People start booking agencies without the slightest concept of what it takes to do the job properly. They are inexperienced, they might be incompetent, they might be dishonest, and they might be insane. Only the first of those 4 possible attributes are curable. Many people get surprisingly far

Dale's last release was on M_Nus in 2002. No idea what he's up to now. The myspace page has no tracks that weren't part of his pre-2002 oeuvre. According to myspace, he hasn't logged in since december 09. He's very active on Facebook but he's talking more about politics than music. On Fri, Mar

2010-03-02 Thread kent williams
Sharivari is always cited as the first Detroit Techno record, but given that it's a matter of weeks between when Sharivari was cut and when Alleys was pressed, it is probably better to award a tie. This also happened years before Juan talked to the UK music press and the term 'techno' was coined.

I pulled down Dan Sicko's Techno Rebels and what he writes about Shari Vari and is that there's some debate as to which record hit the streets first. You'd think someone would have some definitive memory -- heck, Mojo is still alive, why doesn't someone ask him? On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 8:16 AM,
