So some DJ on Live 105 (I was listening to it because my iPod’s broken. I wouldn’t listen to the radio if my iPod was working! OBVIOUSLY!) was playing the ENTIRE ALBUM of this band, Block Party. He was doing it supposedly because he just LURVED it THAT MUCH. I thought it was mediocre.
Anyway after he was done playing the entire album, he was like “I can’t do any better than this for you folks, I just don’t know what to do.” And he stood up and left the room and there was silence for like a minute.
PUBLICITY STUNT OR SLIGHTLY SILLY DJ ANTICS?
Also: I went to Pier 39 and bought WAY too many tokens so I was playing beatmania III for a really, really long time and hanging out with rtf. Also, the people at RTA were installing in the groove and they got it to ALMOST work, but it sorta crashed after every song. So the mechanics gave up after a few hours. No ITG just yet.
Is anyone else doing anything worth anything, like THIS EVENING? I’m horribly bored (and AOL’s instant message sender is out of my reach for now). Maybe we can hang out and talk. Yes, you and me, one on one, baby. ;-*
Back when radio stations were real and non-ClearChannelized, DJs did indeed have personality. They would even play the same song over and over late at night if they wanted.
And after RTA I went to the Metreon just to get in some ITG action. The asian gangster guys looked at my flash drive and were all like “WTF is that thing, where’d you get it, how much, play that song on Expert LOL” and I let my legs die completely but it was all worth it.

i love them 🙂
i thought the album was mediocre was well, but after a while it grew on me. i think i was expecting their sound to be like their big break out single, but no. it’s like…well, what i am saying, you heard the album.
