Is Beatport just a joke?
I followed a link to beatport to buy a track, and while I was there, I thought I have a glance at the techno top 10...
I mean... wtf?
That's techno?

No, it is just a tool to purchase music and find new music. I will always go direct to the label/ Bandcamp if I can.
I don't understand why people get so full of woe about Beatport, the people buying the music generate the charts. It certainly isn't representative of sites like Subsekt. Just let the people that enjoy that type of techno get on with it.

I didn't realize being full of woe about Beatport was thing. If it is, I can absolutely see why.
Techno my arse.

Also very true. Did not think of that either.StacieAnne wrote:*any rape.
Re: Is Beatport just a joke?
I mostly just use it to search for music I'm already aware of/looking for, not a particularly high hit rate here but always worth a look. The thought of actually using it as a means of music discovery stresses me out a bit...

Beatport is not a joke, the charts are, and how they categorise stuff as well.
It also shits on the artist from a height, because their percentage pay is abysmal.
Labels only use it because it is the most popular vendor and they lack the courage to take a stand and say no to their practices.
Fuck em really.
Fuck em.

No just baby rape.
All other rape is fair game for laughs.
I watched ace Ventura 2 the other day.
A silverback gorilla rapes a man at the end. It was a happy ending, I could laugh with no guilt.
These are the rules.

I too laughed at the gorilla rape scene in that. It was quite a bit funnier than the scene in 'Last Tango in Paris'

Gorilla rape is more common than you think.
Someone should start a charity to help the victims.

I've heard of such a movement to be honest. They call them selves the grr-ape society, grapes for short.
Re: Is Beatport just a joke?
I have used the site to grab a few things that were Beatport exclusives, but the categories and their contents don't make any sense and the web player makes me feel like I'm listening to the tracks through a busted arse old guitar pedal compressor with the settings all jammed on full. I avoid it whenever possible.

rape is excusable like when a rapist goes to prison he is raped so yeah i don't see any problem in that.

I love that video. Got to be careful who you show it to though as reactions can vary wildly.
