(313) Sad News
Rick Wilhite has closed his shop 'Vibes New And Rare Music' on 8 Mile. As anyone who's been knows, it was a great spot and will be missed. Not just by visitors but by Detroit DJs and house heads in general. However, the number for the shop is still operational and Rick's talking about doing mailorder so it's not quite the end of the story yet. D.
(313) sad news for any old ne-raves list heads
-- Forwarded message -- From: Keith Flippin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 11:35 AM Subject: Sad news about an RS (rhythm society) Friend Dear Friends, It is with a heavy heart that I bear sad tidings to the community: RS Friend Eric Tiedemann has died. There has been no word yet, that I have heard, regarding cause of death; to the best of my knowledge, he was found in his home, and an investigation is ongoing. More details on that, along with funeral or memorial arrangements, will be posted as they become known. I would respectfully request that, in the meantime, we avoid speculating about it on the lists. Like me, Eric was sponsored by Karin Wertheim, and has been a friend of ours since we all attended an NE-Raves net-party in Rochester, NY, in 1997. It was that online electronic dance community that brought all of us together before we slowly, each in turn, filtered our way across the country and into the RS. Back in those days, we used to call him Dances With Beverages, though my mother always referred to him as Pajamas Eric, due to his fondness for the comfort of plaid flannel dance-wear. Eric was the first person Karin sponsored into the RS, and with me he was co-heresiarch of the RS Peninsula Meditation Group from 2005 to 2006. He also served on the Tech Team, and co-lead Spiritual Emergence and the Dance Ceremony for exPeRiEnce, the 2007 RS Retreat, with Christine Benvenuto. Most recently, he led Bishops Desk for Magic, and was kind enough to submit a copy of the Bishops Desk Binder to the wiki so it no longer needs to be re-created for each event. He was a man of wildly diverse interests: ecstatic dance, the supremacy of breakbeat as a musical art form, Thelema, Buddhism, NLP, Robert Anton Wilson, Robert Heinlein, David Deida, Nietzsche, computer technology, entheogens, quantum theory...pure geekery of every sort, kind, and manner, on which he could discourse at length, and in depth, once you got him started. Though I had lost track of him for a while after he moved from Philly to Cali, upon reconnecting at Dance, my first ANDC in Fall'05, our friendship resumed immediately as if the lacuna had never occurred. He was that kind of guy; my confidant, my mentor. Eric was a true friend, one of those without whose generous assistance on numerous levels I could never have taken root here. He was my biggest fan, encouraging and facilitating my DJing even when I thought I'd put that well behind me. His presence will be dearly missed, and his physical absence keenly and palpably felt. Eric, I miss you; I love you. Eric S. Tiedemann, 1966-2008 http://est.livejournal.com/ http://hyperreal.org/~est/ Unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of their true Wills; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their wills; yea, the accomplishment of their wills. -Liber XV, Ecclesiæ Gnosticæ Catholicæ Canon Missæ -- peace, frank dj mix archive: http://www.deejaycountzero.com
RE: (313) Sad news: Club Tresor is Shut
Weird, I was just watching this show on cable this weekend about the rebuilding of Potzdammer Platz and was telling my wife that the club was slated to be sold or shut down some time soon and then made a comment that we should visit before it does. Haven't the authorities been trying to close Tresor for some time now because it sits on property that has seen a *huge* increase in value? Seems like they finally got their excuse. MEK Partly true Michael, but not the whole story. A big problem with the land at Potzdammer is that it simply has seen no substantial maintenance since before WWII! Remember, Tresor is the vault of a 1930s department store. The land is contaminated, has antiquated utility services like sewerage, electricity etc (when I was there in Nov 2001, there was a massive stagnant mass of water near the Tresor club which I was told was quite normal, yeuch!) not to mention being constructed with the use of some outmoded materials like asbestos, to name one. So you see, whilst the government has wanted to get hold of all the land at Potzdammer and many other places in the East for most of the last decade, the motivations are partly to regenerate the embarrassing shabbiness of the capital city of a G7 country, and yes, partly to flog it off to some fat cigar smoking bloke (stereotype alert!). The point is, in this case, my feeling is, that without public (read govt) input, bringing the conditions of the Tresor up to scratch would be impossible. Note: there's every chance of Tresor re-opening (after some years of temporary residence) in the original locale, after the devt work is done - the public works proposals have some provision (read funding) for community and leisure facilities.

(313) Sad news: Club Tresor is Shut
Hello everyone... ..I hope that's only temporary ... but who knows... :/ anyway - read on... deep-z, http://deep.live.lv I don't even know where to start about last Saturday. The Aphorism is a 4 man band from the south of Germany, and they have releases coming up on Framework. They came up from Freiburg on Saturday to peform at Tresor. When we showed up at the club for the sound check, there was water every where. The club has low 10 ft ceilings, and they had some how set up one of those out door umbrellas down there. There was a leak. There was a table for them to set up on, and they realized soon that there was a leak directly above this table. The one that they were about to put thousands of dollars of electronic equipment on. So the light guy on the sound guy were working on some way to keep the water off of them. They found a large banner/tarp which had a picture of Juan Atkins, Derrick Carter and Kevin Saunderson (These are famous techno folk for those of you who don't know) and used it as a sort of umbrella with a couple of rods holding it up. The process took about an hour, and it was quite rediculous to watch. Eventually the guys started their live performance, at 2 am. It was going pretty well, until the drum machine started acting funny because it had gotten too much water on it. The word was now spreading downstairs (there are two floors in Tresor) that there was a bunch of police upstairs, and they were checking every one for drugs. People stayed downstairs, and kept partying. While I was watching them perform, a member of the crowd came up to me and said something in German. Eventually he asked me who I am, I said, Bob Brown. And he said... Bob Brown, no, really? You are not Bob Brown... He stepped away, and came back: Really, you are Bob Brown? Prove it, so I showed him my driver's license. He went over and got his friend, and I heard him saying Bob Brown is here!!! Very very crazy, quite a trip really. He wanted me to sign his shirt, but I didn't have a marker. I signed a sticker for him, and told him to sign up for the newsletter. So then the cops came downstairs, and wanted identification from the band. While they were performing. Crazy! The best part was, that the space behind the table was very tight, and the police officer was trying to squeeze through, and the band member (Markus) was dancing and rubbing his ass all over her, while she tried to get buy. It was very funny. Just after that happened, a leak let loose in the tarp above their heads, and all this water poured down right where he was moving his mouse. Crazy, they cleaned it up and put an empty glass under the leak... The DJ who was supposed to go on after the band hadn't show up yet, so we figured that he had gotten caught up in the Police mess upstairs. The DJ who was on earlier played again, and soon enough the police shut down the party downstairs. Ironically enough, he was playing a Bob Brown record when they told him to shut it off. I figure that was the last straw for them. They had heard enough crazy music, and that was beyond their limit. The Police escorted every one out two by two, and gave each person a thorough search, and then take their information down. When I got outside I realized that there were about 300 police involved in this operation. They had flood lights, and enough paddy wagons to take all 600 people that were at the club to jail. The Police ended only found 28 people with drugs. The whole thing was very strange. The club is closed for further review. Unreal! Tresor is closed. Let us hope that my record won't be the last one played in Tresor. I will be posting some pictures and video of the night on the Framework website. I am in Freiburg, with the Aphorism. I am 20 minutes from Switzerland, and 30 minutes from France. How about that. Sort of a half vacation, will be going to the black forest, and the Largest European theme park. I am cooking the guys dinner tomorrow night. Roasted Chickens, Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Some type of Green. I would do Collards, but I don't think I will find em over here. I will probably go with Swiss Chard, some beans and Greens I will talk to you all soon... I am sure I will have another story after this weekend. I am playing here in Freiburg on Friday, and then in Stuttgart on Saturday night. Bye bye. Bob.

Stereolab's Mary Hansen Dead at 36 Ryan Schreiber reports: Mary Hansen, singer and guitarist for the experimental pop group Stereolab, died on Monday after being struck by a car while riding her bicycle in London. Martin Pike, co-owner of Stereolab's Duophonic Super 45's imprint with Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier, was extremely saddened by the loss when we spoke with him via telephone this morning. It's incredibly tragic, said Pike. We're all going to miss her. It's just a bit too soon. Even though it happened on Monday, all of us only [recently] found out. We're all still very numbed by it all. The band's official statement reads: The suddenness of her death has shocked the band. Mary was a special person. Our thoughts are with her family and friends who will miss her greatly. Hansen, originally from near Brisbane, Australia, joined Stereolab in 1992 after the release of Peng!. She also contributed vocals to bands such as Moonshake and The Wolfhounds, and made appearances on releases by Mouse on Mars, Brokeback, and the High Llamas, whose Sean O'Hagan has been responsible for brass and string arrangements on many a Stereolab LP. Mary Hansen was 36.

Re: (313) Sad news
Dammit this is horrible. Stereolab is one of the most 'techno' bands I can think of, even when they don't use electronics, especially in recent years. I feel extremely lucky to have seen them play live while she was with us. It was one of the best (and 'livest') performances I've ever seen. Listening to their music helps some, but those la la la's and h's don't sound 1/2 as sweet as they're supposed to. People who don't know much about them can (and should) find out more here: http://www.stereolab.co.uk http://www.koly.com/stereolab About the only thing of much consolence to me right now is the lyrics to my favorite song by them, 'Crest': If there's been a way to build it There'll be a way to destroy it Things are not all that out of control This is a happy picture: http://www.stereolab.co.uk/pictures/index.php?picture=14offset=0 :) Tristan = Text/Mixes: http://phonopsia.tripod.com Music: http://www.mp313.com Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] New Mix in mp3, 'Live in Iowa City' available for a short time from http://phonopsia.isoprax.com - Original Message - From: Data General [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 3:42 PM Subject: (313) Sad news Stereolab's Mary Hansen Dead at 36 Ryan Schreiber reports: Mary Hansen, singer and guitarist for the experimental pop group Stereolab, died on Monday after being struck by a car while riding her bicycle in London.
