I always believed Richie has humour, his Plastikman persona showed that, I just know that Richie said in an interview I read in Jockey Slut (?) that he was never into hip-hop, so I am intrigued and happy to see how the divide between techno/house/electronic music and 'urban music' is closing.
I think this is a good thing, esp in the US. A song like Green Velvet's La La Land could so easily cross over to the same kids into Missy, Eminem, et al. I think it will be through these kind of exchanges that kids in the US discover Detroit and Chicago music. One of the more open minded techno heads in Melbourne is starting an R&B club and making music al la The Neptunes. I see this as good for techno, hip-hop and R&B. All fluidity is good. >he is dropping is own version of Get Ur Freak On.... but it's still >cool nonetheless. > >his supposed lack of humor is a common misconception, it seems. he >once opened a set in minneapolis with the entirety of Stairway To >Heaven - and i mean the whole damn song. the party was called >Stairway To Headphones, hence the song. rich went on typically late >in the evening, i think right after josh wink. so picture several >hours of techno interrrupted by a very long Led Zeppelin song. damn >that was funny. people had no idea what to do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
