"I hate to tell you this, honey," Carlos said over the phone. "But you really missed out last night."
Alexander Robotnick plays Los Angeles for the first time and I was totally set on going, but then I realized how much work I had to do and how bad my back hurt and how tired I really was. So, while the Usual Suspects were out dancing to house, electro, italo, etc. from the master himself, I was home doing work, thinking about work while watching The Cosby Show and falling asleep for what proved to be a completely miserable night's worth of half-shut eye. I should have just chugged down a soda and a few cigarettes and went out to Avalon.
So, yes, from what I hear, Robotnick is freakin' awesome. Carlos thought he was using Ableton and noted that they ended up staying until 2 a.m. because the mix was so intense. Apparently, Robotnick broke out all the hits, including some Human League, and sang over "Problemes d'amour." Damn. Damn. Damn.
Things are not as bad as they seem, though. Carlos said that his set was baiscally an amalgamation of the mixes he has posted online. Tonight, since I'll be home working all night, I might just listen to every one and pretend I was there.
