Live From Short Attention Span Theatre (CD + DVD): KID KOALA's brilliant live tour is captured on two formats. They toured the country with 8 turntables - Koala, P-Love, and Jester each handling different elements of the material from "Some of My Best Friends are DJs" and the music behind "Nufonia Must Fall," to create a turntable band.
DVD also includes 3 shorts from MONKMUS, who made the genius "Basin Street Blues" video (also included) plus the video for Fender Bender.

Customer Reviews:
modest live effort.......2005-03-17
The liner notes are very humorous and creative and had me in stiches.
Finally to get to the content of the album. Sure, you'd be better off to find some unreleased live material as the choices of songs for this live disc isn't really up to Koala's par, but, being the first officially mass produced dvd/cd ep of live material, i'm not complaining. Its well worth the money, especially hearing the live versions of the Nufonia Must Fall soundtrack, it was great to see how it was assembled. Also i must point out that the dvd does show part of Kid Koala's humor, little breaks in between songs where he says things like, "we call this the short attention span tour because all the dj's are under 5'6" its very refreshing and i wish i had more words to express why Koala is one of my favorite DJ's out there.
All in all a great decision for Ninja Tune records... it was about time they gave us a sampling of Kid live...can't wait till he rolls into town again!
This doesn't capture Kid Koala's true talent.......2005-03-15
The DVD is the highlight of the package. It features 3 short films by Monkmus, and his video for "Basin Street Blues", also included as a CD extra on the "Some of My Best Friends are DJ's" album. Although the live performances were satisfying, the running time of the DVD is only 30 minutes. The CD is only 16 minutes long, and features the exact same recordings of the songs that are included on the DVD.
16 minutes (5 songs) does not capture what Kid Koala can do live. Aside from seeing him live, I've heard several unreleased mixes (Breezeblock mixes, Essential mixes) that blows this material out of the water. If you are starving to "see" Kid Koala live, behind the decks for roughly 16 minutes, then buy it. If not, then I suggest you look into some of his live unreleased material; which is mind-blowing, and much longer than 16 minutes.
