dont get me wrong, if the award is for movement, then sure that's reason why
kevin and derrick should get it and not juan. reading about the award, it
seemed to be a focus on production/artistic output, something more broad than a
single event. and juan's absence was presented to em as matter of location.
if yussell is so clued in on everything, snidely dropping hints about knowing
"the REAL reason", he should have shared that info and enlightened us all, so
we understand too. but it seems to me if the focus was the effort and success
of movement, the committee wouldn't have adjusted the award, they would have
simply explained ala it was re movement 2004, which juan was not a part of.
that explanation would have been fine for me, it makes perfect sense, there's
no drama or anything there. calling people idiots for not knowing the supposed
"real reason", and taking every oppurtunity to condescend to people who happen
to really respect and enjoy classic detroit techno (on 313, crazy!), and taking
the chance to talk sh!t about juan...ugh...who needs that crap..

>if i read right, the award was for art, not business achievement.
neither kevin nor derrick have done anything artistically that can
touch juan's recent stuff. as a whole, juan is the best producer
of the 3, despite derricks very few special moments.
