    i likes. side b on buscemi's tres lounge remixes on downsall plastics.
    it starts of house 4/4 beat-like and then the vibe kinda changes as the keys
    come in. definitely when the gentle voice comes in: "face down to the
    ground, who's laughing now" so even with the sambaesque beats, it has a sort
    of downtempo FEEL to it for me. it's danceable though, the tempo is not
    slow.
    the second song on side b is an remix of lais: dorothea. it's definitely
    bossa downtempo. very pretty.
    now side a is a remix of calexico's "crystal frontier". that one i don't
    like very much. housy beat, mexican influenced brass and acoustic guitar.

    now regarding duplaix's "manhood"--is there anyone who does not like that
    track? i first heard it the first time gilles played it on his show. for a
    second i thought "god that sounds like some guy did this track on just his
    dinky keyboard." seconds later i was hooked! i was living in london at the
    time and i called a friend in the states and said "listen to this!!"
    when i came back to the states and played it for my roomates they laughed!
    pshaw!

    kelis i saw when she was getting big in the uk. glastonbury 2000. up to that
    point i thought the 2 songs i heard were ok. the show was very energetic but
    that's all it was--energy. she was so off key that it annoyed the hell outta
    me. your show can have fireworks and dancing teddy bears a-la aphex twin at
    roseland but it's gotta sound good!
    (got pics of that btw)

    speaking of annoying singers--the singer on that llorca track (nicole graham
    is it?). too much vibrato. that just ruins people's voices for me. maybe i
    could tolerate the freeform five remix if it doesn't have so much of her
    voice in it-?
