I think it's that way everywhere, this was definitely a "roll your own" gig, it was at a venue that normally doesn't have music, kind of a test run. We were the 2nd of 3 acts, the first was a singer/pianist who did Brecht/Weill tunes and her own similar material, and the last act was a duo doing Massive Attack-like triphop songs. The show was very well attended, and people stuck through our noise, it was actually pretty well received. It feels kind of strange, after almost 20 years of playing weird music to empty rooms in this area, now I'm starting to be treated as some kind of elder statesman :-) But I do feel that there's a bigger audience for left-of-mainstream music now than ever before. More and more people are realizing there's music beyond the playlist of their local Clear Channel affiliate, thanks to the Internet, to the few remaining alternative radio stations that have survived deregulation of the broadcast industry, and to whatever other outlets people are using to find the music. > >Anyway, I haven't gotten to the huge files as I'm >using a dial up at home, but I do plan to load the >rest up.

Nope, I think JD was just trying to thank people for hanging on :-) That tune was our Sun Ra tribute moment...
