first off, it is true that Bone's preference for these mixes is that
during the given week they be available as a stream. duh. that's
why we did it that way. but that decision has nothing to do with
making this difficult, secretive, or anything other than fun. it was
intended to create a mood, to create the 'moment in time' sense of
the project. not to give anyone a hard time.
However - yes, Bone has said a few times now that if you're someone
who feels like they *have* be able to download it or whatever, fine,
do what you must. no one over here is going to get their panties in
a bunch. he's also said a bunch of times that eventually they will
all be available. direct links to the first 5 or 6 have already been
given out in emails to list members. there's no desire to keep the
music from people. the reason it exists is so that we can enjoy it.
in the case of The Archiver (Graham Williams), he's hooked up with
the D1 guys in dublin. Graham is the tech guy who recorded the mix
at this dublin party last weekend, and someone who apparently needs
put down the computer for a few hours and go for a walk. it is true
that at the time he got permission from Bone to put up a link to the
set. why he feels the need to be mr. secret sarcastic hacker boy, i
don't know.
another however, @ Graham: after talking to Bone today he wanted me
to tell you that while he did say you could put up the link, he had
no idea you were going to post it from here to the end of the earth.
nor was that intent. he thought you only meant on your site or maybe
ie-dance. give a brother an inch...
thanks for your interest and support everyone.

I don't really understand what the problem is here. If Bone
personally said it was ok to post the link then it's OK. End of.
Why is there a need to "read between the lines'
of his real intention?
This whole streaming mp3 thing ruined this project for me. I really
enjoyed listening to the first 3 at work, which is really the only
time I get to listen to a lot of music.
Then the whole thing gets streamed and I'm f>cked cos they will not
let me use streaming at work. So bang, That's that. No more bone
for me. I really lost interest after that. To the point that I
can't even be arsed to download the rest of them as and when they
get the green light from the techno cops.
Reading the bone email, I understand it to say....
I would like this to happen
"My intention was to have
this show be a weekly moment in time. Once the moment us gone, so
is the
mix"
But I know this will happen and I don't mind.
"I am not upset at any who downloaded or continue to download these
mixes as long as you represent me and my art in true underground"
Could it really be any more clear?

A message from DJ Bone... (from 8/21/05)
First of all, I just want to thank those of you who listen to
and support DJ
BONE and Subject Detroit. Real recognizes real. My intention was
to have
this show be a weekly moment in time. Once the moment us gone,
so is the
mix. I am not upset at any who downloaded or continue to
download these
mixes as long as you represent me and my art in true underground
fashion. Do
what you do and I will keep doing what I do. Electronic music
has forgotten
it's roots but I haven't.
'Til I attack again....keepdeep
