I was torn with what rocker to use as my example I wanted to put Chuck Berry but thought maybe many would not know of him or others like they would Elvis. Yes Elvis was no innovator but he was an elevator.dsat wrote:now don't make me quote PE about Elvis!!Anonym wrote:Now people may not like the early form of this music just like a rock fan who listens to Death Metal would not like Elvis but that does not remove the fact that they were innovators who built what you now stand on.
elvis was no innovator, he merely did what others did before him
i wonder if he actually ever wrote a song himself, he was great perfomer though
little richard man!! he's rock'n'roll!! it's all about long tall sally!

wow. i really couldnt agree more with that. origins are bullshit. it is all myth-making and myth-taking. but then again, perhaps detroit needs to be the original home of techno much more than other places do...Anonym wrote:Those are plenty of examples now music travels fast and after a new sound is invented or discovered anyone can make any style but the ORIGIN only comes once and in one place... Many parts or influences may contribute to the style but it is still new and is not the parts but the sum of the parts.
Glad you agree but everything has a origin they are either undisputed like the birth of techno in Detroit or like others cannot be pinned down and are disputed with more then one party or group claiming to have started things like rock and roll... If you are looking for a dispute then it's that "Sharevari" a song by "A Number Of Names" was the first techno song in Detroit....chrisdisco wrote:wow. i really couldnt agree more with that. origins are bullshit. it is all myth-making and myth-taking. but then again, perhaps detroit needs to be the original home of techno much more than other places do...Anonym wrote:Those are plenty of examples now music travels fast and after a new sound is invented or discovered anyone can make any style but the ORIGIN only comes once and in one place...

Another "bitch blog" from one of the old guard on how the music sucks now.
Most of the old techno and house heroes are stuck in a timewarp, not doing anything new to push music and a new generation. Most of the big Detroit, Chicago or NYC djs don`t even have a website or other new creative ways to push stuff. Great labels like Transmat, KMS and Metroplex lay dormant. UR and Planet E being the in Detroit, Ferrer and FK in NYC being the exception, etc..............
Time moves on. Daft Punk have moved on from the french house sound. Fatcat have evolved to a record label. Peacefrog have evolved. Richie Hawtin have moved on and created Minus and Beatport. Tons of European labels like Styrax and Perlon push new stuff, etc.....
On Sneak:
He still play the same music he did 10 years ago.
