I spoke to Cliff @ Submerge this morning and he said Carl is
definitely curating this year. How much complete control he has is
anyones guess of course...
By the way, when did Saul Williams play at the festival?! I would have
killed to see that. I don't think more than 2 weeks have gone by in
the last 2 years when I haven't played his album...

Well, having just acquired the Hall and Oats box set I must say
they're
serious soul boys. Their earliest releases were straight up Philly
soul.
They have been sampled quite a bit by house music producers.
Chromeo - now there's some straight up retro 80s overkill bandwagon
jumping cheese right there
but hey, if they're playing Bonaroo this year and so is Stevie
Wonder...
they should go big and try to book Stevie
Kevin is smack on the point though with the Paxahau/Zappa title
comparison
Hey, wasn't Carl Craig supposed to be curating it again? I thought
there
was a press release some time back about that.
Whatever happened to that?
Sorry if this has been covered previously, I haven't been paying much
attention to the list discussions as I've been in deep into
Free/"Spiritual" Jazz world lately
Can someone repost to me the original email that kicked off this
discussion?

I found this thread to be interesting. The issue I have with it is
not that Hall and Oates aren't relevant to electronic music. But do
we really need to push this word of influence any further? I
remember
them being described as "blue-eyed soul." "White Motown?" This
doesn't have to do with colour for me, but I bring this up for one
reason-Gillespie and others have latched on to this idea saying that
hall and oates are as relevant as the other acts being booked for the
festival. Sure they are. I guess I remember it being called the
Detroit Electronic Music Festival not the Artists Who Are All
Influenced By Detroit and its Various Sounds and Want to Play in
Detroit to Validate Their Career Festival.
I just say that whereas I agree with this thing in principle (I
know it won't happen unless it's Chromeo and Darryl Hall), I also
think that we all are forgetting that Paxahau is like a Frank Zappa
album title: "were only in this for the money."
So if it will make dollars, it will make sense. they'll have a
publicist tell us why it's relevant, and someone to corral us into a
line for tickets.
Oh. and since I'm not from the D, take what I say with a grain of
salt.

my WTF Facebook moment for the night
Yeah, I know, but I seriously think it's coming from a strong local
desire
to expand musical genres that are presented at the festival - like
George
Clinton, De La Soul, or Saul Williams in earlier years. And maybe
this is
contrary to popular opinion/assumption, but Detroit techno and
house artists
in Detroit are really not genre police. Most folks are way more
interested
in educating people about all the different kinds of music that
have
been
and continue to be influential to Detroit techno...and house, and
electro,
and booty, and on and on.
