I've personally never been drawn to XLR8R magazine.
but that's just me.
Same here.
IMHO, I think music interviews are hard to win with.
How many times can you ask (or read) 'so how did you
get into electronic music' I'd like to see more
politically or socially motivated questions from
journalists-seeing as most artists are influenced from
social/political situations.
This would be nice.
I myself have for the most part been influenced by tonality and
frequencies when it came to my artistic push. Social and political
situations has it's place in the influence factor as we are all a
product of our environment. It is not about the artist, it's what
the artist is pushing that counts to me. I find that people get to
hung up in the trend of who an artist is rather then then the content
the artist push. I would like to know way a artist chose that color
or sound rather then what he/she has to make it with or what do you
think is happening to music..
Provoking emotion with the use of frequencies. If you can fell your
sphincter coming out your mouth because the low-end frequency is
pushing so hard on you as you loose your breath, think of that
emotion . Ummm brings me peace............
However, it's not usually
what the readers what to read-instead they'd prefer
gear questions. I still think a DJ needs to do an
HONEST diary of what happens on the road. Gimme the
wild times.
This is true..

ps.Transcribing interviews is a b*tch too, unless you
have that futuristic stuff that does it for you.
