I don't see how posting a bi-weekly or monthly list of new music from Detroit labels and artist is telling people what they should like. It only promotes more on-topic discussion. > Besides that, your request is being filled weekly by Matt in his 'Clinically > Inclined' playlists.

Well no offense to Matt if he is the administrator but he doesn't cover a good portion of the *NEW* "313" records being released. > Please tell us what you're so upset about!!!

Either contribute > what you know or shut the f*ck up and take what's relevant to you. there are a lot of people like me who are not/ or no longer vinyl junkies and really don't follow what is being released. Instead of buying all the Red Planet records we may just buy the CD compilation, or Juan Atkins new album instead buying the singles, or the occasional really cool record that comes out. Think how much money labels lose because they are not connecting to this audience, a lot people just don't know about their music.
