1) I noticed during our discussion of the death of Hip Hop many referred to it
as being an irrelevent subject. Is it pretty much the consensus of this list
that Hip Hop is outside the subject of AJ? This would really surprise me
considering the wealth of jazzy Hip Hop (Tribe, FJG, Mo' Wax, etc) that is
availible out there, nonetheless if it is not relevent I will drop the discussion with this.
2) I just got the latest issue of Grand Royal which has a fantastic article on
Lee Perry among others. One thing that caught my eye in the Lee Perry article
was the author's reference to trip hop "trendoids!" Funny, I see quite a few
more Beastie Boys and Grand Royal logos than I do Mo'Wax around town. Now who
are the trendoids?
3) The solicitation on this list is getting out of hand. I enjoy hearing about
upcoming shows and record releases, but trying to conduct industry bizzz on thislist is pretty annoying. Most of it is well meaning and useful, but those few
who abuse it ought to read up on basic netiquette. It's good to see that peoplegenerally get gentle reminders when they step over the line and nothing gets toougly here.
Sorry this is so long!
