Maria IS the butt-kicking Violetta of all time. And Patsy is sublime. It's
hard to tie these into Detroit sounds, but a lot goes into the pot when
you talk about influences. I can hear echoes of Motown in the Detroit stuff
- most people think I'm crazy when I say that.
I remember getting into an argument on the IDM-l with someone who couldn't
understand why anyone into IDM would find James Brown relevant. Personally,
I don't see how you can spin "Popcorn" and *not* hear the connections. One
of the great things about this list is the diverse musical
backgrounds/appreciation of music in general here. I have always had one
foot in the indie camp myself and Detroit has some great things to add into
that stew as well. Of course, it isn't techno and I am wandering abroad
from the thrust of the list, but a bit of variance never hurt the mix imo.

And of course a big shout to Jeff aka Mxyzptlk -
quite apart from helping me discover so much of
what I listen to these days he's the reason I
re-listened to _the_ voice of ... Patsy Cline.
Thanks Jeff! : )
