...After an unnotable opening DJ set by DJ Genaside 2, things started off with "Anti Histamine," a B-side that started off as a remake of Blondie's "Heart of Glass." While the chorus was still recognizably Blondie, the song was transformed into a bruised industrial stomp. Tricky's numerous remakes proved to be the high points of the evening.

Megawati Sukarnoputri, whose shock defeat for the presidency in Indonesia's byzantine balloting system Wednesday set off a night of rioting, said she would take the job for "for the sake of the nation."
