Mad props to Teep for attempting to keep this chaos in the closet thing to order we can get. And also to all the people who post informative and intelligent (... that's what it's all about, no?) messages.. To the musicians, label heads, djs, writers, web sites, and magazines that try to open the public's eyes to the scene and turn a few heads. For those of you talking stupid, sit back and think- 'do 900 people really care about what i'm about to post'? nine times out of ten the answer will be no. Rather than whining about how isolated we are in our musical tastes, why not try and do something to attract more people, or a least strengthen the current fan base. There needs to be less whiners and more do-ers. Go out, start a record label, buy some equipment, do some tracks, write some reviews, get some dj equipment, start a club. There needs to be more Gonzis and Sms[we miss u stu!] and Lances and less of this crap. Don't give the "i'm too young/poor/isolated/uninformed/whatever" bit cuz it just doesn't work. Evertone can do something. if you don't have anything to contribute then get off the list and out of the scene. - and that's my motivational speech for ya.. btw, is anyone else reallty excited about the PBO/DJ Craze (of 3rd World Citizens) collaberation on the east flatbiush remixes?!?!? will they be doing anything else together? oh [not really idm, i know!] and does anyone know where i can get a hold of that mag with Blackstar's (Kweli/Mos Def) 'Definition' on flexi 7"?? mlt/ _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
