The ‘Google’ of music

 

More than a reference, think Google with a splash of Ebay.

Discogs.com may be on the tip of everyone’s tongue, but few refer to the site as often as Google or Wiki. At first Discogs may seem limited, but it can be quite handy when looking for information about your favorite musicians.

The DEMF 2007 lineup highs and lows

Paxahau is in their second year of throwing DEMF (the Detroit Electronic Music Festival) — three four days of non-stop music partying beneath the hot, humid Michigan sun. Ahh … has it already been a year?

The partial lineup has been posted, and everyone is excited about hot acts like Claude VonStroke, DJ Godfather, Luciano, Mathew Jonson and expected players like Matthew Dear, Richie Hawtin, Ryan Elliott, John Acquaviva and Stacey Pullen.

Detroiter Seth Troxler is a recent add to the list. He’s another Detroit DJ we’ll be losing to Berlin this Summer, and his name is exploding all over our fair motor city.

As for the lackluster acts. Well, Loco Dice, The Wizard Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunderson and Ryan Crosson have all had disappointing performances in Detroit recently — let’s see how they turn it out for the festival.

Sites that make it eaaasy to watch streaming tv episodographies

Some sites make it easy to watch every-episode-in-a-row of some great shows.

 

Remember the old Saturday morning Xmen cartoon?

Some, like alluc.org even provide links to streaming versions (so much more instantly-gratifying than downloading) of Hollywood movies.

Did you see Saw II?

With this seeming free-content-consumption utopia going on, it’s only a matter of time before the censors start censoring.

Don’t they know that information wants to be free?

tv links is another good one. Where else do you find streaming fun?

Why is nobody talking about this?

Fedde’s grand ‘Hands up for Detroit’ loopsnatch

Above: Texas/Ann Arbor/Detroit’s Matthew Dear

It seems like most people forgot that Matthew Dear produced the original version of “Hands up for Detroit” (1999). This was Dear’s first release, and distributed by Ghostly Records.

Fedde Le Grand’s “Put your hands up for Detroit” (2006) has been circulating in clubs for a while now and has officially overstayed its welcome in bars all over the motor city.

Just getting started

Hello dear readers!

This blog will seek to raise awareness about issues that deserve attention…yet seemingly no one talks about.

So while we will solve little, the questions we raise are important (at least we think so).

This blog is mostly authored by two young DJs out of Detroit, Michigan, USA. We hope it will become an interactive forum. So please — leave us your comments and send us your story ideas.

Thanks!
