I just subscribed to the list, after meaning to for a long time now. I live
in Brooklyn, and work in Manhattan for streetsound.com I'm pretty musically
obsessed, I guess. I grew up on jazz and rock and blues and folk and hip
hop and reggae and punk... and progressed into anything I can mange to find
time to listen to. I'm heavily into dance & electronic music from almost
every genre (except trance and hardcore, which i really dislike almost in
their entirity) as I feel like there are artists in most genres that
transcend their style and simply make music that's genius.
My job keeps me really immersed in tons of the music I love. I won't be one
big advertisement on the list, but I'll drop links to relevant stuff every
now & then, on our site or others. The most obvious things you all should
know about on our site... Gilles Peterson's Worldwide archives (you all
probably already know about it, I imagine!)

Another show, in a similar vein, is Gamall Awad's 'On The Corner' which is
done in our studio. He's the fellow who used to be Giant Step's
publicist... he works with Jonah Sharp on a project on Ubiquity, and his
taste is broken beat, latin flavored, future jazz listening. He's still a
publicist, so he get's "nuff exclusives" as he like to say.

And we book guests for our feature shows that'll be good listening for you
all. Last night we were supposed to Ashley Beedle on (of Black Science
Orchestra, etc) but he canceled from the ariport. We have archived sets &
interviews from people on Compost Records and such. Whatever's... I just
wanna conversate and learn. Speaking of... is Small Change still on the
list? Aw yeah...
As for a top ten list... that's really too hard, but here's sort of a
representation:
1. Velvet Underground
2. Miles Davis
3. DJ Premier
4. Jeff Mills
5. Pink Floyd
6. Squarepusher
7. The JB's
8. John Coltrane
9. Jimi Hendrix
10. The entire drum & bass scene, because I can't pick just one producer!
Easy, look forward to the discourse!
