The Shapes were great. Micachu filled me with rage.

Was it her sneering or her gender neutrality or her cockney accent...I'm guessing all of the above

The gender neutrality didn't bother me -- actually, I hated her less when I realized she was a woman because when I thought she was a seventeen year old boy I literally wanted to strangle her.
The sneering and the cockney accent, though, absolutely. Set my teeth on edge. I also wanted to meet her halfway and try to hate her at least as much as she seemed to hate me and everyone else. Also, as interesting as roughly half of the songs they played were (due entirely to the Shapes), the other half were abysmally boring.
Hey though, drew, we did get there in time to see them entirely based on your endorsement, so it doesn't mean that we don't love ya. I wanted to like 'em, even enjoyed their album when I listened to it. But that chick had the most godawful stage presence of anyone I think I've ever seen.

Does anyone know who DJ Dan is? I just met him, he's playing some little bar in Prince George. People say he's quite well known...

Does anyone know who DJ Dan is? I just met him, he's playing some little bar in Prince George. People say he's quite well known... I definitely know who DJ Dan is... I remember listening to his stuff about 10 years ago. He's never been an A-list DJ but has been on the B-list for quite a while. Whether this matters or not, part of why he's well known is that he publicly came out as gay a long time ago, back when the rave scene was deliberately ambiguous. It was a big deal at the time - nobody cares anymore though.

My co-worker said he way gay, I wasn't sure if he meant that literallly or if he just meant he was a jackass. Regardless, he's a nice dude and he has the place going pretty crazy. I quite enjoy what he is playing and he is clearly enjoying himself to. People are buying him shots while he is playing and he just downs then and keeps on going. My kind of DJ.

He's a good DJ for sure, if you like his style. And yes, he's definitely gay, but again, that doesn't seem to matter much in the scene these days. Glad you're having fun on your adventure Davers.

He mixed Mike Jackson, Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk in 15 minutes. Dude is my hero.

Oh, and the Doors too. If I make it to the end of his set he will get many high fives and finger snaps.
He's my type of DJ.

Seemed easier than typing Michael on my phone. Don't ask me why.

The other day, Souly referred to Robert Smith of the Cure as 'Rob' Smith. I thought it was a Canadian thing.

Well now that we're 2/2, I think we can definitely attribute it to being Canadian.
