Who happen to be John Kelley and Brian from Moontribe; both of whom are
excellent DJs and very nice people.  Shame on you, Gil.  Your sarcasm
is severely misplaced here ....

Maybe Beaumont doesn't have problems with elitism or the assumption that
somehow it's beneath one's dignity to play at Jason Bentley's club?

RDJ just flaked on flying over here to do radio/record label promo stuff
this week.  He would have been spinning at Frequency had he come here.
Would you still have had a problem with it then?

Um, yeah.  I saw Talvin Singh spin there, among other people.  Enjoyed it
quite a bit, in fact.  Then again, I don't break out in hives at the mention
of "Jason Bentley" ...

Tell Mike Fix you hate his guts at xxx@xxx.xxx.  (-:

Too bad, because Electric Skychurch are a good live band and John Kelley
and Brian are excellent DJ's.  Well worth $10 before 10 PM if you ask me ...

For the other 5 of you in L.A. that give a fuck, Beaumont Hannant will also
be (presumably) spinning at Swirl this Wednesday; it's at The World in
Hollywood (7070 Hollywood Blvd.; 310.842.6475).

(Apologies to the IDM'ers who don't live near Los Angeles and who could
 give a shit about who's coming here  (-: )
