Not anal at all, I reckon it would be interesting and a challenge from a DJ point of view, plus the music would be pretty cool Ken - it's only 5 hours of music, not a life mission dude :) The drink would be flowing, the BBQ would be cooking - should be a sweet party - lets keep it interesting *LOL* > Also, this whole idea of a sort of grandstand, to me is a bit poncey and > preachy, a bit like the BBC really - 'mission to explain'!!!

I go back to what I mentioned earlier, when people ask "what kind of dance music is this" - DJ hands punter a card with URL, punter grabs the info and downloads - this is an information war! My stuff is always written in a calm voice, but sure sometimes I end up sounding like a Tw*T - so be it :) > As we get older it's natural that we calcify in our views and in our views > about our deep felt experience.

While I agree that it a cult, it should become a cult of personality, and I've heard there's no decks in Heaven or Hell so all that music with never be heard by a new generation, that's a crime - even if its only to stop them making the same mistakes... > Sorry for the rant and I don't wanna get at you, especially you as natch > it's folk like yourselveswho've always kept this damned thing alive - just > wanted to bring you to your senses - *but* I'm prepared to admit that it's > me who needs bringing to my senses ....
