Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 5:37 pmI don't really care about the DJ/Producer's origin, as long as he doesn't care about mine...
And till now, i never had any problem or encountered a xenophob/racist DJ (although A&B's interview that was posted by BAT before they came to Lebanon was kind of on the thin line between racism and realism)... But hey, i still like those guys A LOT coz i interpreted their interview as realism, not racism...
However, i do have problems when it comes to political messages IN the music... that's not really a problem in EDM, but in Rock (specially french) it gets on my nerves sometimes: for exemple, as much as i love Noir Desir's music, some of their songs are a bit too much to the left in my opinion. Che Guevara socialist style... I just don't like listening much to these songs coz i don't agree with a single word they say!! Whenever they're on, i just don't pay attention to the meaning of the lyrics, i just enjoy the melody! But this never stopped me from buying every single Noir Desir album out there and going to their concert in Lebanon!!

well , in my opinion , this is all easier said than actually done ! I know music should be communicated on a higher level , and i always try to do so . But , and i am being very honest here , i do think about these things from time to time , and there is always a small space , in the back of my head , reserved for this issue ....
