some short comments: Providence R.I. at the Met Cafe, Nov. 21

DHR tour(regardless of what it may sound like, i do like a bunch of
DHR releases):

ec8or:
-wait, can't someone just get a sampler, a drum machine, and some efx and
make all of their songs in like 10 mintues?
-uh...what was he doing fiddling with that discman the whole time?(same
applies for Shizuo).
-creativity? where? riot riot blah blah blah...

shizuo:
-why is the guy in Shizuo who is dressed as a football player wearing
shoes with swastikas on them?
-i ask the DHR guy with the obtrusive video camera, he replies "Why?
Beleive me, he's not a Nazi."   oh.
-this is the most lame-o shit i have ever seen or heard.

atr:
-finally....there's four of them now?  wait, that carl guy is just moving
around like an idiot, doing karate moves, but he's the "mc", oh, i get it,
this must be The Prodigy.  he did some vocals i guess...
-overall, they were pretty good. enduring 2hrs of complete shit prior
to their appearance....

DHR: was it worth 3hrs roundtrip and 10$?  very questionable. will i still
buy some alec empire stuff? probably.
