Oh, give me techno, lots of techno in a dark n' smoky nightclub,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride on the drug of choice that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me dance by myself to the 909 thump,
Fill my body with pills until I'm a toxic waste dump,
Then send me off to hospital for a stomach pump,
Don't fence me in.
Apologies to Cole Porter, Roy Rogers and all 313 subscribers

Sometimes I wonder what Techno or music in general means to people. To me
it means
freedom of expression and yet so many times we are all to eager to state
that OUR way is the best and
only way you should feel or listen to music.
If you take drugs (sorry but Alcohol and cigarrettes are drugs) no problem,
if you don't also no problem......lets get back to basics and love what we
love, the music.
I have been meaning to post something like this for a while as I feel that
sometimes we all miss the whole
idea of techno...remember Techno has no boundaries so why should we..

i've gotta agree with that.
i hope you didn't behave hypocritically and refresh yourself
with an
alcoholic beverage after 'lecturing' people about taking
'drugs'. drugs are
an important contributor to dance music culture. it would be
naive to ignore
that.
conservatives that pay out on weed and stimulant whitegoods
whilst happily
sucking down a beer are annoying.
as i enter the older part of my 20's i'm noticing that i'm no
longer in the
younger half of the crowd in clubs - you should accept it as a
compliment
that people think that you look hip enough to be in the
'know'.
as for derrick - the last 4 or 5 times I've seen him he's been
alright......after i see him I always pull out my old mixes of
him from
87-89 on WJLB detroit radio - when he used to work doubles of
eddy grant,
into doubles of liasons dangereuses and scratch in 'can u feel
it', with lil
louis 'music takes me away' mixed over the top followed by
Harry thurman's
disco classic 'underwater' into Todd Terry's 'can u
party'....pretty diverse
s%$t mixed in an adventurous way like it should be.........he
doesn't really
push the envelope any more for me.
