I think we can thank Earle for that, taking my critical view of a
particular group of SF promoters as a personal attack, while quoting my
message which EXPLICITLY states that I am critical of their approach to
booking who are supposed to be the vanguard of minimal techno, a large
genre which encompasses quite a few varying styles, while they only
focus on a single sub-group of this wider genre.
If the these promoters can't see a legitimate concern of a music fan as
a dissenting opinion but instead get all huffy and puffy about the fact
that someone DARED speak up about their concern that these producers
are not really a fair representation of a larger scene, then maybe they
need to grow some thicker skin. Or is SF a genre monopoly now? we
say who is or isn't minimal, and we do so with our booking selection,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|t! And anyone who thinks differently needs to SHUT UP!
And if producers cannot read a post that contains a balanced criticism
of their performance thoroughly enough, instead of choosing to
personally attack me for not bowing my head to them no matter what I
thought of their music at a show, then maybe that producer should see
whether they're doing music out of the love for it, or out a need to be
unanimoously praised about their every and any creative direction they
choose to take.

but the comment
below is one of the most self-indulgent and indeed laughable
ones seen here in a long, long time.
It certainly doesn't portray John Tejada in any fashion relating
to, you know, reality.
John's work as a DJ and producer stands on its own merits
and most will agree with me that he's one of the best we've
got out there in the electronic music world.

I showed this post to John Tejada (via the elists.Resynthesize site)
and he said Who is this Wojtek retard? I have nothing to do with
Hawtin or his label, I'm not some trendy/popular producer, and there
were 500 people there loving it and it looks like the 4 that didn't
just had to rush to their computers to diss it. 'Nuff said.
he's not a trendy producer? thats laughable. his entire career has
been built off of associating himself with whatever genre/style is
popular at the time! he's never had a signature sound because his
signature sound is ripping off other artists. he can appeal to the 500
hipster morons in attendance all he wants, it doesnt make his music
any better or more original. and we're all really impressed that you
know tejada by the way, thanks for letting us in on that!
when you have your buddy redshift agreeing with you, its not a good
day for the common sense of your argument.
