What's with all the 313 - Ann Arbor residents? I knew I wasn't the only one, but dayum!
:) And as far as the Subject, for those who had a problem with it, I was just saying that I was annoyed with the race and techno debate, and how it makes me feel to be a suburban white kid who is 23 years old, now living in Ann Arbor, who just loves-- I mean ***LOVES*** Techno and House... It is my life blood in many ways... I'm just tired of feeling like it is wrong for me to like certain musics, because someone feels I cannot understand it... I'll finish by telling a little story about something that happened to me yesterday... I work in a restaraunt right now and I was listening to the Designer Music CD back in the kitchen and one of my co-workers was really starting to dig it and started asking questions about it... Mind you, his Idea of techno is Fatboy Slim... So I started talking to him about it and about Detroit techno's origins, and stuff... Then I showed him the CD case, and he says "It's weird for me to think of a black guy making techno music"... Then I found myself telling him all this stuff about how it all came about through black people and he thought it was all really cool... And spreading the the knowledge always makes me feel good...
