sorry the interviews suck. maybe I'll just cut them out of the archives from now on.
I liked that superpitcher interview though!

as for this: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Nobody in this thread could conduct a better interview. Be thankful he does what he does. -- cdwill (use...), September 21st, 2005.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let me say. HA! "Be thankful he does what he does"? Yeah, i wouldn't know about Superpitcher or Linstrom if they didn't appear on B.I.S. What service is B.I.S. providing that isn't already flooding the P2P networks? I can download hundreds of hours of killer DJ sets anytime i want whether Beats In Space hosts them or not. I'm quite certain having a 5 year old ask Superpitcher what his favorite toys were as a kid would be just as interesting as the interview at the end of his B.I.S. set.

to follow up my last point, there aren't a ton of radio stations in the greater NYC area playing this kind of stuff. Actually, there are two, WFMU and WNYU, and maybe Barnard. Not sure what the status of Columbia's station is. So having live DJ sets by the likes of superstars such as Lindstrom, Optimo, Superpitcher, Crazy Rhythms etc is quite a service.
― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 17:00 (7 years ago) Permalink
I will state here that i have overwhelmingly enjoyed listening to the B.I.S. sets i've downloaded and look forward to exploring more sets (Recommendations Here please!) in the future. I just wish Tim would capitalize on the opportunity and ask some good questions of his guests.

also judging by BIS setlists (I don't always get to listen to the show live), and the Our Disco set, and the Backlash set he did for ourselves in Dublin, Tim knows his music plenty.
And I mean, on further reflection that Superpitcher interview pretty much was the first time I ever heard him talk, and it felt very like his persona, so if the main skill of interviewing is getting the subject to relax then Tim did fine.
(while we're here, anyone know what the techy track Superpitcher plays that samples "Plastic Doll" by Dharma is. it's not DJ T, though I know there are probably a few electrohouse tracks that sample that tune)

I was standing outside Love that night with some people and we couldn't figure out how the hell to get into the fucking place.

Victor seems like a combination of a real person mixed with one of the fake callers from the Best Show On WFMU. I don't doubt he works on Wall Street and all, but the constant bragging about himself (I make millions! I have parties every week with a 100 people!) combined with the death threats and the insults is a bit too much.
Really interesting/surreal show though.
