If anyone wants to keep talking about this move it to private e-mail. And when you want to make a point, leave the grossly misogynistic hip hop lyrics out of it. I spend a lot of time trying to explain how ghettotech and booty house aren't really about hating women, but that Black Sheep lyric wa

I love this mix! Come play in Iowa! But if you're inspired by Ron Hardy, why no train wrecks, skipping records or distortion? ;-) Ron Hardy's mixing was a more primitive version of Jeff Mills -- part of the excitement is that it seems like it's going to go off the rails at any moment. Not crit

iTunes is iPod-centric, and DRM-encumbered. ITunes licensing agreement for end users prohibits legal, legitimate uses of the purchased music, and furthermore, Apple resevers the right to change the license after the fact. I don't mind if people buy iPods and use iTunes, but I have real objection

You might be surprised. This is Detroit, after all, and the DSO did present this event in a context that would suggest that folks at the DSO see the merits of techno. My parent's generation -- born in the 30s and 40s -- drank the Koolaid that is part of their classical training, that classical mu

Mr. May should, like, make some new tracks before he starts working on an opera. I'm sure he approaches everything in life with supreme confidence that he's The Man, but there's a lot of technique and logistical know-how involved in writing an opera that you don't learn from being a DJ and produc

Heh fair enough. We can speculate all the live long day about why May hasn't been more prolific. It's an easy argument to make that if he can't top his classics, or do something as good, there's not much point. Especially since he can make a good living jetting around the world to put records on
