November 27, 2003

Quick note while I’m in London — Had lunch w. none other than Woebot yesterday. Supercool dude! I took a photo of him even but I can’t post it cuz he wants to stay MYSTERIOUS. Spent last night drinking with a buncha friends and then came back to my homey G‘s pad in North London, [...]

off i go!

November 23, 2003

Ooh even more jealous that I can’t make it to the M. Mayer shindig at APT on Tuesday. Finally got to hear that Fabric mix and it’s so nice!

mit dir

November 19, 2003

Jurgen Paape is one of those ‘microhouse’ producers who really wears his heart on his sleeve. Paul played ‘Mit Dir’ at my birthday party, a gorgeous wisp of a song that gave me the shivers while I was at the bar getting another drink. As with all microhouse with vocals on top, I spend an [...]

November 17, 2003

I had a wonderful time this weekend — special shout-outs to Paul and Simon for valiantly holding down the decks at my birthday party despite problems with the bar’s system! They deserve some kind of medal for their efforts. And thanks to all y’all for stopping by — I hope you had as good of [...]

freedom of choice

November 17, 2003

Just got this email from a friend: Woah, just saw an ad for Miller featuring a remix (cover?) of Freedom of Choice! There’s a line of people falling over like dominoes except for this one guy who has the freedom of choice to drink Miller beer. But does Joe six-pack know that “freedom FROM choice [...]
