Here's a reply to the message "(idm) LFO...newest teeny rock sensation" you wrote on Thu, 2 Sep 99 15:22:47 -0500: >Has anyone else seen that incredibly bad video from the newest A&R man >created 'new kids on the block stylee trying to be down with the b-boy >stance' group called LFO? I've havn't felt sickness like that since Jason >Nevins remixed Run DMC. If anyone at Warp is out there, please please sue >these guys over using the same name as one of your artists. Surely you >must have a copyright on the LFO name in musical artist context. They >have a hit record. Take 'em down. Stop the madness that is backstreet boy >rejects trying to be 'phresh'. Although if you think about it, it's probably more in LFO's favour to be mistaken as the Lyte Funky Ones than it is the other way round. And LFO fan is unlikely to buy a Lyte Funky Ones album/single by mistake, whereas your typical teeny-pop Lyte Funky Ones fan could very possibly pick up a copy of "Frequencies" or "Advance" by mistake. Of course, Warp wouldn't mind -- more cash in their coffers at some naive kid's expense. Hey, and you never know -- that kid may even like it! -- Mark Stevens http://www.headspin.clara.net/
