The Headz listserv is up and running.
To subscribe send mail to listserv@217.metadesign.com with no subject
and 'subscribe headz' (no quotes) in the body of the message. I had
hoped to customize some of the messages that listserv spits out, but
I'll do that later.
Here's some of my thoughts around what I'd like this list to do:
=95 be an open and engaging forum for people with 'developed' musical
tastes, with styles ranging from Trip Hop - Drum 'n Bass - Acid Jazz -
Blues - Hip Hop - Electronica - Jazz - Latin Jazz - Soul - Dub - Reggae
- World etc.(there is a thread of continuity in all this somewhere...),
who want to continue to expand their musical horizons in an environment
for displaced musicologists. (how's *that* for a run-on sentence!)
=95 it is important to me that this listserv remain 'content heavy', in
other words - please don't send 'me too' or other one-liners to the
list. It is a **waste of time**. If you want to do it, respond to people
privately - make a friend.
=95 I would very much like if we can limit discussion to what's happening=
,
new releases, good reads, reviews, content creators, URL's, top 10's,
etc.=20
This list will have a web site shortly - archives, top 10 lists, book
resources, links etc. I'm open for suggestions and have some cycles to
spare (i've worked on 45 or so websites).
thanks to the aj list for the 2 years i've been on, but there's a bit
too much banter for me these days.
hope to see you there.
-----------------------------------------------------------
on a personal note:
=95 types of record labels that I'm interested in discussing:
+ Pork
+ Warp
+ Ninja Tune
+ Ubiquity
+ Blood & Fire
+ Wordsound
=95 types of acts:
+ Kruder & Dorfmeister
+ Fila Brazillia
+ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
+ Funki Porcini
+ Donald Byrd
+ Horace Andy
+ Marvin Gaye
+ Autechre
(blunted, he realizes how long this list could really go on...)
you get the idea.
