rjd2
SurvivedTheCrash: i saw rjd2 last night... and lemme just say... one of the best shows i've ever been to. seriously ranked up to radiohead (granted, in a different way, but nevertheless)
spriteman14: dude
spriteman14: that's awesome
SurvivedTheCrash: yeah. i wish you could have gone. you would have appreciated it a lot
spriteman14: =)
SurvivedTheCrash: he had like 4 turntables... plus an mpc which like loops samples and you can store different sounds tha tyou can play. it's cool.
SurvivedTheCrash: and he was running around changing records... doing dj techniques
SurvivedTheCrash: he was sequeing between tracks... from his new album AND dead ringer... and he was dropping certain samples with other beats
spriteman14: dannnng
SurvivedTheCrash: and then at the end... i was kinda pissed (not relaly) that he hadn't looped in any of my favorite song off the new album... and then he played it on acoustic guitar as an encore. it was bizarre. but awesome.
spriteman14: sounds sweet
spriteman14: was it there in columbus?
SurvivedTheCrash: yes sir. in the OSU art building. really cool architecture. the actual room where he performed was really cool. there was a screen behind him that had colorful video visuals... and then they also had a camera set up where you could see what he was doing. they didnt have that on nearly as much as they should have in my opinion.
SurvivedTheCrash: and he was really clever.. he was like "do we have any DJs in the house tonight? raise your hand... oh... we have... two... okay... well i'll give you a free copy of the CD if you can tell me what that last technique was that i used at the end there... it was pure fucking genius. that's right"
SurvivedTheCrash: and it had a good vibe since he's from columbus. and i dont know... it was fun
spriteman14: that's cool
spriteman14: you should've raised your hand anyways
SurvivedTheCrash: hahahaha
SurvivedTheCrash: i did
SurvivedTheCrash: ;-)
spriteman14: hahaha
SurvivedTheCrash: (i didnt... but i should have, yes... but then... rj's pretty much god... he would have known my chicanery ;-))
spriteman14: nah man
spriteman14: you should've been like, "well...that, sir, was a flare and then you transformed into a beat-juggle"
spriteman14: or something
SurvivedTheCrash: hahahah. just make something up?
SurvivedTheCrash: or if he asked i could have responded with...
SurvivedTheCrash: "shut up you insolent. you're talking to the godfather of hip hop, myself, afrika bambattaa, i dont need to answer to your puny questioning. white boy"
spriteman14: hahahaha

So that was fun. Today wasn't awesome. I didn't get to take a shower... then I worked in the darkroom at lunch for both periods... went through 25 sheets and only maybe 4 (what I would deem) good prints. But that's life sometimes. Bad darkroom days happen. But then I didn't leave the school until 6 because I was working on the retarded senior edition. Fuck that shit. Ferrill.
All I had all day to eat was one solitary Timbit that I stole from Mrs. Staebler's class because they were doing skits and so they had food. I tried to find someone to go to dinner with me tonight, but alas, I found no one. So I got New China and ate at home alone... all alone. ;) But I haven't had root beer with Chinese food in a long time (since when I eat it, I usually just have the Slice that New China has), so that was worth it. (not really)
Then I took Raine to Hoover to take pictures. It was mad muddy. It's kind of weird that I'm just now getting into Hoover. A little late, eh? It was pretty fun, though.
Now I need to do math homework and get to bed. I HAFTA HAFTA HAFTA wake up tomorrow so that I don't go TOO LONG without a shower.
