Question of the day: What is "BOOTY"? When we were in Detroit for the
Kraftwerk show, my friends and I saw a section in the techno/dance room at
Record Time labelled "BOOTY", and I've now seen it mentioned on a couple
of rave flyers. Later that night, we were a little drunk and driving
around the city (well, the driver wasn't drunk, but the rest of us were)
and we flipped on some clubmix radio show, and they were playing some
crazy-ass fast-as-fuck dance stuff that really kicked, and it didn't seem
to be any of the styles we're familiar with (house, speed garage, trance,
whatever), so we're thinkin' maybe it was BOOTY. 

"Yo man, gotta get me some o' that MOTOR CITY BOOTY!!" was our slogan for
the rest of the drunken rage that the evening became.


And speaking of booty - I got some cool swag from Warp yesterday, in the
form of a couple of promo posters for WAP100. They're a sort of lime green
colour, with "wap100%indiefuckindependent" written across the top and
images of a few dozen of their singles. I was thinking of bringing one in
to hang in my new office at work, but I don't think the "f" word will go
over well.
