Re: (313) Trainspotting
Weird! That very film is playing right now on Channel 4 (UK). Trainspotter is an amusing derogatory term used to describe people who are more interested in the nuances and details of said pastime than the actual music itself- obsessions with labels, original pressings. catalogue numbers ad finitum. It comes from the act of Trainspotting- an actual hobby where train enthusiasts stand in train stations and record the numbers of different trains and their types and compare notes. I think most of us on the 313 could be described as trainspotters at one time or another :) Jason On 18 Jan 2004, at 23:27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where did the term trainspotting come from?

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. When I was a kid in Chicago (in the 1950s) I lived a block away from a very large RR yard. I would keep a notebook of the various RR companies and their freight cars and also private companies that had their own rolling stock - not the numbers - just the types of boxcars, tank cars, refers (that's refrigerated cars, not something you smoke).Some of them were very colorful. I mentioned this thread to my wife, who rides a commuter train to work every day. She said that some of the older passenger train cars have their own names like the General Sheridan or the Mountain View etc.She said that she looks at the names of the cars as they pass by. Another related point is that trains, at one point on our civilization, were the fastest way to get from point A to point B. The time-space thing. You see a lot of railroad imagery in early 20th century painting.Today it would be the airplane or the spaceship. WOW pointless, obsessive behavior sounds like me. mediadrome

That almost happened a few years ago when Laura Gavoor was looking after the guys. Of course those involved would love to pull it off again as a tribute to her as she put a lot of work into the tour. But it has to be done right at the right time so the artists are happy and well looked after and represented properly. I'm hopeful it will happen.

(313) Detroit Soul Questions
I recently bought the 1998 Davina CD Best Of Both Worlds on Loud and it's classy. I borrowed it back then but, while enjoying it, I didn't realise then that she had a Detroit connection. I think my fave cut is still the single So Good, which has a Mary J feel. I know she did some music with UR ages ago, but I wonder what she's doing now? I really think Loud failed Davina (and most of its small RB roster). Also, I saw a new (?) Norma Jean Bell track in store on the weekend, I think a remix, something like I'm The Realest Queen on a label with Chocolate in the title. I should have taken in more, but I was avoiding pushy sales staff when I'm broke! Anyone know anymore? Does anyone know what NJB has been working on lately? She was working on a new album two years ago on her own label. Also, someone posted some info on a new Moodymann album, which I've lost. If there is any press info, can someone forward it to me? That would rock. I finally heard the Amp Fiddler album at a friend's and it actually picks up where Mr Fiddler left off, very mellow. I love the title-track, and there was at least one smooth song co-written by Raphael Saadiq. It was very soulful - and RB oriented - the whole set. I understand the buzz. Also, I know Detroit being a small town *someone* here has to know this: when is the new Anita Baker album coming out?

I picked this up in Australia about 5 weeks ago...lots of copies around at all the stores...strange it hit over here so early... Also thought Id give my impressions on Aphex Twin/Luke Vibert at the BDO lat night...I missed the first 20 or so minutes but when I arrived they were playing what seemed like remixes/alternate takes/different songs using very similar sounds to alot of the early Caustic Window and Analogue Bubblebath gear...awesome - Ive read that Aphex has a huge cache of unreleased music, if this was some of then wow!!! As good as any of his early releases (which are my favourites). The last alf hour turned into the monster acid/braindance gear Rephlex specialise in, with a bunch of tracks that wouldnt sound amiss on the Hangable Auto Bulb ep's. I was very impressed with the 2 of them using Laptops, we (Brisbane) get very few international acts, and I havent seen any using laptops ( and maybe even Final Scratch - not too sure there) before. But to all Australian 313er's - if you ever liked that early Aphex sound, then try and get to see them play - well worth the effort.

Re: (313) Jeff Milestone Mills
I think that's a bit hard maybe. Jeff Mills was raised in Detroit, he probably spent his first 20 years there, and just because he doesn't play there often doesn't mean he doesn't visit, or have family there. His influence is pervasive in Detroit. Stacey Pullen was saying that some might say his Fabric CD is 'not Detroit' because there is but one track by a Detroit artist (in this case Moodymann) but the point is he is from Detroit, in Detroit, it's his aesthetic. -- From: /0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Jeff Milestone Mills Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 12:50 PM why did he film it in detroit? he's not in detroit anymore, he doesnt play in detroit anymore. what the hell does jeff mills know about detroit? the the wizard era of detroit is long gone, and mostly for the better. it was a bad city with good music then, and now its a better city with better music IMO. _j - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org; Ploegmakers, Joost [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Katrin Richter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 7:03 PM Subject: RE: (313) Jeff Milestone Mills Yussel, I think you've missed the point.

He felt that he and Dimitri Hegemann from Tresor did a bad job back in the early Nineties because he pleaded guilty for conditioning people to consume Techno in dark boxes full of fog and strobes and didn't consider making it nicer for girls (which is, in his opinion, the reason why there are not so many girls embracing Techno)... We had a really long discussion and he admitted that he sometimes feels really removed from his audience. He said he'd never consume drugs because he would hate to put his company - and the people working for him - at risk... I don't think he is greedy... I think he is striving to be a real artist, sound- and concept-wise, that is accepted by educated people. This is, in my opinion, the reason, why he tries to employ these pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical thoughts on his sleeves written in bad English (which of course, are more expensive to make).

It's not like either are anti-party. He is one of the most gracious people in the business, and modest to a fault. He certainly doesn't look down on anyone. If anything he is incredibly relativistic. So he's ambivalent about the proliferation of drugs in the scene - so is Derrick May, so is Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, all for different reasons. Is that such a bad thing? It's not like he's preaching an evangelical message, 'do not take drugs to my music'. Many of those in the scene who don't partake in the drug culture are ambivalent about it. I am certainly glad *someone cares* about the absence of women in the techno (and dance) scene - even though on a business level it would be great to see women supporting each other, not, as in some cases, undermining them, as that is actually the biggest barrier we face. ;) When I met Jeff, he was a very nice caring person who was deeply concerned about the direction Techno was taking in Germany (!). He felt that he and Dimitri Hegemann from Tresor did a bad job back in the early Nineties because he pleaded guilty for conditioning people to consume Techno in dark boxes full of fog and strobes and didn't consider making it nicer for girls (which is, in his opinion, the reason why there are not so many girls embracing Techno)... We had a really long discussion and he admitted that he sometimes feels really removed from his audience. He said he'd never consume drugs because he would hate to put his company - and the people working for him - at risk... I don't think he is greedy... I think he is striving to be a real artist, sound- and concept-wise, that is accepted by educated people. This is, in my opinion, the reason, why he tries to employ these pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-philosophical thoughts on his sleeves written in bad English (which of course, are more expensive to make). Although he has done Metropolis and a lot of groundbreaking other projects, he is not really really accepted in the realms of high art, especially not in North America where a Techno artist would never reach the status of social acceptance he longs for. In Europe and Japan, people roll out the red carpet... here, he is the person who single-handedly established Techno in Berlin (well, at least that's what Dimi and Jeff both want to believe - themselves - and which is impossible to prove or disprove). I guess the things I just mentioned are integral parts of his personality and that might explain why he tries to make his label a sought-after commodity rather than being down with the locals. Drug-mongering simple minds are just not his thang as he was working hard enough to transcend this stage of low human existance and I think he likes to see himself as a man of class and style - certainly the way he dresses and the hotels he chooses. Okay, that was the psychological analysis from da Kat :) who sat on the mat and is a big fan of Jeff as a human. I wouldn't buy See The Light but I certainly would buy the flip flips in his shop (and even the Axis beach towel) if I had the money spare. I love supporting people... -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 15.

RE: (313) Jeff Milestone Mills

It's a play on the idea of exhibitionism and the idea that you get to see inside of him - he's putting himself on display. If you look at the pictures on the CD/EVE a bit closer you'll see that the image isn't some wax sculpture - it's actually Jeff Mills. He hasn't entombed his image in a museum type display case at all- it's a store front window. Check out what is going to be on the DVD and you might begin to understand why it's called Exhibitionist and why placing himself in a store display window is a decent graphic representation of the project. In addition - the DVD was filmed in Detroit - not Germany or anywhere else that he could have done it. It doesn't make me ill at all - I think it's fantastic and the DVD sounds brilliant.

Nor do I agree that Mills is the right person to take it in this direction (given the state of his current live performances) BUT, I do feel a bit more respect knowing that his actions (misguided or not) do have a definate purpose, rather than just egocentric flights of fancy. but that still doesn't explain why he refuse to let the sound guy keep him from distorting bassbins.

RE: (313) Trainspotting
Isn't trainspotting ultimately descended from philately, the mother of all bizarrely obsessive hobbies for nerdy blokes? I've heard that Asperger's argument before, and it does make a bit of sense to me to be honest; the whole idea of data being more fascinating to certain people than other humans are is common in trainspotters and in Asperger's sufferers. But on the other hand it could be argued that it's quite a natural thing to be nerdy and obsessive, with football and cars being the two biggest obsessions the typical male has. It's interesting that someone with an obsessive interest in football or cars tends to be seen in a different light than someone with an obsessive interest in music, computers or even trains. -Original Message- From: Robert Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 January 2004 16:41 To: Jason Brunton; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313 Subject: RE: (313) Trainspotting It doesn't stop at trains, I've seen bus spotters, coach spotters and truck spotters.
