I think we're off topic, i think spw is more on a historical/ referential tip, and this release database and his motivation for it closely resembles Socrates' questioning...which belied....a belief in the capacity of the mind (rationality) to apprehend the universe and a concomitant belief in the power of language to come to terms with that understanding... ...hence this is no mere list for spw, but a lifelong work.
spw i commend you on your selfless application to this task, a task which will benefit future generations of civilisation to come... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 17 April 2003 9:15 a.m. To: spw Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) 313 geek culture Is this a paid position?

That would make me disqualified. I also think it would be best to have a person who's in touch with the Detroit scene, someone that has good morale with Detroit artist and labels. here is a quick way to compile information to create a comprehensive list of new releases: Subscribe to record store stock list, one's that do a great job carrying new 313 music. I would subscribe to as many record store stock list as possible as to not leave out any new releases. Also it would be a good idea to subscribe to 313 record label newsletters to kepp informed about individual labels. Copy and save the 313 artist/ label information to an archive which will later be used to compiled to make a list, make sure you abbreviate the record store name next to the release so the record store gets proper credit for lsiting that release. For example: Sonic Groove = SG Record Time = RT Submerge = Sub Hardwax = HW So one release listed can have numerous or multiple record store abbreviations. This tells people where they can find a particular record. Be sure include the music medium such as CD, LP, EP, 12", 7" LMTD., ect... You may also include the price next to the record store abbreviation but to be on the safe side I would put a disclaimer "prices may vary" next to: "not affiliated with record stores, not responsible for on online transactions, customer service, blah, blah, blah, ect..ect..." on 4/15/03 10:31 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Just remember to keep it going every > week so that we don't miss a thing. I'm a afraid that's not possible since most record store stock list are not available on a weekly basis. A bi-weekly or monthly list would be more realistic.
