I posted part of an interview w/ D May on Sat. It was in Motormouth monthly (a small independent rag here in Detroit) and done by Liz Copeland who is a much respected NPR DJ and journalist here. Anyway, I don't know if Derrick was trying to stir up controversy as he seems like to do, but he did say that KW wanted 6 figures. He also said he lost like $170k on last year's event, but is going forward again this year. Plans to have 50/50 Detroit vs non-Detroit artists.
As much as I would love to see KW at the festival, and am kind of T-ed off at them for charging so much, I sooo wish I could get out of going to my Grandma's 90th for their show in Toronto on April 23rd. Tickets were still available yesterday.

Not that I am dismissing this, but there is always so much bad blood stirred by miscommunication...

I feel that as its Movement they could at least drop the cost ...I am a little annoyed by this as it would make a truly memorable festival.. -----Original Message----- From: Stewart Caig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 22/03/2004 10:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Kraftwerk (Not a spoiler - don't worry) Alex Feel exactly the same way you did after seeing the Saturday night! I couldnt stop rocking popping and locking despite the mass chin stroking! It was strange because it felt as if there was an amzing atmos in there, but it always seemed to be eminating from somewhere else, no matter where I positioned myself. Didn't matter though, I spent the whole night inside my own head, the music was just incredible. I couldnt stop thinking that these guys had been around since the 70s and they still put everything else to shame. Most pure, futuristic techno Ive ever heard. Do you think they get help from other producers to update all thier old stuff? Ive been told by a couple of people they do. Whatever though, Im still buzzing off it and I cant seem to get these 3 words out of my head........ The Man Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine Machine :) Peace Stewart ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 11:27 AM Subject: Re: (313) Kraftwerk (Not a spoiler - don't worry) > > >that they just couldn't dance?-) > > I was bouncing off every wall in there. body poppin, spinning on my head, > leaping around. > this lad can't stay still. > > >the gig I just sort of woke up from a > >beautiful and very realistic dream. > > I'm still in that dream. > > I don't think I'll ever forget it as long as I live. > > alex > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > --------------------- End of message text -------------------- > > This e-mail is sent by the above named in their > individual, non-business capacity and is not on > behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers. > > PricewaterhouseCoopers may monitor outgoing and incoming > e-mails and other telecommunications on its e-mail and > telecommunications systems.
