I don't remember my source but I remember reading some press regarding
Craig's new
record/CD and quickly scanning a line about a US tour? Though this would
not be unheard of as
he does come around semi-often...when when when? NYC dates? where where where?
I've seen him dj three times and on the same Detroit level of a
May/Pullen/Saunderson show...was levelled on all three occasions. Sorry
for crossing the Detroit boundary on IDM. Maybe its not as off the mark as
Trent and co.
And on *that* note, as I started that thread ( at least as far as the big
ball of controversy that has stunk up this list for the last 4-5 days ) I
hope that we can move on as many have said. I'm not suggesting that THE
THREAD STOPS WHEN I SAY THE THREAD STOPS! which is silly. Its always
amusing when listers jump in and play list cop, but whatever. Just a
friendly suggestion: lets move, peoples...
an idea, not a dictate but an idea-
anytime that we ( or at least you whiny arguing types ) are going to go to
bat about whose opinion is
right and wrong in:re IDM/industrial/Trent Reznor/ hair length/ knowledge
of sampling/copywright/ who knows the most about blah blah blah blah
blah...why don't we do this?
* state your age ( someone did make a comment of "how old are you"? in
regards to the petty fighting this list sees) this does NOT imply that the
younger are less worthy or intelligent. I know some pretty enlightened 19
year olds who have a lot to say about IDM and also make a lot of it
themselves. I also know some guys/gals who have realy been around who
still don't know SHIT about music. They use age as a crutch for
experience. Lame.
* List 10 LPS/CDS from any genre other than IDM if they are in your collection.
* Do you make music? d.j. ? write?
* Are your professionally involved in the music industry?
As with age, the other three points are irrelevant except in context. No
one is smarter or better in any way implicitly because of their music
collection, music making habits or career.
However, it * CAN* say a hell of a lot about the quality of your arguments
and provide all of the readers with a bit of a background. The digital
barrier of the internet can be a nice shield against peoples blatant
ignorance and utter stupidity.
Again, I can't stress this enough: its not about age, music collection,
music making habits or career. However, it will certainly let us all know
where you *realy* stand in relation to your arguments.
The flamers could respond: I don't see the point. Why should anyone know
about my private life? What does age have to do with it? Why should I own
anything more than my Aphex Twin and Orb records? Why should i make music
or d.j. to argue about music? What does my *job* have to do with it?
nothing at all realy, its just nice to get a fighters *stats* before they
get in the ring.
let the games begin....if I jump in the ring, I'll be sure to do what I've
suggested.
np: my cat meowing for breakfast, running shower, ice cream truck outside,
birds,
the new Speedy J turned down quiet ( what a strange turn for Papp...cool! )
