I'll start with the other stuff first. I'm going to be looking to book a couple shows for June/July, so if you've got an event/night/whatever that is primarily IDM or experimental electronic music in Seattle, Portland, SF, or LA, or you want to fly my ass somewhere else, and you want to add a Micronaut Elektron Fiesta (fuck a laptop; I've got gear) to your bill, drop me a line. By the same token, if you're aware of same but not directly involved in booking, go ahead and post in the comments, as the information will no doubt be useful to others.
As for the open thread topic, I've been pondering this for a few years now, and I think I'm maybe 10 months from deciding for sure, but "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" is just starting to take the lead in my mind as Best Soul/Funk Side Ever Cut. It is edging out Bill Withers' "Use Me." But I could be persuaded that Bill could win. I think the production in the Stevie Wonder song is a little bit better. Maybe.
