We all know you're a good guy who can see the wider picture, Mr Askew! I was talking generally. I 100 % agree the mainstream media is weird with many underground styles - techno and house included. I used to think it was just urban music that was marginalised but I find that quality music - house and techno - gets as bad a go, trance and big beat gets the push. Even some of those reviewing Madonna's new record don't have a clue about what it is she is doing and it is her most adventurous work in some time.
Talking of the mainstream media and 313, anyone seen the DJ Rolando interview in NME? It's just out. I think there was another in Seven too. Seven is Mixmag's more clued in little sister/brother 'zine. >This thread was started by a comment on how major-labels have screwed-over >alot of 'underground' artists.
