Riz was amazing. Without repeating your sediments, let me just say that she was the highlight of the evening, and along with Animals on Wheels she's the best thing ninja tune has to offer. She even dropped spiritualized's "pure phase" and something off the new low album "songs of a dead pilot". I've never seen an electronic musician like that drop indie rock before. I was able to talk to her upstairs, and she was really cool and receptive to people just coming up to talk to her. I'll be picking up those ntone 12"'s and that small fish with spine album as soon as I can locate them. btw- I don't see how I missed you there greg, where you upstairs or something? -Daniel x-xxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx ============================================================================== Listen to "Space Disco for Fish Tacos", KUCI 88.9fm Wednesdays 8-10pm New Space Disco For Fish Tacos web site: http://www.kuci.org/~dbremmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "If you want to call it a bandwagon, we've jumped upon it," -VH1 executive Jeff Gaspin.
