Sometimes I wonder what Techno or music in general means to people. To me it
means
freedom of expression and yet so many times we are all to eager to state that
OUR way is the best and
only way you should feel or listen to music.
If you take drugs (sorry but Alcohol and cigarrettes are drugs) no problem, if
you don't also no problem......lets get back to basics and love what we love,
the music.
I have been meaning to post something like this for a while as I feel that
sometimes we all miss the whole
idea of techno...remember Techno has no boundaries so why should we..

i've gotta agree with that.
i hope you didn't behave hypocritically and refresh yourself with an
alcoholic beverage after 'lecturing' people about taking 'drugs'. drugs
are
an important contributor to dance music culture. it would be naive to
ignore
that.
conservatives that pay out on weed and stimulant whitegoods whilst
happily
sucking down a beer are annoying.
as i enter the older part of my 20's i'm noticing that i'm no longer in
the
younger half of the crowd in clubs - you should accept it as a
compliment
that people think that you look hip enough to be in the 'know'.
as for derrick - the last 4 or 5 times I've seen him he's been
alright......after i see him I always pull out my old mixes of him from
87-89 on WJLB detroit radio - when he used to work doubles of eddy
grant,
into doubles of liasons dangereuses and scratch in 'can u feel it',
with lil
louis 'music takes me away' mixed over the top followed by Harry
thurman's
disco classic 'underwater' into Todd Terry's 'can u party'....pretty
diverse
s%$t mixed in an adventurous way like it should be.........he doesn't
really
push the envelope any more for me.
