The show was cool, but I wanna talk about the stuff I didnt like.. I am sure a lot of people did enuf asskissing after/during the show.
first of all GALGUCCI -COOCHIE = Plastiq Phantom
the guy already released a full length album on a major label... I dont know if its right to have him as a contestant, it would make more sense to have upcoming people who are unsigned... may be make him a judge, since the ones last nite kept voting for the guy who was looping mp3s he dowloaded.
...SYZYGY... what was up with that guy, there was not one part of track that was self produced, all of the music was looped from commercial tracks.. thats called Plaigrism... And the judges ignored it both times and he was playing obvious tracks, people next to me recognized too...
I am sure it is fun to watch him, but I paid 10 bucks to get in.. which was not worth it.... to watch some dude loop other peoples tracks...
Oh the MC.. I have a a suggestion about that.. kill him and leave him in a ditch cause he blows chunks, by far the most irritating person on the stage... the guy cant rap or beatbox... so just kill him, sweet mother of God kill him please...
to some dudes who played last nite: Downloading some loops and running them through Smartelectronix plugins is not IDM, Its not shit.. you know who you are.. stop trying to look cool and make someting INTELLIGIBLE (dance music)...
Thats it.. I hope it will get better over time, some of the performances were good to watch,.. some of them were ok...
My suggestions
-get real judges not some drunken super white hipsters
-its not worth 10 bucks, and it never will
-screen the contestants better
-its not live
other suggestion is:
have different category, where its fair game like:
give everyone a cdr with bunch of samples (drum loops, hits, synth sounds) and give 30-60 minutes to come up with a song thats between 2-5 minutes, where they use ONLY THE SAMPLES that were given to them, no additional samples, no voice genarators like synths etc.. all the sounds have to be from the samplesthey can use fx to manipulate the sound but no additional synth parts etc...
Play the samples to audience, so they know what the samples were.. and then let the guys get on the stage a compete, live or just hit play, like half the people tonite did... but then it makes it fair because they ACTUALLY did USE their laptops other then hitting play and jumping around like monkeys or they to look like they are doing anything.
I still think the laptop battle is great idea... just needs work.. a lot of work.
glad someone is doing it.
thanks
get rid of the MC.
