(idm) one slightly important point...
permalink · <001901bf949e$13344700$b31f3c3e@GraVoice>
after a few weeks (or is it months?) reading all the ranting and raging that's been going on here, something occurred to me the other day about auctions and trading music etc. I'm presuming a lot of the people doing the attacking / belittling of people who undertake auctions/sales/trades whatever...are either artists or "important" DJs. One thing you might like to remember is that the very people you castigate for selling/trading music are the very people who "buy" your own music and therefore create your "livelihood". For instance, I subbed to the list about a year and a half ago...never heard of Chocolate Industries/ Schematic/ Toshoklabs et al, shit even Skam didn't rate that highly on my purchases list (!) But after undertaking my first few trades I began to discover all these labels/artists that had previously escaped my attention and I have to say I was (am) hooked. Over the past year especially I've never "Bought" so much music in my life! I also have traded/sold a load of stuff too...I like the way it works. Fuck, I would never even heard of "Dated" ... imagine that!?! As just a "collector" rather than a "creator" of great music maybe my opinion seems unworthy to you, but maybe some of the reactions round here are turning people off...and us collectors certainly have a big part to play in the success of this music/list.....just a thought. cheers. graham jega web is online http://www.jega.madvision.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i'm just some guy, not a dj or a label. in fact, i'm lowlier than just some guy. i'm a a newbie. but what i don't like about want/auction/trade/sales lists is they're kind of in-your-face and invassive and annoying. like brock said in a previous post, just a link or request for private reply is more appropriate. less in-your-face and annoying. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
