I already bought tickets, for $25 which is much less than the $150 LA told me they were later being sold for, for the Friday Terminal 5 MIA show in NYC, but that did not stop me from buying four tickets to the MIA show at 930 Club. Can’t wait!

Frans de Waard, Rape Ape, TL0741, and Tone Ghosting at El Possible (20070909)
First, let me take one more opportunity to trash the DC music journalists. Your writing is terrible. Your opinions uninformed. Your tastes reprehensible. Your coverage racist. For good measure, let me throw in a specific critique of your coverage of Sonic Circuits is pathetic, as it consists almost entirely of regurgitating garbage PR releases rather than actually look into the festivities. You (continue to) make me sick!
Moving on to the show…I walked in midway through Tone Ghosting’s set (sites: 1 and 2), and I wish I arrived earlier. His use of a metal bowl on a bass was 100 percent awesome. The rest of the musicians rocked it, with TL0741 doing the knob-twiddling thang, Rape Ape doing some interesting things with feedback and mic work, and Frans de Waard (sites: 1 and 2) building a beautiful sonic landscape with sounds recorded in some now-closed ship yard. Awesome stuff.
MIA In DC: RIP
First, the Washington City Paper steals my idea, then they cite me but point people to a site I haven’t updated since early April.
And yes, I know they got the idea for the posts from me because I exchanged e-mails with them and was a contributor for two weeks.
Now that we have ‘established’ media covering MIA in DC, I’ll refrain from providing updates.
