Re: The Plan - Plan A
Well the plan isn't Mr. De' its me. This was a digital version of the release I put together for the mp3 website I helped Ade run at the time which was called Detroit Digital Vinyl. The natural condition was a track that was never put on a vinyl release. It was from a period quite a bit earlier. There is still allot of unreleased material from that project. There were plans to release the entire project but life gets in the way some times and it never really happened. It still trips me out to hear somebody bring up that release.

(313) R.I.P. Aaron, I'll truly miss you
Hear Ye!Hear Ye!One of the greats is gone... It's hard to know exactly how to start this. There are allot of people you'll meet in your lifetime. Some of them you may just pass by on the street ,make eye contact and never get to know anything beyond that. You may spend some time afterward imagining what you think they are like, how they live, what they're thinking, who they're friends are etc... Some of them you get to meet and hang out with for a bit. You find out how unhappy they are, how unfulfilled their life seems to you. Some you meet live their life in a manner worthy of a Norman Rockwell painting. They seem to have it all, they have the wife, 2.5 kids, minivan, excellent credit, white picket fence and a retirement account. Very very few you meet in life are like an Aaron Carl. If fact it may be so rare that I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you never knew Aaron Carl you missed out cause there will never be another one. There are people in this world that deserve your tears. People that never spoke out loud about anything and never used their short time on this earth to leave a mark. The people that you should cry for are people who never knew themselves, or that ones that do but never bring up the courage to live openly in front of the world so that everybody will know the truth. This was not Aaron Carl... Aaron was just one of those people who's entire life was a true expression of who he was on the inside. He just didn't have that thing in his head that allowed him to hide what he felt from the world. He was not an actor, he was not just some personality, he was just Aaron. You were either cool with that or you were more cool with the door knob hitting you in the ass on the way out. He was loved by many people all over the world for that alone. He was blessed by God with a talent for expression that anybody should envy as well as a need to express that consumed his every waking moment. Like most of us that attempt to express ourselves the emotions run deep. The joy and pain of life and the differences between the highs and the lows are vast. For some the toll it takes on you and the costs are great. But like most of us realize the payoff is worth much more than all of that. The hope is that all of the blood, sweat and tears are enough to make a mark on this world that last well beyond the short life we were honored to live. Do not shed a tear for Aaron, he accomplished it. The music OMG the music was something that none of us will be able to forget. He had a sound and a unique way to make things happen in a dance track that few in this world will be able to match much less try to emulate. He had a way to make a track both emotionally deep and exciting. If a tear must be shed let it be for all of us that will never have another chance to learn more from him in person about music. Nobody can ever deny that the man was gifted. If you never had the chance to meet Aaron in person but you still want to know the man all you have to do is listen to his body of work. All of this will survive him long after the shock of his death has worn off. He had a genuine love for this city ,the music scene in it and made a genuine effort to try to make things happen. I know that he was a huge influence on me personally as well as many others around him. My sincere condolences go out to all of his family and to all of his other friends. If there is anybody to shed a tear for it's them along with all the others who will no longer have a chance to know the man behind the music. May he forever rest in peace while the rest of us do our best to live in peace and make the best of this short time we are allowed to be with each other on planet earth. True death only comes to those who never truly lived and true life only comes to those who live the truth. Sincerely, Cliff Thomas

(313) New Submerge Recodings label Polyphase Recordings looking for demos....
Yes we're looking for Demos This new label has been started to give some new artists a chance to be heard without just giving away their music like other web-labels. We plan to take a new direction on the whole game. We are not going to have a restricted format. We're looking for good music and new sounds to throw out there on the open market. We will offer short licensing contracts and to not plan to keep the masters from the artists. We have a huge digital distribution network that will ensure that this music gets out there so everybody has access to it and all the artists we be paid from the sales. We are looking for artists with a diverse sound. As long as the music is hot we don't care what "genre" it's called. The most popular tracks and EPs will also have a chance of making it to vinyl and CD compilations for sale worldwide. If this sounds good to you send your demo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: (313) mad mike interview link
Everybody in Detroit knows the bus system and the peoplemover is a sad joke. It originally was supposed to go all the way down to New Center and back which would have really helped pull at least the center of the city together but who in the hell knows what happened to all that money. It only goes in a one mile circle around downtown which is absolutely useless considering that most of the people that work downtown commuter there by car. This city government is absolutely corrupt, the mentality of the streets goes all the way to the top.

Re: (313) ot: congrats tigers
This tigers team is something special just like that boston team was a few years back. I'v been watching them more during this season that i probably did the last 15 years combined. These guys are no joke. They are the most balanced team in the playoffs and when they are on point they are un-beatable. If you guys watched the last two games you saw how out cold their pitching can be from the starters and the madmen we have in the bullpen like Zumaya and Jones. All the players we have this year are blue collar types. The detroit public does not like pretty boy teams. I was around for the 1984 season even though i was young and i remember watching it on tv like it was yesterday. Some stupid bastard came up with the idea of calling detroit "Hockey Town" but that is and has always been complete bullshit. This town has been a hardcore baseball town for over 100 years and if you watch that crowd in the stands on tv you'll see that right off the bat. It just sucks that we took so long to in-between winning seasons. If people don't enjoy watching the Tigers win this year they must be a bunch of assholes :) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: "\\js" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "/0" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) ot: congrats tigers Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2006 09:26:42 -0400 hi On 10/7/06, /0 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > first time in 19 years we get to the postseason, and then we send the > yankees home to watch the rest of the playoffs on TV hell yes- it was awesome! as a transplanted detroiter [boston] it was great to not only see the old hometown team do well, but it was equally satisfying to watch the yankees go down again!

(313) Submerge Podcast Is Online!!!!
Our sole purpose is to shed light on electronic music from and associated with Detroit. We feel there have been many interviews done by these artists all over the world where the interviewer have asked questions that only touch the surface of what the artist has to offer and have to say. There is nothing more frustrating to an artist then being asked questions by people that don't know their work or know the right questions to ask to truly get down to the artists personality and real thoughts about their own art. We plan to get at the very core of the artists and bring you a side of them that you would never otherwise hear on a conventional radio or TV interview. We plan to make this "The Definitive Show: For Those Who Know". This is something that we’ve needed for a very long time but as with our music as you know the technology has always had to catch up to the music. It is time to bring these artists the respect they have always deserved. In order to make this happen we had track down people with a true love for the music and a real understanding of the task at hand. We could think of nobody that has more love and dedication to do the job right than "Magic" Mike Young and Natalie Chickee. "Magic" Mike Young has earned a huge amount of respect locally for his former show "Stick It In Your Ear" which at the time it was running was the only true radio show in Detroit who's main focus was local electronic music. Natalie Chickee comes from across the river in Windsor, Ontario and is currently doing a show at CJAM radio, which has a focus on all types of local music from Hip Hop to Techno. Both of these hosts have a drive that few can match and a real love for the music. Now the time has come for us to wage Electronic Warfare upon the media world and place our own stamp upon the history of this music and bring light upon the masses. Get ready. - The Plan http://www.detroitdigitalvinyl.com/submergepodcast/ Show one features: Aaron Carl Ron Murphy and Mr. De'

I asked him if this was the place we were staying and he said yes, it was a nice place too in a good part of town and close to everything so i thought everything was looking good to me so me and my freinds decided to go get something to eat before the gig. After that we get to the gig after first stopping by the place he says he's moving into in a week so he could get some needles for the gig. One of my freinds went up there with him and when he came back he said there was no furniture in the place and the cockroaches were running around with bandito outfits on. At least we weren't staying there, i thought, and we proceded to go to the gig. We get there and the place is about thew size of a closet (The Ashland). We go to play and there are two 12 inch monitors and a janky ass pioneer 2 channel mixer with no headphone levels and only one slider with the plastic piece on it. After about an hour of playing to nobody a few people walk in and tell us that nobody did any promotion for the night and nobody knew we were there until a few hours before. I decided to not play anymore and let my freinds have the money because it was obviously a lost cause there anyways and proceded to try to get drunk but the drinks were so watered down i couldn't even get going. After the gig was over we went over to see a local detroiter who was in town play (John Johr) at a pretty nice place. About 10 minutes after we get in the stupid shit starts. Myles comes up to us and tells us that he just got a phone call that his place got raided. For some reason the way he said it to me was not convincing so i knew he was trying to pull some shit. I told my boys that he had to be bullshittin' and we should go and get our stuff. So we all go to him and say we're going back to the crib to get our shit. He tried to tell us that we couldn't go and get our shit because the cops were there, he didn't say this convincingly either and i smelled even more bullshit from him. I told him that there is no way i am going to not get my shit. I told him
(313) Hoe ass Chicago promoter alert!!!
So here's the story... Me and two freinds get booked to go play in chicago for this promoter named Myles who claims to be affiliated with Alan Oldham. We had played for this guy one time before and had no problems but even then something about the way he talked set off my bullshit detector so i was already on the lookout for shady things to come from this douchebag. We all got booked to play on wednesday night and were told before we came out that there was another gig to play on friday for him. about 3/4 of the way there we get a call from him that the friday gig was canceled and that kind of pissed me off because i had already taken friday off of work to come play for this fool. If i would have thought that a wednesday gig was the only thing we would have had then i wouldn't have wasted my time coming out there and gone to work to make some money to pay my bills. So we finally get to Chicago and we meet up with him. First thing he did was give us money to cover the gas which was cool and i thought maybe this guy isn't so bad. So we bring our shit up to the apartment and listen to a couple of mediocre tracks he did with Reason and hung out for a little while. I asked him if this was the place we were staying and he said yes, it was a nice place too in a good part of town and close to everything so i thought everything was looking good to me so me and my freinds decided to go get something to eat before the gig. After that we get to the gig after first stopping by the place he says he's moving into in a week so he could get some needles for the gig.

He tried to tell us that we couldn't go and get our shit because the cops were there, he didn't say this convincingly either and i smelled even more bullshit from him. I told him that there is no way i am going to not get my shit. I told him that if he doesn't go open the door for us to go get our shit that i was going to kick it down and do it myself. After him trying to stall and tell us we cant go up all of us were like no way we're leaving without our stuff and he opened the door and we went upstairs. The inside door opens to the crib and lowe and behold there is somebody standing there that none of us met earlier and he wasn't a cop. It turns out that the place belonged to him. After a while of him talking with his freind in the back room and feeding us more bullshit about what happened all of us came to the conclusion that he never asked if we could stay there and it definitly wasn't his crib we were at. After leaving the place and standing outside calling everybody we knew in the area (around 4 am) and getting ahold of none of them while watching him make fake phone calls my freinds decided they had had enough and wanted to leave after about an hour of calling him a fucking hoe i just told him to turn around and walk away like a bitch. I'v rarely ever have been so pissed off in my life. Don't get me wrong, i love Chicago. However if assclown promoters like this are what i can expect in the future there is no way i'm ever coming back for a show. Have any of you ever ran into this fool?

Re: (313) Detroit Digital Vinyl is now online!
We're currently working out the kinks right now. We're having first week growing pains. We seem to have one problem with credit card approvals that only seems to be a problem for certain customers. As soon as we have it fixed which should be in the next few days or maybe hours i'll post something in this thread.

IF2 is up on the site right now, but good luck buying it. The site is really shaky. I advise waiting a week or two. I sent them an e-mail . . . hopefully they'll get the issue ironed out. I really want to spend some money there. -bp

http://detroitdigitalvinyl.com/ Hi, Sorry that my first post on here is spam, but i thought you might want the heads up on this new MP3 site for Submerge. This site has been a while in the making and we will be ready to launch in a few days. This site will feature Exclusive MP3's from the submerge catalog of classics along with special MP3 only releases in the future. We will also feature a new regular Submerge Podcast broadcasted from the Submerge bunker. We will be continuously adding new material to the site to keep it fresh for everybody as we go. We will also be offering memberships with that can give discounts on music up to 50%. We will also start very soon start searching for more labels to take on board to make our selection of music grow even further. When the site is launched this will be the first place i make it known. Stand By...
