DJ SHADOW aka WEAK ASS SHOW
Decided to venture out of the comfy confines of the little town i live in and go with the crew out to Osaka to see DJ Shadow. Sampled some of his stuff before hand, sounded good to go and was really pumped up. Got to the club, chilled a bit and listened to some DJs i never heard of before tear up the floors. Was having a good time. Then came on Shadow and his buddy, they said "We love music" and we gonna sample some stuff today, and thats why we love it here in Japan. And boy did they sample, old ass funk for 2 hours straight, at first it was cool then after 10 minutes or show it got lame. No mixing, no nothing, just put on a disc and walk away. Had more fun ordering food and drinks and reading what other DJs to go to. What a total disappointment, weak as showing, that wasnt a performance, that wasn't a performer, that was a job that some grandpa could have done. Even after the show we saw Shadow and Mike tried to run up to him and give him some props, but even he didnt even want to have anything to do with anyone, weak with a capital "W". Anyways caught some way betta tunes when the crazy nihon jin DJs came up aka Beat B Boyz .. and tore up the dance floor with their DnB. At least got to hear some good stuff at the end. It was fun overall with everyone, had a good time minus the main act. Early morning train it was, got back around 900am ish ... nice and early to see the sun.
