I just provided an outlet for ppl to express their opinions on *****, which we are seeing, that there's still continued interest for. Some of you are just shiftng the blame on me now for a situation created by TA now. Maybe my show became too much of a good mirror and there's some that can't take it. I think some of the disses ppl do just degrade the overall quality of the board. |
I understand that you're just trying to run a show, like so many other people in similar positions, but honestly, this is a complete crock.
I can't speak for everyone here, but the only reason - and yes, I do mean the only reason - that I had any interest in the show to begin with was the prospect of actually being able to speak directly to this gibbering idiot, mono a mono, live on air, and debunk the bull he spews about sampling and trademark laws and whatever else.
And he decided to phone it in - literally - because he knew that, and didn't want to get forced into a two-way debate, where he wouldn't be able to just read from his script and ignore criticism.
Maybe you didn't see it this way. Fine, but I am telling you now that few if any people here were actually interested in what ***** has to say about the Canadian music scene. We've heard it all already, again and again and again to the point where our eyes and our ears start to bleed from the torture. What people wanted was a debate, or at least a conversation, not a series of prepared statements read to a passive interviewer listening with rapt attention.
Maybe he caught you off guard. Fine, but allowing him to just run off at the mouth for two nearly-uninterrupted hours did not make you look much better than he did, and pimping this trainwreck of an interview after the fact raises suspicions (however unfounded) that, if you weren't actually in on his game, you were at least excited about the [largely negative] attention you were getting and thus a willing participant.
The fact that you refuse to acknowledge any of this, making hand-wavy excuses and attempting to deflect criticism back to the "trolls" on TA who are "perpetuating" the issue (were we perpetuating it when ***** made no fewer than 15 alts in a single day?) again makes you look complicit in his little scheme. You give him a voice, he gives you controversy, everybody wins.
And perhaps some TOTAs are also tacitly playing his game by engaging him, but the fact remains that he has been banned from this forum, and aside from these couple of threads about your show and the times when he registers an alt to resume thread-crapping, his "brand" presence here is not much more than a few offhand comments, much the same sorts of casual cynicism that one would expect to read about American obesity or the SARS hysteria from 5 years ago. In other words, people are hardly obsessed with the issue, it just makes for a good occasional chuckle.
The mild interest in *****'s Q-Trip interview was likely not much more than a combination of curiosity (at whether or not he converses as poorly as he writes) and low-grade schadenfreude from the same types of people who slow down and rubberneck at a bad car accident (i.e. most humans) hoping for a glimpse of a good trainwreck. I won't fault you for thinking that a "Part 2" is a brilliant idea, but you ought to know that neither of the aforementioned two factors are likely to be repeated: People have already satisfied their curiosity, and without a live ***** in the studio to talk to, the potential for dramatic impact is virtually nil.
I, for one, have very little interest in hearing yet another panoply of piffle from this pusillanimous plagiarist. Like so many others here, I am simply sick of seeing threads about him, and to suggest that this is somehow any of our faults when we didn't create the thread is disingenuous at best. I'm certain that if there were an option to post a reply without bumping the thread to the top, most people would gladly have chosen that option in this case. Unfortunately it's not an option, so here we are.
Now can we put an end to this? You've already posted three threads about the interview - the "should I interview him" thread, the interview itself, and the recordings from the interview - so I think that's quite enough, everybody can stop pimping it now. |

nobbie, i think the problem is that nick was given way too much credit by being initially interviewed as a "canadian artist"... and then when he got on the air and repeatedly discredited HIMSELF with his retarded statements he had no restraint from you at all. there's no evidence he's ever done anything other than throw random loops together, and i seriously doubt he could identify a square wav synth or an amen break let alone any textbook musical concept anybody should know after X years of producing experience. but his music aside, i thought after he answered the 5th question with a broad, bull answer that appeals to the authority of his "higha" level, that you'd put him in his place with some simple common sense statements that challenge his logic, but it just kept going on and on. at some times it would have been too easy... like when he said something like "the problem is no one respects DJs in toronto"... you could have asked him which cities do respect djs, what his evidence is for this. but instead you just continued to entertain his delusions.
just my constructive criticism. you seem like a good guy and i respect your show... but nobody wants a softball larry king style interview with an artist unless they make decent music and have an iq of at least, let's say 100.

Alright. Well ***** or no *****, Polk-a-roo or no Polk-a-roo, people can listen in tonight optionally where I have some new stuff by Carlo Lio and Kotov+Wilde and more. Thanks for everyone's comments but my show is still first and foremost a mix show and not Hard Copy and in the future I'm going to try to have these Canadian guys come in which would be more relevent anyway.
If anyone still wants to hate or love they can call in and be famous for 5 seconds at 905-828-3447 and I'll answer queries to life's answers for a bit. |
