yeah, windsor is much closer to detroit at 1.7 miles than belleville (home
of the belleville three) is at 29.1 miles.

in fact, you'd probably pay more in gas driving to detroit from magic
juan's "birthplace of techno" home than you would for the bridge or tunnel
toll coming from rich's home. i guess it depends on whether or not you're
driving the fuel efficient detroit techno ford focus.

Hello DJ,

the catalogue of Plus 8 and Definitive Records. You can have it and play it
in a week!

Check out the attached offer and order form to see the complete package that
we offer. Than fill out the form or go to www.finalscratch.com to download
an order form, fax it to us and we'll contact you to deal with the details.

Order now, there is only a limited number of ProFS systems available.

With kind regards,

is a CRUTCH. it's BULLSHIT. it should be MOCKED.

I think digital distribution will eventually push out vinyl and cd and
every other form of music distribution... but we're talking a long time in
the future.  clearly finalscratch is an indicator of this trend, as is
napster.  but there are a lot of economic concerns that'll need to be
sorted out first, not to mention the cultural ones that've been brought up
so loudly here.

it'll be a slow transition, and we won't see it happen for a good 10 or 15
years. for now, i see finalscratch as more of a practical thing than
anything. if you're going on a world tour where you do 4 to 6 hour sets
every night (as rich and many other djs do), which would you rather lug
around? hundreds of pounds of vinyl or a 4 pound notebook?  you can carry
the laptop on the plane, not worry about it getting lost in transit,
listen to your tracks on the plane, whatever.

in the future I'm sure we'll see things like finalscratch being able to
control your favorite music software, further allowing the blending of
live pa and dj set.  or who knows what else.  i can't see anything that
extends your creative capabilities the way this does as anything but a
good thing.

since funk and soul are such desirable things in a dance track, does that

[313] change to demf guide for palm

2001-05-22 Thread chrise

at the request of mike taylor, I've removed the html version of the demf
guide from my web server.  I humbly apologize for being so rude as to have
pasted it into a usable format.

You can still get the lineup from my server, as I *ahem* compiled that
myself, from demf.org, and didn't infringe on mr. taylor's intellectual
property.  True, you can get the lineup from demf.org yourself, but I've
formatted it for palm, so you can easily refer to it while you're at the
festival.

So, if you want the lineup in a nice, easy hypertext format... point your
browser or avantgo software to http://www.postraveclub.com/demf.html. 

If, however, you want the full demf faq as compiled by mike taylor, get
out your microsoft products and open that .rtf file. it's available
exclusively at http://music.hyperreal.org/demf/

and if you've already downloaded the version i had posted before, and you
like it, i suggest you not sync your palm between now and the festival.

XOXOXOXO PLUR,

cheers! :D :D :D

[313] DEMF guide for palm/html!

2001-05-22 Thread chrise

Hi,

So i spent a few hours formatting the demf guide in html that's optimized
for viewing on a palm pilot or similar device.  (that is, it's just text
and a little graphic).

it's at http://www.postraveclub.com/demf.html.

If you've got a palm pilot with avantgo software, all you have to do is
log in at www.avantgo.com and choose "create new channel." put in the
address listed above, and make sure you've got link depth set to
3.  includ images if you want, or don't.  There's just a little demf logo
at the top, you're not missing much if you don't include it.  Then you
just need to save the channel, and sync your pilot.  That's all there is
to it.

I'm relying on you all to error-check things for me, and email me with any
corrections.  PLeas don't write asking for help getting it onto your pda
though :)

enjoy,

you can just copy the text out, and paste it into a memo on palm desktop,
and then sync it up.  

A better option would be if someone ever gets it coded into html you could
set it as a custom channel on avantgo.  That way (if the person who put it
into html was so inclined) you could have bold headlines, and they could
put in index points for different sections.

hi,

this is very off-topic, but at the same time somewhat on-topic.  the
powers that be may smite me for it, but what's new?

I've got a really nice silkscreen sitting around here, as well as some
emulsion that's still good, and some suitable silkscreen ink.  But I don't
have access to an exposing unit.  I'd make up a few (NO DON'T ASK ME FOR
ONE.) carl craig supporting t-shirts if i had a way of exposing the
screen. 

So does anyone have experience in the ways of ghetto-exposure?  Basically
I'm thinking a whole lotta lamps, or just plain old sunlight.  Trust me,
you really don't want me to try to hand-stencil them :P

anyway thanks...  this may be off-topic but it's for a good cause... a

where the hell would they put them all?  there's like 60
performers!  They'd have to be in like 8 point type to fit them all in
any sort of print ad.  I'm pretty sure it was a conscious decision to list
the performers in alphabetical order such that there's no hierarchy of
headliners vs supporting acts, so that makes it a little hard for ad
designers to pick out a select few to put in an ad. If carl craig, as
creative director, had decided to highlight a few performers as
headliners, then I'm sure they would've been mentioned in ad campaigns.

I know you're all looking for every chance to demonize ford for their
involvement, but i think this is more grasping at straws than
anything.  Why don't you wait and see how things turn out?  Then if it
sucks afterwards, complain all you want.  I might even join in.

I was going to point out this quote as well... who the hell on that lineup

talent. But I don't see anyone on there that I'd even remotely call a
detroit imitator.  It almost sounds like he's trying to imply that
anything not from detroit is inherently an imitation.  I'd like to think
he doesn't have his head that far up his ass, but it's hard to see what

True, the lineup isn't as representative of detroit talent as it was last

Personally, I find a few messages about something I may or may not care
about (gear, in this case) to be far less alienating than people telling
me what I am and am not allowed to talk about in a public forum. 

I don't see how the absence of an admin actively envorcing rules makes
everyone think it's their job to be list-vigilantes, enforcing the
(intentionally vague, i'd assume) faq as they interpret it.  Note that the
"self policing" mentioned in the faq PROBABLY means "police
yourself." This is, of course, my interpretation. But i find it pretty
hard to believe that anyone could interpret "self police" to mean "police
others." Also, please refer to the line that says "building a gate around
a community is never the answer."

What if i said track IDs shouldn't be allowed, because a large percentage
of the subscribers aren't djs, and don't care for that kind of thing?  Am
I any more right than you?  

Not only are abstract discussions of what's on-topic the most off-topic
thing I can think of, they discourage the open dialogue that makes a

I've used it some, it seems to be the most capable all-software mp3 mixer
out there.  of course it comes nowhere near mixing with vinyl (or
finalscratch, i'm assuming) - but you can easliy throw together a nice set
with it.  I do like the filters built into the software too.

i think it's also about not having to deal with the incompetent

scale events (read: raves) in the states.

Having said that, I think there's plenty of promoters and venues in the

drag your mp3 or wav or whatever from wherever it is to the new disc
window, double click on it, choose the tab that says indexes, splits, and
something else.  this will bring up a little diagram of the full
track.  click wherever you want a split, hit the split button.  if you
want exact control (you probably do), once you hit split you can hit edit
and type in an exact minute and second where you want the split to
happen.  repeat this process till you've got all the splits you want put
in there.

when you hit ok, it'll ask you if you want to split the file into
separate audio tracks.  choose yes - it won't split the actual
file.  Make sure you select all the tracks and set the gap between tracks
to 0 seconds, unless you like big gaps in the middle of your mix :P

of course, make sure that you either already own the mix you're splitting,
or that it's something that's unavailable for purchase :P

Re: [313] mp3 to cd with winamp

if the mix is only 78 minutes, just buy an 80 minute cd and burn it all on

or, if you're using nero (which i highly reccomend you do), you can choose
to overburn the cd - i think generally you can get about 85 minutes on an
80 minute cd... a certain crazy dutchman claims to have got 90, but that's

good luck - $79 one way is very reasonable. I'm assuming that's on
northwest?  Since MSP and DTW are both northwest hub cities, they pretty
much have a hold on the low-priced flights between the two.  You're not
gonna get any cheaper unless you drive... and i find that the 90 minutes
in a plane is much more comfortable than 12-13 hours in a car, no matter
how pimp your ride might be.

I've got a bachelor's degree in art and design from the university of
wisconsin, and a good job as a graphic designer doing work that's seen all
over the country.  I try not to bask in my friends' glory, but they're
pretty succseeful too.  What's your point?  

My point remains - while you may have an education in film, you have yet
to direct a nationally distributed film, and yet you feel free to
criticize them.  One might argue that while i haven't reached
international superstar level and have no desire to, i have an
"education" in techno music.

I am making mixes and tracks. I am "Ding I Yself" you might say. Whether
or not my attempts are "better" than mills is in the eye of the beholder,
wouldn't you say?

I've got no problem with you critiquing the critiques.  I do, however,
have a problem with you COMMANDING us not to make critiques.  what was
that you just said about this being a free country?

err, no i don't.

see, that's the whole thing about opinions.  each person's is as valid as
the next, be they innovator, inventor, or first-time listener.  

Ever been to a movie you didn't like?  Better yet, ever seen a movie
billed as "innovative" or "a classic" that you didn't like?  I highly
doubt you've directed a feature-length motion picutre which has recieved
national distribution. Yet I bet you'd feel free (as a bird) to voice your
opinion if you thought a movie was crap.  

The whole idea of having to pay some sort of unattainable dues before
you're entitled to voice any sort of criticism is ridiculous. You may be
ALAN OLDHAM, but your position as a figure of some importance in the
detroit scene doesn't place your opinion above any of ours.  if you'd like
to start a dialogue where we discuss Jeff Mills's current performances in
relation to his past works, I'll be more than glad to participate.  But
hovering in the background and coming out to tell us all to shut up just
doesn't work.

I didn't see any mention of why it's listed as "LIVE AT FUSE" anywhere in
