Soul Stream Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I dig the "Catching Up With" thread on the AAJ Forums. They have a good discussion with Greg Osby right now and have had some other good ones. I wondered if we could try and do the same thing here. Personally, I'd like to get a discussion going with some of the older cats still around. Maybe it's a generational thing since those guys may not be as computer savvy. But certainly, some are. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Never participated at AAJ, although I found it a great idea. How about one of the musicians on the board stepping in for starters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 yes...but instead of "Catching Up With...", can we call it "Gettin' Down With"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Gettin' Down with Mike Weil!!! I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Actually I'm opposed to it - I like the fact that great players are just "regular folks" here and aren't obligated to do the whole promotional thing like at other sites. Turn on the spotlight, shove the microphone in someone's face and you might lose something even more precious. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 AFAIK the "artists" responding on AAJ are paying customers of the site. I recently received a rude reminder that I could not "dis" people who paid for ads on AAJ. I was told I'd be banned if I did it again.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well, if that's the case, they just moved down another notch in my book, though not at all unexpectedly - that's the feel I have about that whole production. Isn't this just shilling? Or is it a new twist on payola? I guess you would need to *purchase* some "free speech" on that board, Chuck. What would happen then?

Chuck Nessa Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Here is a copy/paste of the PM I received from M Ricci: Chuck, I caught your comment under my Lorraine Feather announcement and I can’t say I was happy about it. First off, if you visited the website, you’d see Lorraine was a paid advertiser. I posted that announcement on her behalf. Your primary board is Organissimo—you’re a guest on the AAJ board and I expect you to conduct yourself as a guest. Taking a future shot at an AAJ advertiser or at me on my board will result in an immediate suspension of posting privileges. Michael __________________ Klaatu Barada Nikto!

Soul Stream Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Wow is right. I also didn't know we had "primary boards".... and...You mean Jim doesn't make ya'll pay to be on this site! I knew I was getting screwed. Well....just a thought. I thought it might be cool to get some of the older cats that maybe don't get a lot of press or chance to talk about their projects, ect. a place to come and hang a little bit, ect....

Brad Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 What an asshole. Even before I saw Chuck's post, my thought is why copy them. After that, fuck them, the idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
