Before uploading the promised photographic bounty (batch processing my ass), two quick notes. The new issue of Earplug is up here, featuring reviews of Optimo, Jane, and more; an Ubercoolische feature; streaming techno, drum'n'bass, and otherwise — and did I mention three free Kompakt MP3s? Send yr feedback to us here and let us know what you like, what you don't, and what you want more of. (Puppies, rainbows, and curly fries are already in the queue.)
Also, my story on New Order made the cover of the SF Weekly this week, which is exciting for anyone into extended remixes, family anecdotes, or Wilson High School. Stephen Morris was a lovely interviewee, I feel a bit bad I don't love their new album more.

Posted by: Steve at April 28, 2005 11:54 AMHi Philip, Did you hear "original Hamster's" performance at Mutek MX? How was it? I would like to hear your impressions on that performance.

Posted by: mateo Zlatar at April 29, 2005 09:09 AMGreat article on New Order. But if you coulda, wouldya have put the live video mix of "Perfect Kiss" on instead, Barney's straining vox and all? Best performance video EVER.
