So Maytha is definitely right about the DJ.<BR/><BR/>Now that that's settled, there is still this issue of techno music.<BR/><BR/>Reknowned Arabic-named poet Nasir Jones has weighed in with "I'll flow off techno beats and wreck the streets".<BR/><BR/>But what he is trying to express is the lyrical feat it would take to actually make legitimate music out of techno.<BR/><BR/>For those less skilled than Nasir, including myself and the DJ previously mentioned, it is probably a good ground rule to lay off the techno to the degree possible.Rasheedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284326019902640585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-49643432989567180802007-04-12T11:02:00.000-07:002007-04-12T11:02:00.000-07:002007-04-12T11:02:00.000-07:00I think what Joe discovered, is the typical, childish poo-flinging behavior that is considered discourse at kabombfest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-8451825924129818422007-04-11T12:54:00.000-07:002007-04-11T12:54:00.000-07:002007-04-11T12:54:00.000-07:00i am so confusedFadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12244690620062327071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-7958266903330608752007-04-11T12:45:00.000-07:002007-04-11T12:45:00.000-07:002007-04-11T12:45:00.000-07:00ok, so can you delete item number 2 from the post please?<BR/>thanks youjoe namynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-61166206369269710352007-04-10T21:30:00.000-07:002007-04-10T21:30:00.000-07:002007-04-10T21:30:00.000-07:00I agree with you on two points: <BR/><BR/>1. I did unfairly make assumptions as to the DJ's ethnicity. I'm sorry for that. My comment was unacceptable, as was his. In the least constructive way, I responded to what I felt was culturally and racially insensitive with something just as culturally and racially insensitive. Once again, I am sorry for my response. <BR/><BR/>2. And is nothing to detract from the party-it did rock-I loved the people, food, the artwork and, in my humble opinion, most especially loved the drumming. But let's be honest-a majority of people only started to dance when you guys were on the drums!Maythahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00807786255484384743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-26366517357942362902007-04-10T20:32:00.000-07:002007-04-10T20:32:00.000-07:002007-04-10T20:32:00.000-07:00Hi, long time reader first time commenter! this is joe from OTHER, the arts collective that threw the party you totally dissed in your comment #2 and yes i'm gonna have to agree with my sister above. <BR/><BR/>I was really offended by k the angry drunk, and the fact that your "posse" just dipped without even apologizing for his actions. we opened up our studio for ya'll, didn't ask for anything in return, just to have a positive good time and you completely disrespected us. Just cuz your drunk ass friend felt his balls aren't big enough so he has to compensate by banging on his chest, don't come to Detroit with that attitude, and especially don't come to our party with that attitude. Its all love in the D, but no love for that type of bull-shi$. And the fact that you just assumed him to be white, i don't even want to get into (we're an ARAB arts organization, why would you think we would have a white DJ????). I never would have expected this type of ignorance coming from an otherwise smart and intelligent space.<BR/>I and many other people thought the party rocked, especially the music and drums :)joe namynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-36119618737816171802007-04-10T19:25:00.000-07:002007-04-10T19:25:00.000-07:002007-04-10T19:25:00.000-07:00oops, sorry! hadn't meant to leave it anonymous, my name is nicole namyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-40154357670247992322007-04-10T19:23:00.000-07:002007-04-10T19:23:00.000-07:002007-04-10T19:23:00.000-07:00Oh wow. As an attendee of the conference, I logged on to check out and support the Kabobfest initiative only to be completely offended at your #2 comment. Perhaps it would be helpful to you if I clarify a couple of your points: <BR/>The “DJah” is a talented musician and artist named George from Lebanon. The “undance-able” music he was playing is called T-E-C-H-N-O fused with house, funk, and old-school rap. We in Detroit appreciate the music and are world-renowned contributors to that movement. <BR/><BR/>So, yes. If you can’t appreciate or support the artist or the music then I agree with George, “Go back to Dearborn”.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-18520830413099165262007-04-10T07:39:00.000-07:002007-04-10T07:39:00.000-07:002007-04-10T07:39:00.000-07:00Well done May,<BR/><BR/>I'm going back next year to tell that lady off.
