I'd love to have regular access to Urb, but they don't have very good distribution apparently. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Tamara Palmer wouldn't consciously plagarize anyone. She may have actually read that web page, and unconsciously borrowed a phrase, but so what? TP has done more to raise awareness of good electronic music than anyone else in the country -- she is EVERYWHERE -- I don't know when she sleeps! No magazine is perfect, but Urb tries real hard, and deserves some credit, ESPECIALLY for the way that they cover a lot of different genres, and find the connections between them. Damn! I wish I could subscribe! --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Psyche manifests as psychic through something we call 'winding', because it twists, and puts things that were far apart next to each other, complicatedly, taffywise." -- winona on channel 78 Kent Williams kent@inav.net -- http://soli.inav.net/~kent

I agree totally with this. Yes, they spread themselves too thin but their attitude is solid. I made a similar argument for Grand Royal a few months back (not to drag KW into that), but I feel that right attitude goes a long way to justify journalistic and editorial faux pas. I'd rather read the right thing written wrong than the wrong thing written right. Right on URB! Charlie James
