    I went to a festival and he went up on stage. I was so excited. He started getting ready and testing the provided equipment and EVERYTHING was fucked. He apologizes (not his fault) and told us all that we’ll have to deal with an improvised set. He then proceeded to play an hour of some of the best live music I’ve ever seen, busting out the vocoder for a lot of it (I am a slut for vocoder.) He is absolutely incredible.

      Its like the total opposite of the whole don’t meet your heroes thing that happens so often lately too, where ive been listening to his music forever buti hadn’t seen any of his online presence until a couple years ago, and i was so incredibly pleased to find out he has entirely based opinions. He seems like just an absolute prime example of humanity.

        He seems like a fuckin swell dude. It’s a shame that shitty people bullied him out of doing gear reviews, he was so passionate about that stuff. Alas, people online suck.

          I didnt hear about that, what happened? Honestly he seems totally genuine and you know he’s not in it for the money since he uploaded his own albums to bittorrent just to protest itunes stealing his music.
