anyone catch Michael McDonald (aka, Ryan Monroe from BOH) doing covers (as sung by Michael McDonald) poolside for the bingo tournament?  That was some funny shit!  His cover of Ween's Bananas and Blow took the cake!

Sure did. Had the pleasure of sitting in small circular pool with JohnnyYac playing bingo (that is until they fixed the speaker near us which made it way too loud). Found humor how many thought it was actually Michael McDonald. And props to the bingo people for giving the BIG bday celebration for my buddy's 7yo son Atley.

lol.. guys, this is what they do at many rap shows or dj sets with hip hop roots.  a regular dj set, at least in the dance music world, is more about the music and how you weave things together, attempting to create a situation where the sum is greater than the parts.  This doesn't apply to guys like Steve Aoki or other novelty, non talent acts.  However, in hip hop culture, it's about the dude that has the controls and hopefully not the microphone.  They will cut it when they feel like it. 

I think maybe the band's sense of humor got in the way of their sensibility on this one, if in fact they were the ones choosing the artists.

Stevie- did you watch/listen to Biz's set?  If so, did you stick around for any sizable amount of time?  I think many of us have seen DJ sets before.  Biz was f'n awful.  It's one thing for an occasional cut in the music, interplay with the crowd, etc.  Biz cut that music often and hard, and at the absolute worst times.  He sucked!

Oh, no i wasn't there at all actually.    Sorry, maybe my post was confusing.  Was not debating that it was probably awful, just trying to shed some light on the situation.  I've walked away from countless other situations at festivals and what not for the same reason.  Even some of the EDM guys do this now.  They can't keep their voice out of the performance and it's often times a huge mistake.

^^^This.  He was TERRIBLE.  ADD times one thousand. The absolute worst.

I'd love to see the accumulation of comments about BizMarkie in the survey from Cloud9. They specifically asked about the late night performers. I was kind about most everything in my survey except for that.

You know, I didn't give any poor feedback; I was thinking only of the great memories.  Whoops!

I'm a big hip-hop fan and I've seen plenty of DJ sets. This was not any attempt to weave things, be artistic or do anything creative. It was AWFUL.

The only thing I took away was Biz said lets play clips for the masses, they won't know the difference. 

F THAT.

I gave plenty of praise where applicable, but we have to be completely honest when providing feedback. These trips are very expensive and we should be able to honestly discuss with C9 what we liked and what we did not like. It's totally fair and they do want to know. I'm watching what's happening with the Widespread Panic trips C9 does and they're struggling. They need to change venues (been in the Dominican for 3 years) and they need the customer feedback to determine the best venue. My wife and I agreed we wouldn't go back to Panic if it stayed at the Dominican and thus we didn't go this year.
