Welcome to the real world????? If you see some of these names overtly publicized, you'd better take a close look cause more than likely something is wrong with that picture, you don't see the Underground Cats getting that much hype, why do you think. The big boys have a way of getting paid of off names like DJ Spooky, and many others that crossed over to the mainstream. Mainstream is where the money is at, but they suck the artist dry and destroy the reputation of something worthwhile, look at the "Alternative Scene", the "Hip-Hop Scene", they are even tapping into the Drum and Bass scene, of course Detroit Techno is hard for them to grasp, and believe me they have been trying real hard to buy into that market. But cats like UR won't sell out, 430 West won't sell out, Direct Beat won't sell out, and many more who know this game very well, TP, educate the folks tell them how it is.......I know you know............. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JavierDrada" <xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx> To: "313" <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 1:33 PM Subject: Re: [313] DJ Spooky/Dave Clarke > Because Industry Hype is powered by money, big labels dump lots of money to > brainwash urban kids into spending their cash on crap!!!!!!!The corporate > monopoly........... > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peter B Leidy" <xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx.xxx> > To: "Mxyzptlk" <xxxxxxx@xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx> > Cc: "Andrew Duke Cognition/In The Mix" <xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xx>; "...IDM list" > <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>; "day-twa" <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> > Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 12:29 PM > Subject: Re: [313] DJ Spooky/Dave Clarke > > > > I saw dj spooky play a local bar about 3 years ago. and -big surprise- it > > pretty much sucked. he had three tables set up, and on the main two he was > > train-wrecking slowed down jungle tracks (45's playing on 33), and on the > > third table was just white noise and sfx records that he'd leave playing > > for a while and occasionaly tinker with them. > > > > i know his angle is from the "conceptual art" side- but i dont really get > > why he does shows that are hyped as dj shows. i've seen him reviewed in > > big name art magazines for shows in some pretty respectable new york > > galleries- but in this setting it is more art installation type stuff- > > some of it looks like it may actually have some interesting acoustic > > soundscape stuff going on. but for the sake of performing music venues- i > > think he needs to drop the "dj" and just be called spooky, or maybe > > sloppy.. > > > > -p > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > > For additional commands, e-mail: xxx-xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > For additional commands, e-mail: xxx-xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx >
