thoughts On Recent Shows

There’s no way I can comment on every show I hit, but here are some quick thoughts on some recent ones:

DJ Spooky, The Gray Kid, Person @ RnR Hotel
I am not sure why every legit, high-quality act wants some lame individual MC wrapping over bedroom-made electro beats to open. Maybe because everyone will be so disgusted that they can’t help but like the headliner? This was the third or fourth show in a month that had this happen. Oh well, DJ Spooky was absolutely incredible, and cool to boot (MA and I chatted with him for a second after the show). He mentioned some new projects so hopefully he’ll be touring soon.

Lady Sovereign @ 930 Club
Good show, although crowd was lame (young, restless, not into the music, only into the TRL-ness of it) and S-O-V had way too much attitude–just play the music, that’s what we’re paying you for!

Girl Talk @ BC M
Not always great music but he sure does rock the crowd.
