Be on the lookout for more detailed reviews of Phoenix and all the other
stuff I discovered in England and France in forthcoming "Dino in Europe
posts". I jyust need some time.
Now weighing into the "cool shops" debate, as many would know I am one of
the guiltiest parties for posts of this nature. I have tthree points to
make with regards to this.
Number One: I have always made it clear in my subject headings *exactly*
what the post regards. If the post doesn't interest you simply delete it.
*Don't* bitch about it.
Number Two: Being tied into these stores by others often leads to
discoveries of my own and then I can bring this info back to the list for
te general good of everyone in that region.
Number Three: Like someone else said, the technology is there so why not
use it? We have this massive source of information (the internet,) and so
why the hell wouldn't I (and others,) use it to gather information? I'd be
foolish not to. The a-jazz list has 300 plus people on it right? Many of
these are DJs and musicians and turned on to various "hot spots". As I
said I'd be a fool not to ask. Why stumble blindly around some city when I
can go in there with a reasonably comprehensive list on where to go?
And as the same person said, if I was living in a city like London or San
Fran I'd be happy to help out anyone with info. (As it is, I live in
Hobart, Tasmania. There's no record-stores and no decent night-clubs.)
My $.02.
Dino!
