Well a good topic for the locals of So Cal. Unfortunately, I have never listened to his show Metropolis, so I can't comment on that! I discovered Bruno's show on KCRW last Dec when home for the holidays as I was trying to find a station with the NPR news on it. I was thrilled to hear what he was playing. THe next week, I bought 5-6 Quango releases! I don't know what his OLD Metropolis show was like, nor his KROQ show. I hate KROQ so I don't give them my ear no matter who is on the radio. IF Poorman came back to LOVELINES I'd listen again! SO jason doesn't dance to his music. Uh, first of all its not HIS music. He's not an artist, just a DJ/label owner.Second, whether or not he dances to the music should not be the focal point of his worth. If he sucks as a DJ so be it, IMHO all Dj's are lame b/c they are worshipped by so many rave kids for doing virtually nothing. Kids are paying more for DJ mixtapes than we pay for the latest FSOL. However, I think the Quango comps should be given much credit. If it were not for the Quango Taste of Pork CD I would have discovered Pork at a much later date than I did. To be honest I think I was one of the First people on this list to mention PORK to the list a year ago. Quango is a great label for the fact that they try to cover all types of dance music. Try Quango SPORT for feel-good jungle, or that Global... for housey stuff, they even have a Carribean sounding release that is dancey. Quange covers a wide spectrum of sounds my friends. I read recently that they are going to begin looking to release full-lengths by artists. This will be extremely interesting in my opinion. ONE thing I thought everyone here would get a kick out of is that when I listen to Bruno's show "Short Wave" on KCRW he often says things like "... bringing you the best in INTERNATIONAL DANCE MUSIC...." or something to that effect. Hmmmmm... wonder where he came up with International Dance Music? Sounds familiar, eh just my opinions, btw when is his Metropolis show (now that it sucks I wanna hear it) gmv500@earthlink.net
