Glad to see people have noticed all the hard work we have done at Smartbar, keeping true to the tasteful stuff. Here and there tho, for numbers you have to bill someone that is totally uncalled for...thats why I don't like promoting.

I just wanted to bill quality music as much as possible.

I tried to get Distance and Kromestar to play a few times @ Smartbar, never really panned out. Shame, amazing producers who really don't get the attention they deserve.

It totally makes sense that they would and that they'd love it, but still, it's mad weird.

'tsall good, doe!

I know all the folks you are talking about. Good people. Unfortunate to hear about the fight at the gig, I can't comment on it as I wasn't there. I had to drive my cat and dog to the vet in Cicero in that storm, and had to get up at 6 the next morning to go to Bloomington-Normal for work so said fuck it in the end. Disappointed as I was looking forward to catching up with Matty. I can't believe they only got to play for 10 minutes! If I were you, I'd have definitely asked for my money back. That's ridiculous.

Pearson Sound was sick though - I was going OFF when he started playing grime. I'm not too weary about the Skream/Benga/Plastician/Jackmaster/Hijack gig (heretoafter referred to as 'the Rinse gig' for brevity's sake) as there will be tons of diversity. For as much flack that he gets on DSF, Plastician does a great job of playing 360 degrees of the sound - even if the emphasis is on the harder riddims (though for him, it always has been).

Things are changing slowly but surely. Just got asked to open for Lunice on Thursday, March 1 at Smart Bar. It's all about supporting the artists we like. That Pearson show was well attended, and Signal looks like it's gonna be a successful night. Looking forward to what the gang has in store for it.

Of course someone just had to jump in and get pissy and play victim because life is just a bit too boring. No matter how incredibly inoffensive I tried to phrase it because I knew otherwise someone would get their panties in a bunch. Never mind my American ex-girlfriends too. Ugh. It's like seeing a bunch of cowboys dancing to Greek music, that's why it's surreal. Oh no, I said 'cowboys', an American stereotype, somebody call the wambulance. Uhhh, a bunch of Sumo wrestlers then, happy?

I already fucking said it made _sense_ for them to be into it. But dubstep's cultural signifiers are European. So it's kinda like a piece of 'Europe' in America. Obviously, I only believe this because I have a narrow view of Americans.
