Yeah I totally agree with you about Mixmaster Morris he is sorely missed
around here BUT the times you are talking about aren't the very early days
of the list a more like a year or two into its life probably. As for lively
debates inspired by Ken Downie where were you when someone posted the
original track-listing for "Trainer" Plaid's retrospective amonth ot two
back? And people still post excellent live reviews of our favourite artists
all the time. Take for example of the really good and indepth MUTEK reviews
and I even read in the last week a review of a recent Mike P. gig on this
very list! Granted it's getting harder to determine the signal form the
noise but there is still some quality signal out there. You just need to
filter it to your awareness.
