ok, i really should heed wittgenstein's dictum and shutup about this, but i
can't resist. reading the insert from "live at the paradise garage"
redoubles my wariness of the whole garage label:
"Garage" is one of the most mangled terms in dance music. The term derives
from the Paradise Garage itself, but it has meant so many different things
to so many different people that unless you're talking about a specific time
and place, it is virtually meaningless. Part of the reason for this
confusion (aside from various journalistic misunderstandings and industry
misappropriations) is that the range of music played at the Garage was so
broad. The music we now call "garage" has evolved from only a small part of
the club's wildly eclectic soundtrack."
- Frank Broughton/Bill
Brewster
Larry Levan:"Garage"::Giles Peterson:"Acid Jazz"???
just too many lame dj's and producers out there draw music out of
standardized templates. big up that wild eclecticism.

ps i have no problem with 2-step but that's a rhythm, not a "scene"
