    yes, but wouldn't it be nice if you *didn't* have to
    pay import prices AND people that aren't music fiends
    knew who gilles was? it's been how many years, and
    people still say "what's that?" when i mention 2-step
    garage or even acid-jazz (fewer, but i still get "that
    look").

    that, and people asking you if you play hiphop when
    you're spinning roots manuva... it's annoying that
    there can be so much pressure to play the same tunes
    (not just the genres) that people heard on the way to
    the club! if you just want to hear music you know,
    throw a house party, invite all your friends and play
    your cds!!

    trying to cool down,
