Again, look at my quote from above, I did not slander anyone, only
questioned the Kontrol guys booking preferences. But I guess in SF
that means that I'll have a promoter cry to a producer, cite my emails
out of context, and have him personally attack me.
If you're referring to me, I am not in SF, I am in LA. I am not a
promoter. I have nothing to do with the Kontrol promoters. It
appears from other peoples' e-mails that there may be a "Greg"
involved with Kontrol, but that is not me.
Anyone on this list who knows me (and there are many - I've been
here for over 8 years now) knows that I do not name drop to name
drop - I've known John Tejada for over 10 years now, his paramour
Lynn Hasty used to put on the best Electronic Music shows in LA and
I went to nearly all of her events and met them both very early on.
I have also known Justin Maxwell (through the SoCal-Raves mailing
list) ever since he was in his teens and used to hang out with him
a fair bit before he moved up to Oakland.
To me, your comments about the promoters only booking "trendy/popular"
producers/musicians were a back-handed insult to John & Justin as far
as I was concerned. Given that you had already made a comment about
how they "lacked in depth and emotion" and "play[ed] to the crowd,
incorporating electro-clash guitar samples and a whole slew of quirky
and gimmicky ``glitch'' sounds", I felt compelled to come to their
defense. Maybe I overreacted, but if you knew well-known musicians
and you felt they were unfairly slagged on a public mailing list you
were on, you'd probably feel compelled to do the same.
