I don't think isolationist policies of any kind can help the US at this
stage.
I just don't think Americans have any idea how they are perceived even by
loyal allies right now.
The Australian/US trade agreement has been so one-way for us it's not funny.
American mass culture dominates the world,
The US, not Europe, is the cultural, political and economic hegemony.
assuming you are attaching a connotative meaning like oppression to the term
hegemony, then i totally agree and we americans are also
victims of our own hegemony...in fact there would be no need for such a
suggestion except
earth sucks,
hurray for earth

No 'hegemony' does not necessarily imply oppression at all.
But the US is like the Roman Empire - a super coloniser - and it will fall
if Americans don't make the attempt to look at themselves from outside and
engage. I always believed Clinton was more inclined that way but that's my

I understand his angst, I really do. I am just saying how his stance could
backfire as most people
Lastly, I depart with this. Why is that the USA is up in arms when
technology jobs are outsourced to India and China, yet not at all
DISGUSTED when the European magazines and scene come into our scenes
demanding huge fees and arriving with difficult attitudes, resulting to a
trend of the US
yeah all that confused me too.
it would make sense if it was something about european artists that was
stopping the US scene develop or were stifling it. i didnt think that
was the case at all. a lot of american artists are choosing to move to
europe for one reason or another, which is a
I have to agree with you Brendan- the is no way in the world that
European DJ's have a monopoly on being bad-attitude, money grabbers- I
know enough club promoters to have heard 1000 different storied about
supposedly underground US DJ's acting like prima donna twats. That
doesn't EVER make
Alala...Freedom Kiss, of course, cause its the Freedom Touch.
Btw, i read a survey result this morning, that after this debate Bush/Kerry,
if the vote would take place in France, Kerri would win with 87%. Thats
crazy.
But as Robert says : Let's not turn this into a Europe vs USA bitter flame
war.
People,
The last thing we need right now is a THEM and US war, not only is it
juvenile, it's clear the work of someone who doesn't understand the
scene or the people. Being a twat isn't exclusive to
DJ's/Promoters/Builders/Bakers/Candle Stick Makers - Wake up. I suggest
you take your bitter

Agreed Martin. Alex, I agree with you that its pretty annoying to have this.
However I do think that it's reflective of a fairly rare attitude within the
sphere of the music which we like.

Is all of this political/geographical stuff a response to the downfall
of Techno in america?
Because if it is, it's pointed at the wrong region. The problems we're
having here have been caused by americans, not europeans. I'm a producer
and not d.j. so I'm not talking in those terms. Don't get me
Oh btw, I'm in america,,

I'm not even sure if it's an issue of fault. It's just the way
markets evolve.
I've sent out demos to lots of labels, and the ones who've responded
with interest happened to all be in Europe. I'd be happy to release
music on US labels. But if my music isn't what they're looking for, so
