Grace Jones is awesome, but she is only one act of many
The crowd has changed at Sonar too, much in the same way that Movement's
seems to have changed.
And Sonar is now more notable for the off-Sonar events than the main
events themselves.

You do get a glimpse of Minx, briefly.  Not that she doesn't deserve
recognition, but in terms of the video as a whole she's the person
featured least likely to be a draw for the Moby fans.

Paxahau are trying to run this as a going concern, and when your
concern is how many bracelets you sell, you are going to try and
feature people who might have some appeal beyond the rabid techno
fans, like the people on this mailing list.  And in case you haven't
noticed, as a cohort, 313 listers are aging out of the festival-going
age group.  What percentage of people under 25 even know what an
E-Mail list is? We are not the people for whom Paxahau is working so
hard to make a festival.

We could have a perfect DEMF for the 313 list, but there's only 442 of
us (I just counted), and even if we could count on the general
awesomeness of any festival WE curated drawing 20 times that many
people, it wouldn't begin to pay for itself.  Plus even if the lineup
was generated by the 313 list, there'd still be all sorts of hating
going on about it.

If you're going to the festival, look at the afterparties, too.  Maybe
it's just me but there are more opportunities to see really fantastic
lineups for dirt cheap than ever before.  And you can see Omar-S
during the day at a rooftop party!

Well said Kent.

I'm really excited about a lot of the afterparties.  And even though
there is a lot of silliness booked for the festival every year, there
are a lot of great musicians that I can't wait to see perform.  The
fact that Al Ester and Stacey Hale are spinning, even though they are
not producers, is pretty cool.  They have been taking care of
Detroit's electronic music scene for decades.  Minx is playing the
main stage - in the afternoon - but it's the main stage!  All the
Submerge people playing, I'll be excited to see them too.  And the
electrobounce/Starski  Clutch business should be great as usual.

Obviously that promo video is not meant for us or for most
Detroiters.  Paxahau is trying to keep this festival going, and even
though they are not putting on a Detroit music festival and they
don't do a good job in getting Detroit residents to attend,
particularly young people, this festival is still happening here and I
think that's a good thing.  It would be so fabulous if it really was a
festival that was about Detroit music and that drew a larger local and
African American crowd.  I would love to know if the festival planners
actually have conversations about these issues when they plan the
festival.  I wonder if they debate whether or not to extend a discount
or free entry to Detroit residents.  I wonder if they really think
Moby is the shit.  I wonder if they really are big fans of Benny
Benassi.

I think it's way more complicated than just Paxahau is racist or
they are just a bunch of guys from the suburbs who don't care about
Detroit.

 Minx is playing the main stage - in the afternoon - but it's the main stage!

As she has done before. That was the year my friend Keleigh was in
charge of the press passes, so I was able to get pics of Minx and
others from right behind the decks...

It's not a big secret that the daytime main stage slots are actually
the booby prizes of the festival. It can be rainy, or hot, or both,
and the crowd seems to not be much into it until the sun starts going
down.

 I wonder if they really think Moby is the shit.  I wonder if they really are 
 big fans of Benny
 Benassi.

I think when you promote shows for a living your standards are a
little different.  You want to make money -- not just greed at work,
but also the 'pinball' part of the job -- if you win you get to keep
playing.  You want to work with people who are professional, and not a
pain in the ass.  Benny and Rich are successful professionals who are
guaranteed draws.

And whatever you might think about their music, or whether they should
be headlining at DEMF, it's clear to me that they both were thrilled
to be there.  You might think they're soulless hacks, but they're not
dumb and they know what Detroit means to dance music.  In a sense,
Moby and Benny need Detroit a hell of a lot more than Detroit needs
them.

 I think it's way more complicated than just Paxahau is racist or
 they are just a bunch of guys from the suburbs who don't care about
 Detroit.

While I might quibble with some of Paxahau's decisions artistically, I
think it's grossly unfair to talk sh1t about their motivations.
Paxahau would be just fine without the festival -- in fact
financially, they might actually be better off not doing it.  Paxahau
does the festival because they want the festival to continue, because
they believe in it's importance to Detroit, and because doing a
festival of this scale successfully is a huge accomplishment.

I can't help but feel like you guys are directing these comments at me
because I know you both read my blog.  I just wanted to point out two
things

1) I asked the question IS Paxahau racist?, I didn't claim that they
were, necessarily.  I am really really glad that the festival is still
going on, and Paxahau is doing a great job.
2) The dramatic change in the percentage of black performers to white
performers between 05 and 06 is a fact.  Whether or not that was a
conscious decision on Paxahau's part is clearly unknown.  But the
facts are the facts, the festival got a lot whiter when white people
were given control of it.  And I think that's a shame, and I don't see
what's wrong with pointing it out.

Ok, I don't think I have EVER written this much to this list.

Frank, I think that the data that you put together and your analysis
of it all is really important.  Yes, you put the words Paxahau and
racist together, but I have also heard a lot from local DJs and
producers in interviews I have been doing over the past year and five
months here.  Some are critical, some are not, some are on the fence.
So right now, that's where I'm coming from.

And...Carol Marvin is white :)
But I read ya loud and clear!

Alright now, goodnight!

 I can't help but feel like you guys are directing these comments at me
 because I know you both read my blog.  I just wanted to point out two
 things

 1) I asked the question IS Paxahau racist?, I didn't claim that they
 were, necessarily.  I am really really glad that the festival is still
 going on, and Paxahau is doing a great job.
 2) The dramatic change in the percentage of black performers to white
 performers between 05 and 06 is a fact.  Whether or not that was a
 conscious decision on Paxahau's part is clearly unknown.  But the
 facts are the facts, the festival got a lot whiter when white people
 were given control of it.  And I think that's a shame, and I don't see
 what's wrong with pointing it out.

 Me again...  :)

 I don't think the Paxahau folks are a bunch of racists or don't care
 about Detroit.  But that is often the general consensus by many
 critics.  I am really interested in their motivations and personal
 histories with Detroit.  I've interviewed one of the Paxahau DJs and
 we talked a bit about this.  Trying to interview Jason Huvare, but
 that probably won't happen until after the festival.


 I think it's way more complicated than just Paxahau is racist or
 they are just a bunch of guys from the suburbs who don't care about
 Detroit.

 While I might quibble with some of Paxahau's decisions artistically, I
 think it's grossly unfair to talk sh1t about their motivations.
 Paxahau would be just fine without the festival -- in fact
 financially, they might actually be better off not doing it.  Paxahau
 does the festival because they want the festival to continue, because
 they believe in it's importance to Detroit, and because doing a
 festival of this scale successfully is a huge accomplishment.

2009-05-07 Thread kent williams
Carole Marvin being white, actually, was neither here nor there.
That's a whole long crazy story, which you've probably heard most of.
It started out the first year she was content to have Carl be Artistic
director, and she was content to leverage her experience with the Jazz
Festival to help put something together on the Plaza.  At some point,
though, she kind of lost the plot, and fired Craig, I guess because
she felt like the festival was 'hers.'  Unfortunately she'd fired a
massively popular figure locally and internationally, and came off
looking pretty Lady Macbeth.  She put on the festival in 2002 with a
group of people who traditionally did not get along with the 'Detroit
Inner Circle' so well, and ... well I'm sure you can read up on it.

She still owns the trademark on DEMF as far as I know.  I feel kind of
sorry for her because she went from hero to villain in Detroit, and I
don't know if she ever quite figured out why.

You should try and talk to Alan Oldham some time. He lives in Chicago
now.  Whatever you hear in Detroit he's the contrarian.  He's a great
guy, but whatever someone else in Detroit tells you is white, he'll
tell you it's black.

I've yet to miss a festival, so I'm looking forward to this annual

Just in time for the Stewart Walker event here in Pittsburgh last
Friday, we got in the tests for TNA 009 from Arne Weinberg, and TNA
010 from Shawn Rudiman. I'll post full details, sound clips and all
other pertinent information in near future.

Not to start another flame war about vinyl vs. CD/mp3, but for my

DTM is having a free party on Saturday night I think - free!  That's
nice and refreshing amidst some of the more expensive dealies.  And
Bang Tech 12 is having a free afterparty on Friday night.

Also, Blank artists party - which I am very excited about.  Osborne,

I am not.

It really hurts me to not go too.

My reasons: combination of each/all of my core group of 5 friends who
we had shared hotels/flights from every US region/etc are saying no.
One is going to Spain (for some shwechno festival - lame), one is in
law school, and the rest feel like they've seen enough for this year
(whatever that means).

For me it's like a pilgrimage, and maybe I will book a last minute
flight just to see 6 hours of the festival, but I somewhat doubt it.

Reason 2, I am doing a professional exam a week following the Festival.

That's my story for now.
