in lieu of, etc.

saturday night was inlieuof at Smalls in Hamtramck:


larger photo here click it, they're pretty.

as always, they put on a most fabulous show, it was great to see them in a better space - link to their myspace site forthcoming when myspace stops being broken. these kids are definitely going to be one of detroit's little rocker darlings! just wait. sensuous fuzzy, flangy basslines are the new black. wait...those were always quite black. nevermind. ;)

off to hit the best hardware store in metro detroit. nothing says love like multiple colors of spray rubber! seriously, best material ever. wanted to get an earlier start in the studio this morning but apparently the next episode of cops was being filmed in my building last night.

but good news on the studio front - the cranbrook art museum store, pure detroit design lab, and record time will all be selling the cyberoptix dj/messenger bags:

(email yours truly if you'd like to reserve one before the rest goes in stores). comfortably holds 40 records and pair of big headphones - can be stuffed with much more.

and as always, there is a most excellent and most PROPER event in the works for later on this summer. ;)
