The one thing that I feel has happened to this list
over the years is that it's gone from people
*discussing* their different point of views to people
pounding down their * I HEART DETROIT TECHNO MORE THAN
YOU * hammers.
I remember when i first joined this list almost
(christ) 5yrs ago? and peopled discussed history,
records etc.I learned so much. This list was
fundamental laying the ground of my music education.
I've observed the list go from this ideology to
Listen to me because I KNOW! followed by two snaps
up in the air and a chickenhead twist of the neck.
Progress only comes from discussion, from listening
to different points of views, digesting, thinking and
then thinking out back again. An intellectual
breathing process if you will. We always seem to come
back to discussions about detroit's past and never
really dive into its possible future.It's the young
talent of detroit that's making it breathe and stay
alive right now and they don't get two seconds air
time on this list, IMO.Why? In my opinion Atomly has a
point, the list has an endless cylce.
Atomly is part of this list,and has been for a long
time and as so, his views should of been digested, not
attacked so personally. This discussion got way too
out of hand and way too personal *IMO*.
I am one of those people who said 'i agree with you'
off list in fear that posts that don't seem to comply
with 'a detroit event/dj/product is flawless' are
attacked. so attack me please. maybe i can end this
crack binge that i refer to as the 313 list.There are
so many different ways to look at this festival, so
many different global perspectives exist on this list.
Please keep that in mind when discussing things like
_adults_.
*burp*
as we used to say...flame on

Well, I think you're wrong, but whatever, it's
not worth arguing
about.
Nothing on this list is worth arguing about,
because every time I
try I
get a bunch of responses from people saying the
same thing over
and over
because they don't understand the point I'm
trying to make and
then get
a bunch of personal replies from people off list
saying I
agree. It's
like shouting at a wall.
your opinion is about doing something youve
never had any
experience doing. i dont know what to say about
that really. how
many free festivals have you thrown with hundreds
of thousands of
attendees? sh*t, have you done ANYTHING even CLOSE
to that scale
of things? the number of things that could
potentially happen in
planning something like this boggles the mind. for
you to sit
there and make comments about their ability to
pull it off when
you couldnt even begin to do so yourself is
absolutely useless. if
you were an organizer of say the love parade in
berlin perhaps
your opinion would be worthwhile. in the meantime
youre just a
critic mouthing off from the peanut gallery.
I'm not trying to piss people off, I'm just
stating my opinion.
clarify that: your unqualified opinion.
I think
the festivals in 2000 and 2001 were some of the
best lineups ever
booked
in North America and were diverse enough and
groundbreaking
enough to
draw in people from all over the continent and
even the world.
Since
then, though, I feel like the festival has
shifted its focus from
the
groundbreaking and forward-thinking to the
nostalgiac and
established.
yeah, last year it shifted fosuc to people from
detroit. what a
novel concept considering the fact that it is the
detroit
electronic music festival. really, if you thought
last year's
lineup of up and coming people alongside some of
the most
influential cats in the business doesnt stand up
to the past
lineups, i dont know what to say.
Anyway, enough. If you wanna go to DEMF, have
fun. I want
Furthur
back.
rave on.
