Re: (313) Detroit Historical Exhibit
I went opening night and couldn't hear anything ... there wasn't *any* music? I'm definitely surprised at that one. I assumed that the video clips would switch out and some of the buttons triggered more than just interviews? well, for those of us (a.k.a. casual museum goers) that couldn't make it to the opening, there was no music to listen to other than what was playing beneath the 2-minute interview clips. I imagine it wouldn't have been to difficult to set up one or two listening stations playing a few different tracks or just a simple Mojo mix. As for club culture ... that wouldn't exactly be our gift to the world, now would it? I think club/rave culture would have crowded more essential information out IMHO, especially considering most of the history covered in the exhibit is pre-rave (at least in Detroit). No, club culture wasn't quite our gift to the world (hehe) but again, for the lay person, a little context might be nice. And, as far as I saw, there wasn't even a mention of Motor (I may have totally missed it, though). Not to fault them too much but they never even described what a DJ actually does. They seemed far more pre-occupied with finding album covers than they did with trying to inform their audience. -d On Sunday, January 19, 2003, at 11:21 PM, kenneth taylor wrote: examination of club culture? _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

[313] open letter to Detroit
Courtesy of Detroit journalist and educator Kristin Palm: Like the movie title says, last years DEMF indeed felt like a long drive home. I say this not because I am one of the legions of Detroits techno fanatics I was a new wave teenager in Michigans culturally bereft north country during the famed Music Institue days and, while I know and respect techno musics history, I wouldnt have known Carl Craig from the Chemical Brothers before Memorial Day last year (yes, thats an exaggeration). I say this because I am a Detroiter. What Carl Craig created last year with the first DEMF was more than a festival, more than a tribute, more than a home base for a music that has had to travel too far for too long. More important than any of that, Carl created a community. By booking three days of non-stop hip-hop, techno, electro, acid jazz, DJs, PAs and MCs, Carl created a place where Detroiters of all ages, races and ethnic groups did not for one second think about all those artificial barriers that still divide us in our everyday lives, because we were too busy grooving alongside suburbanites and tourists from around the world. He created a space where all of us, despite our perceived differences felt welcome and comfortable and safe. And, above all, he showed us how much we, Detroiters, collectively, have to be proud of. From the bombastic beats of Slum Village (or Slum Willage as my Bosnian friend calls them, just to underscore their vast appeal) to the Kraftwerk-by-way-of-Cass-Ave. delivery of Adult. to the historic collaboration between Derrick May and Last Poet Omar Bin-Hassan and the deep, early-morning grooves of Theo Parrish, Carl gave us an ultra-live, in-our-faces, dance-our-asses-off picture of where we1ve been, where were going and, beyond everything else, what we could become. Over one million people, from the Ren Cen to Rotterdam, agreed with his vision so wholeheartedly theyre still talking about it today. Whatever the differences between Carl and Pop Culture Media1s Carol Marvin, be they artistic, professional or, more than likely, petty, I can think of no way the DEMF can continue without its visionary, the man who sees the DEMF in terms of its spirit, not its sponsors. This point is underscored for me whenever I think of just how peacefully last years DEMF progressed. Not only did everyone groove together in harmony, I witnessed none of the annoyances that plague typical festivals and venues. No drunks shaking bare beer bellies in the middle of a tight-knit crowd, no underage kids puking in trashcans, no parking lot potfests, or any of the other reminders of social unease encountered regularly at places like Pine Knob (excuse me, DTE Energy Music Theatre). Instead of Drink! Drink! Drink!, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world punctuated Richie Hawtin's closing set with cheers of Detroit! Detroit! Detroit! It was an earth-shaking moment, to be sure. I think a large reason for this phenomenon was the community spirit of Carls event. I wonder what the difference will be this year when, in addition to the C-Pop Stage - named for a cultural institution and true Detroit believer - we have the Miller Genuine Draft and Bacardi stages. Feeling good? Loving your neighbor? Well, try this jello shot and youll feel even better! Hell, try about ten! Then get in your Ford Focus and drive home! It saddens me immensely to say this, but the DEMFs downward spiral has begun. And my guess is that by this time next year it will be spinning out of control. For Memorial Day 2002, I predict well be sitting around the barbecue again, grousing about the infusion of drunk-assed kids and maniac drivers (in their Ford Explorers, of course) clogging up downtown, and we'll reminisce about that brief time in our citys history when we all felt like family and Hart Plaza felt like home. *please direct responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

more political crap...
Being Canadian, I feel somewhat removed or exhonerated from any duty to fight back against the US government, but this voice of dissent on a techno list can only echo so far. I'm totally with you in your fight but if you really feel it, it's got to stretch further than 313. Everyone's in the same boat so now's the time to start petitions, email your local politicians, become part of Public Interest Research Groups, or take some type of action. The microsound community is employing their art for political purposes and is planning a noise demonstration on the White House lawn (a la Black Flag/ Minor Threat - punk for those who aren't familiar). In fact, a number of noise artists staged a similar concert two weeks ago in Quebec city during the FTAA Summit of the Americas. Like I say, being in Canada makes me an armchair activist of sorts in this regard but it seems so unAmerican to see America so passive during this entire electoral debacle... ready...setFLAME ken _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
DEMF vs. MUTEK (toronto-detroit)
I'm not sure if this was cleared up or not but MUTEK is NOT the same weekend as the DEMF. MUTEK is the following weekend. ken _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

eno and radio 4
Tom-- Thanks for that post about Radio 4's Sex, Drugs and Four Minutes of Silence. To call Cage's spoken pieces enlightening is truly an understatement.

313 humour
hey all-- 313 humour can win you stuff too! send all responses to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are in the process of completing the 2nd installment of our mix series, MIDNIGHT EXPRESS. For the liner notes in the first album, David Alvarado compiled a list of Tips for world travellers. Midnight Express II will feature a list of humorous, one-liners focusing on the DJ obsessive culture in which we live. This time, the theme is: You know you've been hanging around DJs (nightclubs, record stores) for too long, when... Some examples of responses which will appear are: 1. You watch the turn signals on cars and know exactly when the indicators will flash at the same time. 2. When listening to a tape in your car you suddenly feel left out of the mix so you tweak the EQ on your stereo as you bob your head with the phat beats. 3. Your doctor tells you that's Technics elbow you have, not tennis elbow. 4. You can tell the difference between house, tech-house, progressive house, acid house, underground house, deep house, classic house, disco house, garage house, minimal house, experimental house, or hard house, but you can't tell the difference between your house or your neighbors after you had 20 too many shots while out partying that night. 5. In a restaurant you are offered the daily special and you ask the waiter if that is the only platter that matters. Do you have one ? If so, email us by replying to this email at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any mailing list member who submits a response which appears in the liner notes, will receive a FREE advance copy of MIDNIGHT EXPRESS II. We look forward to your contributions. Thank you, the Guidance Team. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

for those about to cross the border
Really, crossing the border from Windsor to Detroit is not that much of a drag or pain or whatever everyone seems to think it is. I cross nearly every day and I've never had any trouble nor did I experience any while crossing to last year's festival. Here's some tips for a simple and quick crossing. Be certain of the country of your birth and say it when they ask you citizen of what country? Then when they say where are you going? just tell them the electronic music festival at Hart Plaza. I know it sounds tricky but it works. Also note that the tunnel bus takes you right to the gate of the festival if you decide that parking is a hassle too. ken sorry for the smartassiness _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
Burns' Jazz Gets Burned
From: diana potts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ken Burns' Jazz gets burned Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..sorry about the first one. pushed tab, enter too soon. thought this might be of interest to some: http://slate.msn.com/culturebox/entries/01-01-30_97997.asp d Thanks, Diana, for posting that article. It kinda cemented the fact that Wynton Marsalis' heavy-handedness in the documentary was responsible for the apparent burning out of jazz in the latter part of the century. This is not the first time that Marsalis has proven himself as the enemy of jazz advancement. (See his involvement in the Lincoln Center) Preservation is one thing Abortion is another.

Hi y'all, Did Juan Atkins spin at Temple on Thursday? I was there from about 11 till 2 but Juan didn't appear to be spinning.

Roland MS-1 sampler question
Hi everyone, I just bought a Roland MS-1 digital sampler but it has no manual. It came with what looks to be a blank memory card. Does anyone have a manual that they can photocopy or perhaps lead me to a place where I can procure one? What does a regular full memory card look like?
