hi Nick,
after reading my post, i disagree with most of what i said too... i wish i
could take it back, but too many people have read it and responded to it, oh
well.
i guess what i meant to say was i just didn't want to see too many of the
'wrong' fans in this... i think one of the coolest things about going to a
good techno party or even a good techno club is that the majority of the
people understand it's about the music, and not the glory/image/popularity.
the majority of people who listen to underground music have this
appreciation for the music like no other.
i think Jaguar has the huge potential to bring new listeners in of all
different backgrounds and musical tastes, it has something to satisfy
everybody. i don't think it will necessarily be a bad thing to show it on
TV, but i also don't think it will necessarily be a bad thing for it NOT to
show on TV. i guess that was more of what i was trying to say.
Mike

There's still a lot of good hip hop about. Lots of
kids still sit on street corners doing it old school
style. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a mailing list
similar to this one but for hip hop out there...
The truth of it is that the underground will never
die. You can't stop people from making music for the
love of it... It's the most primitive form of art,
bone whistles came before cave paintings (apparently)
