I almost feel bad for the girl. Peaches, that is. She really put on a good show, all by her lonesome up there. But her music ain't too good.

Now, I don't feel sorry for her because she'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Check out her concert dates on her site. This chick works alot. And she gets a good workout on stage too, so she's a healthy one.

Which brings me to the important lesson I learned today... when in doubt if the venue will let you in with your digital camera, take it anyway. Heck, from the balcony, you could see many little camera screens in the crowd. And when she decided to climb up onto the mezzanine, around the several balconies (and right past me), then climb back down to the stage, I couldn't help thinking "this would make a nifty snapshot."

So, let me describe the show in a way that would make any photo seem superfluous...

Just kidding.

Groovy tool alert: the Roland mv-8000, meant to be an mpc killer. Coolest feature: when you record with the mv, then connect to your computer via usb, you can access the mv's 40gb drive as if it were an external unit. Instant connectivity. But there are plenty of cool features to choose from, like support for linking to an Edirol video workstation, a cdrw, pads (forget velocity sensitivity, these things have aftertouch), sequencing, sampling and more, more, more! You know you want it…

I, on the other hand, want one of these.
