I think you have a point here but sometimes you really have to confront what you percieve as bulls**t and pretension with strong language. A debate should be lively and not preceded with endless disclaimers about each person's respect for the other and their right to hold an opinion - isn't it dishonest, after all, to say you respect someone elses point of view, when you quite clearly hold it in contempt? [re Jeff's post again:] And that it shouldn't matter how they try to bring their point across, either. It's about respecting others. We don't have to be friends with everyone but at least show them respect, regardless of how much we might dislike their ways and opinions. If we were all the same then we wouldn't have all this beautiful music that this list is all about. > Anya : ) > From: James Bucknell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue 05/Nov/2002 16:39 GMT > To: Anya Stang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > <313@hyperreal.org> > Subject: Re: (313) to move or not to move. > > when people find out that i dj, it's not uncommon that they say they don't > like dance music. i then ask where they've been dancing, what clubs, what > djs. they usually reply that they don't go dancing, they just listened to > dance music at a friends place, on the radio etc. > that's when i point out that it's called dance music, not 'sitting on your > ass at home' listening music. > sure you can listen to it at home, but the place it makes sense, and the > place to judge it, is on a dancefloor. you can send a dance floor into > convulsions with just an 808 rhythm track. put that on the home stereo and > most people will think it sounds dull repetitive and boring. > > and that's why i'm calling it dance music. just try shooting me. > > one of the major problems with comtemporary dance music is that a lot of it > is actually made for listening, not dancing. there's a bigger market for > record companies making listening music. i'm referring to all the crap mix > cds, like the global series etc. > james _______________________________________________________________________ Freeserve AnyTime, only £13.99 per month with one month's FREE trial!
