i dont know what youre saying. youre saying coverage is good, coverage is bad, coverage is inevitable......? you seem to be constantly downplaying the role of media coverage and then saying it could be a good thing. Let's get to the bottom of this. Coverage can be good. Coverage can be bad. Coverage can be inevitable. Some people apparently think that the less media coverage the rave scene gets the better. I am not sure I agree necessarily. The only thing left I have to say about coverage is that it is not necessarily bad, even for the rave scene. It's the quality of coverage that ought to be in question. Where did I downplay media coverage? I said that mass media often carries with it alot of bias. I do want to thoroughly answer you. Clarify that which is not clarified. So le tme know. and what does this mean: Too often, the money is going into the hands of crooked characters. [/QUOTE} I don't remember the exact context of the above quote. So I'll do my best to explain what I meant. Actually, I'll get back to you on this one after I take a look at what I had wrote. |

| Coolness: 56325 | Yeah, I dig you. That's why I figure that anyone who resists my ideas to focus on the dancing are DJ's.
Kill all dj's... let the dancers have the room. Just kidding , of course or did you think I was that stupid or naive. Peace. Originally posted by FLEKSTAH...

in T.O raves theres often a crew of really good liquid dancers performing. its impressive, but it often splits the crowd into "performers" and "spectators", who just stand around and watch the few ppl who are dancing. it kills the spirit. ideally, in a rave, everyone should be a participant and do their own dance thang, and not have to worry about whether others perceive them as being good dancers or not. you don't think that the relationship between Dj and dancer has the same effect of producing performer/spectator? Not to the same extent, cuz the dancer is being involved in moving to the music and is not just observing. No one goes to a rave just to stand and watch the DJ. |

 Coolness: 51095 | in each one of the following quoted sentences or phrases you simultaneously downplay media coverage and at the same time you "up-play" it:
"It's goal would not need to be to inform outsiders. It would be just give a certain edge to the scene. I mean dancing and playing music for a "good cause". It's focus would be more on the dancing. " "I was looking up dance/dancing and rave, trance, techno on the web and there was hardly any media on rave/techno/house/trance dancing. I think the dance scene vis a vis rave music is incredible and I think there ought to be more focus on it. " "Well, I'm not even the one who brought the coverage thing first of all. Second of all, coverage could be a good thing" "But the minute you have a party wether the media is invited or it's just the local hoodlums, one can get coverage. Coverage can be a good thing. Mass media coverage I think i am alsways sceptical about. Since they tend to add their biases. " this is called vacillation and it is typically not the hallmark of a sound argument. you also seem to have this passive-aggressive attitude going on at times, which can be seen here: "Yeah, I dig you. That's why I figure that anyone who resists my ideas to focus on the dancing are DJ's. Kill all dj's... let the dancers have the room. Just kidding , of course or did you think I was that stupid or naive. Peace." and here: There's nothing like praise to brighten my day. I much prefer the sun, however. Keep shining.. maybe one day you'll burn out. Peace, love and happiness.... I'm just playing with you like a clitoris. " i suggest that if you can't carry on your end of an argument without throwing insults around at people who do not agree with you, then maybe you shouldnt make threads wherein you ask people what they think of your idea(s). and if i can ask you to humour me for a minute here, i'd like to know how you would have all this trance music played at your dance-a-thon if all dj's were to be killed? would you cue up some tracks on fucking winamp? |

 Coolness: 159245 | Cinderella Soul :
1. I'm convinced a dance-a-thon would not generate enough revenues as a fundraiser. If that's the purpose. 2. If revenue is not the idea, I don't see the need to coin it a "dance-a-thon", honestly. It's just a regular rave/party. Nothing groundbreaking I'm afraid. You may just be labeling it wrong, I dunno. 3. Yes I care about the scene and its people. No, make that CARED cause it has gone to waste after I've witnessed it bloom, live and wither into a very slow self-destructive death, the equivalent of having 5 high partygoers stepping and kicking on it if I follow the flower meta(mphetamine)phor. So yes, I suppose I am sensitive about making it worse and not just exploiting the name as a publicity stunt ( not saying it's your goal either ). 4. I agree that trance and/or well dancing in general does give you a different perspective on a lot of things but allow me to say this is a very personal experience, one you can even have at home in your livingroom. That you want to share this feeling with a lot of people, I wholeheartingly agree. But does it justify actively throwing a party ? A lot of people most certainly did for decades now, especially back in a time that did not understand the need for such gatherings. Others did and failed miserably at that despite having the purest of intentions. What do you do when you built a party from the ground up and barely anyone shows up ? Yes, I've seen it happen way too often. And no, publicity, PRing or anything else was not to blame. Now that raves have gotten popular and are widespread, venues have been built based on this very humble principle of yours and many many outlets exists for just that very purpose. And trust me, party-throwing is not even remotely fun. That you would like to throw a small loft party, I'd say god speed. But anything bigger than that would be an endeavor. Well again, my own 2¢. |
