[Dynagroove] DJ Harvey..? SF sat nite?

[Cade O Nelson]

I agree..

 I used to think harvey was the shit....  Now I think he just plays like
it... his sloppy style and eratic volume and EQ work turns me off..  Even
his track selection is nothing special anymore.  There was a time when
Harvey would play a 8 hour set and only play 2 records I was familiar
with.  But now it seems like he is just playing the same shit everyone
else is only slower and more eratic with the EQ.  Tis a shame because
harvey used to be one I was dying to see...  Now I would just rather
listen to little chris...  He is the man..
