In other news, my friend Anthony is intimately involved in the Dark Room stuff going on at the Dart Room in Fayetteville, and he's spinning on Friday night. So, he's going to give me a few CDs of some stuff that he'll be playing, mostly darkwave/industrial/EBM type stuff, I think, so that I can make some Bootleg Mashups for him, sort of as sonic tools for him, to make his DJing tasks simpler. But, I've got a few surprises for him up my sleeves. Should be interesting to see if he'll use them.
