Well, last night's show was easily 20% more shambolic than usual. I actually found myself at the end of the first set with 20 seconds left in the song and nothing cued up. Had to grab a playlist CD I'd reviewed and put it into the player and cue it up while I was talking. The night got better from there it's true, altho I felt like I was having segue/dead air problems all the way through. And the last set I did was way too same-y sounding. Even though it was cutting from RPM to instrumental rock to 20th century classical, it was all kinda quiet, austere stuff (Autechre, Kev Hopper, Carl Ruggles, Jaga Jazzist, etc). But I did have fun with the Eddie Izzard mega-set of cutting between bits of his "Stonehenge" routine and stuff generally louder and rockier than I usually play (inc. Didjits and Judas Priest).
And can I just so how cool it is that Cook Out is still open after midnight when I'm driving home? Sure sure I know that some fries and chicken strips are probably not what I need to be consuming at 12.30 in the AM. But I never did eat any dinner last night. As a bonus, while waiting in line you get to look at their very cool neon sign, complete with giant flaming spatula.
Came home and decompressed: ate my Cook Out meal and watched Scotland and Belarus utterly fail to score any goal at all in World Cup 2006 qualifying. Still early rounds so no one's eliminated but on the other hand, the 1 point for tying is hardly going to improve Scotland's chances of advancing. I need to find a good World Cup or FIFA-related site so I can start figuring out where they are in the process.
