Live at Liv


Josh n Curt of Flosstradamus are gonna be in town today to dj with me at Liv tonight. Do it.


EDIT: For anybody that attended, I think you'll agree that the boys started off mad rough on Wednesday. At ~1am I left em 'round the 125bpm world, and they came on w/ some 11pm openers. Hypnotize anybody? Then they took the fateful step into a reggae set -- side note to anyone who plans/hopes/will play/attend Liv, they don't do reggae. Not even a little. -- which put them about one song away (cue text msgs flying all around and undergarments knotting up) from getting yanked (15 minutes into their set). Anyways, after rationalizing, I got ushered into dropping a 'subtle' hint, and thankfully they took note and proceeded to rock the club. Glad that they were not added to the Liv graveyard.

Speaking of Quality Control . . .

I'm back in Miami, and we've got a party celebrating that fact (seriously?!) goin down this Thursday!  

*Edit: Josh & Curt will be rolling through post-'their show' at the Fifth.  A lil Contradamus goin down.

Behold the flyer:


If you can read that small, you'll see that the flyer was designed by Shawn Wolfe!  

Now, for those that may not have been graphic design-nerds like myself, Mr. Wolfe is a super-accomplished artist.  I was definitely inspired by his works when I was heavy into the design world; I even bought his book Uncanny for myself as a Christmas present.


That said, take another look at the flyer he produced.  Go ahead, drink it in.  


Now, take a look at some of his other pieces below - and/or check out his online gallery.







Did you by any chance notice a small difference in the quality of the pieces?

Granted, I've seen some horrible flyers before; and this doesn't qualify as one of them.  Its just that when I found out who did the flyer, that he even branded it w/ his Beatkit ("The RemoverInstaller"), I was stupified.  I'd rather have been left thinking it was done by a 37-yr-old trying to rip-off a Freegums design.  
Actually, I would have really rathered seeing Alam Lohar's cassette design as the flyer!  I mean seriously!!  Look at that shit!  Its on some futuristic throwback amazingness!!

Here's to No QC in '08!
