Well, I'm really fucking sorry to have inconvenienced you, 'Dark Swan'
(woooh!). First off, I wasn't 'begging' for material, I was inviting it.
Secondly, XFade ain't a "small zine" any more than Rolling Stone is - both
come from major publishing houses and are distributed through the newstrade,
so what's the difference? Thirdly, what the hell is a "small-ass labelhead"?
If techno were left to the "big-ass" labels, it'd die: the best stuff always
comes from the small labels, full stop. What's more, if techno were left to
mags like Rolling Stone it'd suffer a similar fate.
So what's the problem?
To the chap who asked if XFade was a new magazine, yes it is - it started in
September. However I incorrectly stated that it was a sister mag to DJ, when
in fact I should have said Future Music.
C-ya,
TOM

Oh, this one gets the dipshit award for today. I don't know what's more
pathetic: a person writing for a small zine in the UK begging for review
material or a hack living in the biggest music-industry state writing for a
graphic-ass-beautiful US magazine begging like a gimp for freebees from,
admit it, the small-ass labelheads watching these lists. Give me a fucking
break.
Actually, maybe I'm the most pathetic, because I write reviews for Rolling
Stone and I shouldn't stoop to this crass level.
Go bug Alison at Astralwerks or Susan at Nothing, freakshow, and stop this
worthless waste of bandwidth.
