hello folks. today, I'll mostly be thinking out loud about the following.....
1) got a treat for you here, probably won't be to everyones taste, but this is the best fanzine I've read in recent years, and they've just put it on the net. a real piece of uk soulboy culture.... http://www.faithfanzine.com/ it's by the guys who used to do the Boys Own fanzines, and also the guys who wrote that great book, last night a dj saved my life. There's not that much up yet, but some of the features they've had in the past have been brilliant. Check the features out for stuff on Ron Hardy, Arthur Russell etc. Also some interesting comments from Daniel Wang, pretty cool. 2) I've been wondering about this Amp Fiddler LP. For a start, I can't listen to Amp Fiddler any more, JT blew it for me. Every time I hear his voice I see visions of JT wagging his finger at me telling me how he sucks!! haha, thats my own fault though, what a clown I am. no, but what I was wondering was, it's being really heavily promoted over here. Full page ads in magazine, life size cardboard cut-outs of mr fiddler in the record shops etc - is this an LP that is expected to crossover? or at least to say, soul heads etc? I'd always imagine that say by comparison, moodymann would sell more records, but then I know very little. I mean, its a pretty cool lp, but I dunno, can alot of people get into it? what do you think? 3) Oh, Jeffery Mills. ho ho, I bought a record by him yesterday, or well I stashed it behind the counter (at a very reasonably priced £4.49). I bought it for this drum track on there, but, oh how I laughed at the front cover.. he's stood in some shop-window dj'ing! has anyone seen that 'exhibitonist' dvd? Is this what the concept is based around? Is dance music so boring that you have to make up concepts like "I wonder what people would think if I dj'd in a shop window all afternoon?" Jesus, they have some poxy dj in selfredges or Harvey Nicholls all day - wheres the difference? note. <THIS IS NOT A POP AT JEFF MILLS, I LIKE HIS MUSIC, I JUST THINK THAT HE CHARGES TOO MUCH FOR HIS RECORDS, THATS ALL> as the man on the street would say "you get me?". alex *cabin fever brain* _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
