Re: The State of Boss Looping

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

Gotta go with your assessment on this one Paul, My dear friend Mando  
Man, the japanese mandolin player was runner up to that singer  
songwriter, and anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing Mandoman's  
unique brand of looping can attest to the fact that his thing is way  
more evolved and sonically adventurous than what she was doing.  And  
then there is Randolph Arriola the brilliant guitarist  from  
Singapore, who has great range of tone and composition as well and a  
true professional.  Thats two people who come to mind that I know of  
who entered that contest. Listening briefly to the others it seems  
that Boss played it safe like the Super Bowl geniuses and the Grammies  
do and appealed to youth culture. Rappers and "Songwriters" ,  
etc...etc...etc..what a suprise. .Why does mainstream seem more like  
downstream these days? discuss...
