Re: (313) AV Club review of DEMF
Yeah, I didn't think to look at those until just now. Aside from the usual, techno sucks. hawkwind 4 life! and doesn't Detroit swallow white people whole upon entering the city? drivel, these comments got my gag reflex kicking: Death Of The American Industrial City by boredlady Yinz guys forgot about Pittsburgh. Hey AV Club! Pittsburgh can have music festivals too! It's sponsored by American Eagle and the headliner is none other than Bob Dylan!! Come on guys! 4:09 PM Thurs May 29, 2008 * RE: Death Of The American Industrial City by caplives? Isn't Girl Talk from Pittsburgh?

Re: (313) The Wire
How does that speak to the quality of the show? Part of what makes it so spectacular is that it is completely unlike any TV show ever. The creators, writers, directors, cast, and crew were never worried about selling the show to a wide appeal and probably knew that a lot of people wouldn't want to watch it since it offers no escape from reality.

(313) Teaching them when they're young...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdiddy/214606735/ That is a picture of our son playing records for the first time at a friend's picnic last night. He's playing Solitary Flight by Theo Parrish, which is fitting since Theo was one of our son's earliest musical obsessions. Coincidentally, he's wearing a Kraftwerk shirt. I couldn't be prouder. :-) Kelly

Re: (313) myspace (is) 313 (OT)/selling records
If you go to Account Settings, and then go to Music Settings, you can disable people's players from automatically starting. Sometimes it doesn't work, which isn't too surprising since MySpace is kind of ridiculous. Regardless: http://www.myspace.com/kdiddy412 because I know everyone was wondering, When is Tom Cox's wife who never posts going to give use her MySpace link? ;-p the unbelievably awful way you get hit by music every time you go to most people's profile,
RE: (313) techno and kids
'Tis true! Our son used to fall asleep to that stuff all the time, and particularly liked Brian Eno and Carl Craig. He's four and a half now, and is a big fan of Kraftwerk, Theo Parrish, and the soundtrack from Rockers, though his favorites are Jacob Miller and Kiddus I. At some point, people are wired into thinking that 4-minute pop songs are the only acceptable form of music. Our kids are never fed that bull, and as such, it isn't as big a challenge for them to appreciate techno and the like. I'm curious to see what other developmental insights will arise from being fed a steady diet of good music from conception on. --Kelly -Original Message- From: Gil Yaker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 9:10 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: re: (313) techno and kids I am picking up this thread from about 13 months ago... So I finally get to add to this b/c I'm a new, first time dad, as of almost a month ago. As you either know, or can imagine, there's tons of writing and products out there that play on the idea of Classical music being good and calming for baby. I personally think it's a load of hooey and a marketing technique they use b/c in the real world, people associate classical music with intelligence and culture. Someone gave us a baby Einstein CD (a series of toys, music, and video for infants), and it was crap - 40 minutes of classic lullabies played on a general MIDI preset box. My theory goes like this: when baby is in utero, he/she is swimming in fluid. All of the outside sounds get translated to swirling bass, and it's LOUD in there; think about what it sounds like when you're under water. I was looking for the best music to mimic that environment To that end, the thing that just astounds me is that my son loves and is calmed by dubby techno (lucky for me!). When he starts to cry, I play rhythm sound, maurizio, or deepchord over and over. More up tempo Gez Varley, Ifach label, or Rob Hood tracks work too. The trick is turning it up, not to any ludicrous level, but loud enough to feel the bass kick. Cutting back on the highs helps too. Hopefully, his taste in music will continue along this path :) -Gil

RE: (313) a question regarding DEMF and the history of Detroit techno
Ben, It is certainly true that music CAN and DOES transcend the things that keep us down in life. However, I find the assertion that we do not have to address the facts of racism and other political issues simply because we are in a musical arena extremely troubling. Music, not even techno, is not immune to racism, no matter how hardly you might want to believe that it is.

And there ain't nuthin wrong with it. Whatever colour or 'oppressed culture', you may be a part of! Music as a whole, transcends the race issue, the political issue and the issue of who's right and who's wrong! The fact that we ALL, at some point in our lives, find change difficult, is all to obvious. I have a mental image of the most passioned people on this list. But no-one else. I think I'm pretty dam close too. We need people like you guys to keep the world turning. Or else those of us who can't get to grips with standing still, would have no-one to call a mate in our home towns.

I don't know about all that. Even though I've seen tom push his opinion a lot further than most would like (including me on occasion). I think some peoples reaction to his comments on this subject in particular are more a product of knee jerk reaction (here comes tom) than any kind of comments in his first post. Like JT already said, it was a rather informative observation. It was also a question which he's asked twice and so far (excluding pm's) I believe I'm the only one to respond to that part of it instead of mocking the observation. It's been obvious to me (in the course of this thread alone) that no one even attempted a serious response to his question (which could've sparked more intelligent convo). I think I'd get a little defensive too if I asked a completely valid question and all I got was a bunch of jokes and yeah right's and there HE goes type replies. And on the subject of the Detroit artists dodging tom, I know for a fact that more than a few prominent Detroit artists happen to feel the same way about this years fest (some are playing anyway) but public forums aren't their thing. So my reply to Tom's original question (which every reply so far has artfully dodged in favour of lighthearted humour or derision)which never made it to the list for some reason is included below. -- My original reply: -Tom Asked: does anyone now feel like maybe those concerned initially back in the day were well founded? Any black person in the united states (post colonial)that has concerns regarding oppression/culture thievery/marginalization is well founded. This is not a Detroit affliction. It's an imperialist affliction and the actions observed can be justifiably understood to speak to that specific mentality (in small or large part). In short, I've always felt they were well founded. Carl (et al)'s gotta be saying, 2006 and shxxt still ain't changed. I'd go just for Rob Hood to be honest, but I can't bring myself to support something I don't believe in, strictly for the sake of hedonism. I hope all the rest of you have a ball (cause the current state of the fest can swing on mine). K
