after coming home all beaten up from tahoe last night, we went out to see kid koala. normally we just skip the opening acts and waltz in just in time for the main gig. unfortunately we mistimed it, but thank god we did, because that meant we got to see mike relm. who is mike relm? mike relm is the guy who FUCKING KICKED ASS. sure, we all love our turntablists, those phenomenal dj’s who can scratch like a motherfucker. but not only was we doing that, he was also working in and SCRATCHING VIDEO. for example, he used that bit in office space where that drew says, “If things go right I might be showing her my O-face.” and then he scratched the “O” to make a beat in itself, with the video going back and forth as well. fucking brilliant. he threw in stuff from pee wee’s playhouse, pulp fiction, bruce lee flicks, and lots of great other stuff. he’s playing next saturday in chicago. go see him! fly there now and wait!

it’s worth it.

seriously.
