Sorry to bang on, but I totally agree with Hugh here. I had a long weekend last w/end and when I opened my mailbox there was well over 100 mails from this list and a good deal of them were WAY off-topic, some even bordering on spam. At the end of the day this is a d&b PRODUCTION list! If it ain't related to PRODUCING drum and bass music then its OFF-TOPIC! Simple.
Once again, sorry to the true peeps on here, keep up the good work! >From: "joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: new member , questions >Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2002 23:41:31 -0500 > >normally i'll laugh things off and not respond, but i felt it was >necessary... > >people just need to relax. > >if you get upset by a topic going slightly ot by one email (which i didn't >think so, i believe dj'ing is almost "live production" and i was commenting >on how i saw a dj do it well and how many other dj's lack that, and you >can't talk about production without talking about spinning), then maybe you >need to stop taking things so seriously. > >also, if everyone making drum 'n' bass didn't want to sound like anyone >else, then there wouldn't be a genre, people would just make music. when >you're making a certain style, you're already putting limitations, or >atleast paths, in front of you which you have agreed to follow, if not >atleast be aware of them and stray from them properly. everyone has role >models, and if you don't have them officially, you have "influences". >everyone does, if you wanna try to sound like a badass and say "no, i'm >original" then never touch an amen again. go hit some kitchen utensils >together and hum something. > >people need to let go of this "elitist" mindset that's starting to emerge >(or has become more prevalent) in the crowd. i liked this scene because >there was barely a distinction between the unexperienced and the pros, >there >were no egos, and everyone just wanted to have a good time. what happened >to that? and if this is too off-topic for you, it's just one email, delete >it. set your threshold a little higher. > >joe > >-----Original Message----- >From: Hugh G.
