I think in general, people have been pretty straight with posting
information and opinions (including Ben, Mike V, Teresa). The advertising
dumps on the list a while back were crazy but did not go unchecked. Of
course people are opinionated - some of the best messages come from those

dialog we have here (nobody really cares for wholly self-serving schemes).
Aren't we here to share information? I hope the list just doesn't grow up
into an intimidating, experts-only, politicized, junk mailer. That would be
a shame, and a step in the wrong direction.
Hip hop and "acid jazz" (however you describe it) are linked and do

but not quite like this. Keep your ears open.
I think Barry Manilow has got some moments that can be freaked by just the
right remixers/remakers. (I suspect Grand Royal is just getting some
mileage for Mo'Wax out of that ad. You think Swifty would come like that?
Please!) But damn, if nobody on Mo'Wax does it, I might just...
