If we're going to do this Iron Chef style, I simply *have* to be
the flamboyant host Kaga, of course. With the Great Kat as the
house champion and the other one as the desperately out of her
league challenger...

My vote is, of course, already cast for the Bloody Vivaldi, for
these reasons:
1) She's from Swindon, England -- home of XTC and Meat Beat
Manifesto. Must be something in the water.
2) Clearly she has both immmense self-confidence and a sense of
humor about herself -- something not yet evident with the other.
3) Whereas Kat Marco is content to Photoshop in wannabe 'spooky'
eye effects, the Great Kat willingly douses herself with red
liquids and other things for the full cheesy effect.
4) Two words: EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!
5) She hasn't felt the need to talk about any connections to
the likes of Collective Soul to justify her work.
6) Kat Marco claims she is the goddess of rock, but as the
brief soundclip on her site clearly states, the Great Kat is
simply "God!" She doesn't need any modifying phrases to make
her point.
7) Kat Marco's graphics are of supposedly moody and spooky
panthers and roses. The Great Kat uses an image of the death mask
of Beethoven. *Much* cooler in context.
8) Finally, she doesn't need to post horrible ads and promo
pieces and bring in 'supporters' who probably are aliases in
disguise for the most part in order to get further attention to
herself -- she doesn't even need to post anything at all! She
is the Great Kat, the sublime and eternal.

Is that really the best you could do? I mean, i had
such high hopes for you holding your own, going toe
to toe, trading barbs with Mr. Ned and maybe even
holding your own for awhile (if nothing else, then
in sheer amusement factor alone). And then you have
to go and do this, blowing any chance you had of
becoming a respected adversary. Now you're merely
part of the chattering rabble.
It is indeed a sad, sad day. Hang your heads down.
De-rat your hair and wear suitably somber shades
of lipstick and mascara. Put your best contacts in
and pull out the blackest of spandex. For today
we mourn the passing of one who has brought us
so very much and asked so little of us in return.

your time bothering with someone who obviously will never care for

Yeah, what's wrong with being a nerd anyways? I'm a self-professed music and

Tom mainly writes his own independent stuff, as far as I know; where
exactly do you see a vested interest in things (like dj-ing and writing)
that are done out of love rather than profit?
>You reviewers are just like DJ's, in

Er, no actually; speaking only for myself (and my own cack handed
efforts at writing and dj-ing), I only ever did anything like
writing,etc. because I loved the music and wanted to let people know
about stuff they might not otherwise hear about. You seem to view anyone
even remotely related to the music industry as being money-grubbing
egomaniacs. I think this says a lot more about your motivations than
anyone elses...

IIRC, you seem to instigate most of the attacking; you cannot take
criticism without launching into personal attacks and enlisting your

it's been pretty hilarious so far, but still...

Yeah but... why would mp3's affect the need for radio? I mean, really...
people mostly listen to the radio in their car or at work or whatever... it's
not like they're likely to fire up their computer and construct an mp3
playlist for their background music. People will always listen to the radio.

You write for Melody Maker, Tom-boy? Come clean now. I write reviews
sometimes myself, but I don't get paid for it. So I guess it's not really a
business venture as much as hobby. I know this all probably sounds
incredibly alien to a young, business minded, go-getter like yourself...but
oh well.

Besides, you write press releases for the Internet, so
you are concidered to be a part of the music industry that
stands to be effected by the new music business.
Ha.
Hey, Kat, i write reviews for a local zine that doesn't

i'd feel just _worthless_. I'd have to go shoot myself
or something.
> You reviewers are just like DJ's, in

I am the DJ. I am what i play. Frankly, DJs are part
of the music (and so are reviewers). Ignore them if
you like, but it won't change a thing. I know it doesn't
work for me. But then i dropped my radio down the toilet
after Van Halen III came out.

> I am luring you out of the dark and into the light.
Oh, not the light! Oh no! Anything but that! I mean
it'll shrivel my pale goth-nerd-like skin! I'll wither
away like one of those vampires in a cheap horror movie
where they don't even have the budget for the old
baking soda and vinegar foam, rather they just sorta
cut away from the vampire and you see a little cheap
smoke and hear some gurgling. That's what'd happen

> This war is and has been between one person,
War? Oh, dear. This is serious. Hmmm, persecution,
delusions of grandeur, paranoia, nonsensical mutterings.
Professional help. Yes, that's what we need here.
A little professional help. Are there any Jungians
in the audience? I'm afraid that Freudians would
just be a bit too direct about this. A little subtlety
is called for. If someone would only step forward and

Oooh....dominance.... Should i get my leathers? I'll have
to see if that gift certificate from The Gauntlet is still
good. And to quote Bruce Sterling, the music industry is
about as much threat as an 800-pound gorilla on fire. Face
it. We can't be stopped. Those who control the internet
control the universe! Those who post to newsgroups will
hold the keys to the unravelling of the universal space-

1) The reviews I write are different how from the reviews you quote on
your webpage?
2) I've almost never been 'published': I write unpaid reviews as a
hobby - I find it more rewarding than putting ships in bottles. If
that makes me part of the music industry so be it, but your suggestion
strikes me as a bit of a reach.

Let me see if I've figured this out. Ned is a DJ who uses his show to
disseminate (unpaid AFAIK) what he thinks is new and interesting
music. You are an artist making what you think is new and interesting
music. You advertise in our newsgroup. Ned hears the music, thinks it
is dreadful and tells you so. That's his prerogative, just as it's
your prerogative to make and distribute the music.
Your allegations that DJs must hate MP3s are absurd: in that case, why
don't DJs wage a secret war against CD manufacture, since pre-recorded
CDs take a lot more listeners away from radio than MP3s do? The two
things are simply not in competition.

Either Key or JackieBlue said something elsewhere about how I

cluelessness. And you know, were they ever right.
And I have no need to call anyone into subjection -- like moths

Actually I think that all the a.m.a. regulars except one or two
obvious exceptions know what they're talking about. In some cases they
know a bit too much. ;)

Let's see...I have a cousin who played in Cyndi Lauper's first band, and
a aunt who was an interior designer for Peter Frampton. Does this excite
anybody? Should I check if they have internet access?

Im getting confused, is she a spider or a Kat? And is she spinning
a web for food, or just free advertising?

Oh fine, we couldn't fool the almighty KAT! The cat's (pun intended) out of the
bag....yes indeed.....we are all Ned. Tom, Nicole, Michael, me, etc.
C'mon, Ned, it's time to tell our ole' friend Kat the truth. We are part of
a multi-functioning mainframe that exists as different posters on the same
frequency. It's been tough cloaking our experiment, but it's obvious that no
one can outsmart the 'Great' Kat Marco!

The amusing thing about that piece (which says something about the RG
to R) was that 24 hours before submitting the copy I'd never knowingly
heard a single note of Cluster. The friend of mine who'd been
contracted to write it (who wrote the IMO very good Eno and Cale
sections) just didnt have time so gave me a call in the evening. I
called my workmate who I knew liked Cluster, and got him to bring his
CDs to work the next day, then the next morning secured a half day,
went home and listened to them all while writing the piece. Which was
submitted, not paid for, and stuffed full of quotes which looked like
I'd ripped the whole thing off from Cope's 'Krautrocksampler'. The
embarassing thing being that obviously I had and had made futile
efforts to disguise it.
Cheers,
Tom.

There is no Ned. There is only LANDRU. Bow to the will

You are not having fun. LANDRU is having fun with you.
There is so much that you don't know. So much that LANDRU
can teach you. But you must shed your notions of individuality
and of personality. Only then will you become one with
LANDRU. Then you will know peace.

Once again the potential for verbal quip is ruined by
your refusal to write with anything resembling clarity.
Advantage: LANDRU.

Unfortunately, you've just given her what she most wants.
But since that's immortality in a relatively small and
impermanent part of USEnet, well then it's so trivial
that i suppose we can give it to her.

Indeed. Recent live versions of "Susie Q" played by Fogerty
still attest to that very fact.

Quoting Dave Marsh? Well, *there's* your problem.
And again, you seem to suffer a misunderstanding as to what I do
with my DJ work -- namely, a 2 hour slot per week, on a volunteer
basis, done basically to satisfy my own interests and to possibly
introduce listeners to music not heard otherwise. KUCI being an
all-volunteer station in any event with absolutely no ties to commercial
radio or commercial media outlets, we are therefore hardly scared or
worried over any imminent changes there. By providing
a further option for that music, MP3 is a fine thing indeed.
I have no problem with that medium at all, and am hardly running
scared over whatever it is you're doing -- namely, producing crap
music I wouldn't play or refer people to no matter what the medium.

Absolutely. I think Kat can feel proud to be ranked alongside such

Why are you telling us something that's been known for at least a year now? Or

They're not primates, that much has been established.
Didn't you ever read comic books as a kid and see
those ads for Sea Monkeys in the back? They're like
little pets. Only they're really brine shrimp,
not those cute little humanoids that you see in
the advertisements. Too bad, 'cause i liked the
