Sarah's already covered the Karsh Kale portion of last night's show so I'll just move on to the rest of the evening. Like I said in my comment to her post, Ming + FS rocked hard, especially considering the sparseness of the crowd. Early in the M+FS set I was chatting with fellow XDU DJ Bruce H. and we agreed that we'd expected the house to be if not packed then at least more sizeable than it was. Oh well. Y'all missed out.
Along with their "Immigrant's Song"/"Intergalactic" mash-up, M+FS also did a bunch of live remixing as well as some straight-up DJing and some of their own material. Not as much from Subway Series as I was hoping. MC Napoleon Solo (bonus pts for gratuitious 60s TV reference) was there to drop rhymes and encourage voter registration. Ming popped some tasty hard rock gee-tar riffs into the mix. FS played some bass, did some beatboxing, and plenty o' supa-fast scratching. //aside: I had no idea there was now digital scratchin'// MCNS came out in a GW Bush mask for one number. Then, later in the set, they all masked up (Ming as GHW Bush, Solo as GWB, and FS as Dick Cheney) and got down to "Jungle Boogie." Oh yeah, and P-Funk was also deployed at some point.
...good times...
