The comments section is like a who's-who of the game. Will, Frank, Chris and Samy all get theirs and I haven't even finished.
I'll have a new auction up tonight, after which I'm sure I'll have the time to interject. :smirk:

b/w
there is no way im going to read the comment section....
I'd read it if I were you. Guy gets his ass handed to him about a half-dozen times.
Yeah, the comment section is way more worthwhile than the article itself.

Reynaldo should send a cease and desist for his map
It was Rey that did the map right? Why must that blogger steal American culture like that?
I was surprised the strut wasn't really brought up. Or the whole debate of certain strutters comp/licensing fall out.
The only interesting thing to me really was seeing people respond to their names being mentioned. Interesting to read their thoughts on the subject and their experiences in the search of music.

Believe it or not, "the strut" is not on most people's radars

Yeah, stupid, poorly-argued article, followed by a few decent comments (I have a lot of free time to read at my job
. One argument I didn't see made in the whole messy/silly "cultural heritage" debate is whether a neglected piece of one country's culture that's studied/saved from near-total obscurity/preserved from physical decay/finally given wide distrubution, etc. by another country's culture doesn't in a way "belong" as much to the latter as to the former. Lots of examples come to mind: Northern Soul in 60's/70's UK, American cinema in 50's France, Atget by 20's/30's Americans, etc. Obviously, Afrobeat/Afrofunk "belong" to the culture that birthed them, but given the neglect of this part of their culture in W. Africa today I would say it's as much, if not more, "ours" (i.e. diggers') at this point.

musica said:Great discussion.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty illuminating too, especially when, one by one, just about every big hitter in the African archival/reissue game all stepped up to the plate to say their bit. Really, all it needed was for Nick Gold or Martin Meissonier to chip in, and you'd have had the complete set.

exactly, this usurpation must not go unchecked. this aggression will not stand.
also, what ended up happening with the epic Kon and Amir vs. Frank battle of '09? did they work it out? or did they work it out in the courts?

Naw, I get that. I just mean that with this subject coming up on the strut quite a few times in the past (being discussed) and the map coming from here...
And with that whole "strutters comp/licensing fall out" deal.... I know plenty of other boards linked to it, which in turn bought out some talk about this subject on those boards.
