Does all of this clammoring by the press about drum'n'bass remind anyone
here of the similar silliness what occurred during the whole Trip-Hop/Tricky/
Massive Attack/Portishead business two summers ago? I can't begin to count how
many d+b articles I've read in the past months [SPIN having the worst 'intro to
techno' article i've ever read]. Trip-hop/downtempo in pop music bever really
became the Next Big Thing that magazine editors had wanted, and I doubt
techno/d+b will be either. Do you want to know why? THERE IS NO LONGER HOUSE
MUSIC ON MTV'S HOUSE OF STYLE!!! Can you believe it? I haven't seen an
installment for a few months, but I did catch the latest one Saturday. And they
played nothing but rock! No Deee-Lite. No Inner City! Not even Robert Miles!
(Fascinating.) Those who quiver about MTV's role in electronic music should use
the above as a reason not to worry.
Time for bed.
