Hmmm one of the rules for starting a flame war is to insult people or the
use of sarcasm, just a tought... The internet is a great way to exchange
information but reply-ing with an e-mail like this is not spreading
information. There is no information found in these kind of replies. It
seems that there are are a lot of e-mails on the 313-list nowadays with
replies like this. Before posting a message to this list try to realise
that 800 people are getting your email. If you don't like some else his
statement please reply with some arguments and not just one-liners. Maybe
this would help to increase info-crap ratio.
PS. This is not a personal attack against Sean just something to think
over for all of us.

Right on Klaas, this list has been quite different since the festival time,
and I want to share a few thoughts with people that are in line with your
comments. When I joined this email list a bit more than 4 years ago, I did
not join because I wanted to give everyone my opinion, I joined because I
wanted to learn about Detroit techno. I think I had been on the list for a
half a year before my first post. There were people here with knowledge,
and these people were enjoying conversation about this knowledge. I was
AFRAID to post. This list was intimidating back then. Perhaps people are
joining 313 with different goals now. I still don't know jack shit about
Detroit techno, even after all these years of reading, going out, hanging
out, even making music... there's just too much to learn and too many
records to own. People shouldn't be getting assraped just because they
don't like a certain Atkins record, or think newer Detroit sounds better
than older detroit. How about entitling people to some opinions in our
moderately free world???
I also wish people would reply privately to posts a bit more, instead of
trying to get "313 credibility" with their sarcastic or just plain rude
responses to people. Shut up and listen to people. Try talking about the
music for a change! It seems like no new spectacular records have come out
since the DEMF. This can't be true!
Anyway, I will try and get some positive discussion going?
1) Sean Deason played a bunch of rock jams from his Allegory and
Metaphor(s?) LP at the festival, I wasn't paying 100% attention to the
discussion a while back, but I thought there was some squabble over the
release of the album. Sean, is this out yet? Who ended up putting it out,
or who will put it out?
2) Derek Plaslaiko ended his intense acid workout at DEMF with The Beatles
"Taxman" from Revolver, which is I suppose the first "acid" record that I
own. Do people that know a lot about rock n roll consider Revolver to be
the first acid record? Pretty clever of Derek eh? Was anyone else in rock n
roll, or maybe jazz/soul or another genre experimenting with the
psychedelic sound that way way early?
3) The Sound Stream record that people were talking about is in my opinion
the most freaked out house 12" i've maybe ever heard. Someone was saying
there were Sound-Hack? records that have the same sound and might be the
same artist or artists. Can someone give more information/reviews on those
records and tell where to find them?
