Adam 'student dj' Freeland, I see you. It's a sad site

Is LA trying to start a NYE Love Parade type thing ? Funny how electronic dance music (no matter how crap) is tolerated, advertised even, when you want to create a massive event to hype up a city.

But do it out in the desert where it doesn't disturb anybody and shit happens ( http://ravebust.castpost.com ).

I mean, Adam Freeland plays what I'll call britpop trance : UK rock with a clubby 4/4 kick drum underneath. This is an especially vicious formula aimed at taking advantage of large crowds of drunken kids and rich event promoters.

Gosh, I guess the circa-'97 U of M student paper reviewer who said they'd be remembered more than the Chemical Brothers was... uh, OK, still wrong, but.

Also, why did I know instinctively before clicking on the link that Black Eyed Peas would be involved? And since when did they have a chimp in their logo?

Maybe it's because some chimps are attracted to the smell of urine.
