Does the moderator have a moral obligation to end all communication that is not music related?, do we as a community have a say in keeping certain threads alive? does it matter? We are all here together, If an isolated person goes nuts, I think they should probably be removed, but if this list was nothing but album reviews by amatuers, I will be leaving soon. sincerely, Benjamin I Zavodnick p.s. note my email in case I disappear in the night On Tue, 8 May 2001 23:07:47 -0700 "brian rachielles" <clickpop@hyperreal.org> writes:

I *wish* this list was nothing but album reviews by amateurs. Especially by amateurs. Not musicians reviewing each others work (you carry your own biases into your reviews and it's just not relevant to me), and certainly not "professional" reviewers who are usually either too close to the industry to give an honest, simple response, or too busy suckling at the artist's breast to really say anything worthwhile. Unfortunately, of course, none of this is here anymore. Instead, we get to hit the delete key eight hundred million and two times a day as every new initiate to the list either complains about "the state of idm today" or whines on about what type of toilet paper does Aphex use and to Autechre like to starch their shirts. Personally, I'll bet Squarepusher likes to shower whilst wearing a kilt, and I've heard Freeform really likes chutney, but only on Good Friday. --- Benjamin I Zavodnick <bzavodnick@juno.com> wrote:

Personally, I'm not interested in what anyone has to say about music unless I know that they like stuff that I do for similar reasons. There are a few people on this list that have hyped groups that I like that I pay closer attention to than others. --- Adam Piontek <apiontek@yahoo.com> wrote:

well, that's exactly what this list is useful for--lurk for a while and see what people say about the various albums and artists they listen to, and then pay more attention to those whose tastes seem to match yours in other areas. i've come across some really excellent stuff that way. not to mention the advance notice of various tour dates. i'll keep posting the occasional note about something i've liked that i haven't heard too many other reviews of...i hope it's as useful to others as it is to me when you guys do that :) -rachel (aka dj pie)
