I'm one of just a few idiots who've been with The Space Cowboys since the beginning, and that includes the first Breakfast of Champions party back in the olden days. For the most part, all the parties blur together for me, but that's nice in a way because it feels like all the highlights are from one big epic event. This last BoC was the 10th anniversary, and that meant it was an important landmark for me -- it meant that I've officially been doing this shit way too fucking long. I won't lie, I've talked about retiring my headphones several times over the last couple years, but then one of our big events rolls around, like BoC, and I think to myself, "Retire from this? You're fucking nuts!"
My usual M.O. is to bring a bunch of music and then just play to the party's vibe. But for BoC I knew I'd be playing early, before outside was open. There's no such thing as a warm up set at BoC. As Kapt'n Kirk put it, "People who show up early expect to have their asses handed to them from the very beginning." So I knew I had to come in with a crushing set (I crush you!). I also wanted to come in with a bunch of different styles, and even different tempos. I'm kinda ADD (as if you hadn't noticed), and when I play I like to run through different themes and flavors, and in this case that meant pulling in rock, hip hop, classic rave, and some funny shit Henry Rollins said that makes me laugh every time I hear it (see: track 17 - AC Slater's Play The Record Again). - 8Ball
