Peep this. I just got back from a reception held in honor of washington university getting the archives of the brother who directed EYES ON THE PRIZE as well as MALCOLM X and a couple of other documentaries. So we get the videos, the notes on the videos, all of the interviews, EVERYTHING that was involved in making each of these documentaries.
So I'm talking to the Assistant Director of Collections...and he asks me if there is anything that I'd be interested in getting. I'm just a year out of grad school, and still just happy to be here. I didn't even know we could ASK..... But it got me thinking. There are a number of spots on the web where we can here old school wizard tapes (well, not that many, but you know what I'm talking about), and there are places like Groovetech that has an archive so to speak of the first DEMF. Is there an archive of Detroit techno? Or even dance music broadly considered? Another question....something me and Dan Sheridan have been kicking around a bit. Would some people be interested in getting together during the weekend to talk about the scene from an artistic/intellectual/academic level? I don't know what the contours of this project would be partially because I'm still buzzing on champagne....but I think it is important PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE HI-JACKING OF THE DEMF for people who care about the scene to try to take it back in as many ways as possible.... peace lks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
