i saw him play in NYC in mid april with dj spooky and he's not fat ....

.... but that's not the point of me writing,

i wanted to know why he was received so badly... he didn't play a *bad* set
at all.... but there was just very little response, and at one stage he
stopped playing and called out something unintelligible to most along the
lines of 'what's the f***g problem?!' ....... was it a bad night, or does
new york city (or the us?) just not get what he does???   definitely a lot
of people dancing to his set were looking real conscious and awkward....  it
wasn't till most had left and the 10 or so remaining were going hard out
that things started feeling right (though empty).
