nov 5 1999 carl cox played an ultimate base night at twilo. Ive heard a lot of djs in my 30 years clubbing, but carl cox is definitely among the top 3 of all time, and never moreso than at his late 90s twilo super sets, 6-8 hours of pummeling techno & groovy house UN-BEAT-A-BLE !!!! his nov. 2009 cielo housey set was good, but didnt really explode into the techno or disco mania i hoped for.

nov 11 1999 pet shop boys were at hammerstein ballroom. attendees incl justine d, ron m & nancianne from staten. I love the psb but i HATED this show !!! the music was flat & canned & the absurd attempt at post-modern theatrical stagecraft lent the night a deadly, ridiculous [in the worst way] boredom & self-inflicted horridness.
here are some of the great songs the psb butchered that night: west end girls. being boring. se a vida e. its only the wind. what have i done to deserve this? can you forgive her? always on my mind. its a sin. i dont know what you want but were not gonna give it 2 ya tonight. its alright. nyc boy. go west. ** of 5 stars I am as big a PSB song fan as you will meet im obsessed but they were SHIIT in concert!! i have never seen them since, but i still love their music.

* finally beavher saved the night as so many times in the 90s: guests incl natane adcock, tessa benson, carmen kass, chloe sevigny, nick marc, dennis from realistics, big bob at the bar & catherine from Oz the waitress. heres frankie's splendid setlist: london calling. take a chance on me. rock this town. rebel, rebel. who can it be now. i melt with you. papa dont preach. dancing with myself. dont you want me. boys dont cry. goody 2 shoes. 99 balloons. ice ice baby [danced this one with ford model natane], this charming man, hungry like the wolf, rock the casbah. BLT, just like heaven, true faith, borderline, cities in dust, dont stop til u get enuf, jessies girl, pass the dutchie, take on me, it takes two, sweet child of mine & sweet home alabama. **** of 5 stars.
beavher in the 90s = instant sunshine!! 10 years gone ....

nov 25 thanksgiving trancegiving at the roxy. a perfecto night with paul oakenfold & dave ralph & hybrid with a live PA. 1999 was paul oakenfold's magic year, as his BBC essential mixes attest. top tune this night was utah saints 'this is not a love song.' Ive been clubbing for 30+ years but this trancegiving debut night and set by oakey at the roxy was among the greatest nights of music Ive ever heard since my first concert in 1971. the music, the vibe, the rave event at the roxy, with oakey at the absolute peak of his skills..... *****+ of 5 stars one of the greatest club nights of my life !!!!!!

nov 27 1999 tiswas at dons with nicks choons the drowners, the last time, what difference does it make, shes in fashion, and shes so high. ***1/2 of 5 stars.
* the same night evan dando & giant sand's howie gelb were at brownies.

nov 29 1999 scotland's Idlewild was at mercury lounge. touring their first LP a very under-rated power pop band, as the years have progressed idlewild got softer & less interesting - an under-rated UK band, but Idlewild were never as good as in 1999.
