      XPost: rec.music.dementia       From: nobody@mixmaster.it              >According to jbmor...@steel.ucs.indiana.edu (Jeff Morris)(I do intend       >to go back and do that though, but it may take the rest of my life.)              First does the University of Indiana know that your ineptness       throws a monkey wrench in scholarship. Remember "the playlist's accuracy       is a reflection on Indiana University, Bloomington," keep this in mind       sholars.       Or place disclaimers at the bottom of all your LISTS!              Second I'm not a ardent fan of the Dr. Demento show however for a man       [Barrett Hansen] whose done a thesis on "The evolution of R&B" goes to       show that he does'nt care about bona fide scholarship, theoretically.       Yeah, you'll come to his Hansen's defense but you know what.........              It is an outrage having talked to a couple of collectors of punk they       expressed that "YOUR ERRORS ET AL" stifles the collecting community.       Yet I'll be fair the Demento discography site isn't the only one.       Let me tell you a brief story as a result of the spelling error one       Japanese girl took 15+ years to find that "Tamemics" record after being       told by a fellow collector it was the wrong group spelling.       Nevertheless, you mention "the station sent out errors on the cue sheets"       this is like American Top 40 playing "a song with a wrong title."       No wonder consultants want to rid the lanscape of radio of specialty       shows "listeners can't find the record nor the hosts checks the cue       sheets accuracy."              >So, if you find an error in the future, an attitude of helpfulness rather       >than outrage would be recommended.              So be it but you know -- $*$$ %* ?$$.              Maxine's going bye, bye. Here's a disclaimer of my own baby.              Disclaimer: All lists compiled by Jeff Morris for the syndicated radio       show Dr. Demento, hosted by Indiana University, Bloomington should be       scrutinzed carefully before citing it as source.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
