(idm) Er... um, I like DJ Spooky!

With all of these unflattering posts on my man Spooky, I'd thought I'd
toss in (off??) my own experience.

I saw DJ Spooky spin in Minneapolis and I thought it was wicked. One
part that blew me away was him chopping up this nasty-assed drum and
bass together with some feedback static, slightly bleeding one into the
other like some stellar communication smashing through the atmosphere.
It was sooo psychedelic I thought I'd have to take a cab home
afterwards. Maybe that was the **special** peanut butter/mushroom
sandwich...

I liked his mix CD on Knitting Factory ["Necropolis"]. I mean, I thought
I was the only person who bought that Sablon Glitz "UFOnic" 12" remix on
Organico, but it's layered in there! And "Songs Of A Dead Dreamer"
smokes, too. Can't vouch for much else, but my friend scored a mix tape
from him in Chicago and it's on heavy rotation in his beater. 

If you want to hear DJ Spooky yerself, there's a sound clash between him
and Alec Empire (!) at:
