i was making that comment more regarding the total issue, not so much
your comments -- that didn't make a lot of sense to me.
why in the world would i want to forget rich? ..or subliminally banish
him? because he doesn't get paid to play my records, even though i
know him too? (what?)
sure, he's a lightning rod for chatter. but this is the internet,
that's what it's for. rich is a great businessman, a phenomenal dj
(despite himself, lately), and a good guy. and him finding ways to
use new/hip technology to either advance what he's doing, advance
himself, or both, is not exactly news.

Okay, maybe you have missed my point.
My point is that all of the player hating is press for this individual
(whose name I refuse to type). Does he not generate enough of his
own?
My point is that even with all of the things that I find wrong with
him (including his love for the drug-addled portion of the scene), I
think that we should hate the game, not the player.
In otherwords, if you don't like what he does, keep his name out of
your mouth.

isn't it already crystal clear that he's not actually twittering
anyone with
this thing?
traktor is. track names, only. big deal.

I have this belief that all of us are jealous a bit of what he has
accomplished without support from the 313. I have to say that given
that HE has accomplished being a pop icon without being a pop icon,
and people follow (including those on this list) what he does with
intensity.
It is troubling that a post mentioning his name gets many many
responses, yet 313 related music seems to go largely unnoticed. I
currently don't care that he's twittering. He's not following me
yet.
Forget this person, by our press online we subliminally support HIM.
He's not paid to play my records, he knows who I am (I own his old
DAT machine).
It really doesn't matter at all.
This is all I have to say on the matter.

And more than that, what DJ wants to play in front of a
crowd glued to their cellies?
I think it's too late, that's already the norm!
I think Richie is an OK guy -- really, I'm not being sarcastic.
But he
needs to get out of the freaking echo chamber he's built up around
himself. Can you imagine -- just as an example -- Omar-S
twittering
from the DJ Booth? DJ Bone? Buzz Goree? Theo Parrish? Ron Hardy?
Those guys don't need technology to mediate between them and their
audience -- they're ALREADY INTERACTING INTIMATELY WITH THEIR
AUDIENCE.
To be fair to Richie, he's never been an 'extrovert' DJ or
performance
based
DJ. He's probably the one DJ who could get away with tweeting and
make an
'art' of it.
