As for Horton, he's worked a full time job to fund the festival and it that's not dedication, I don't know what is. I believe in the festival and I believe that it has shed much light on a city that until recently has lived solely under the shadow of rock. Long live diversity and long live the idea of taking a chance in what you believe in. Horton represents both in my book.

@2: dude, have you *seen* the world-class caliber of artists Decibel has brought to town every fall for the past 5 years?! Autechre, Justice, Richie Hawtin, Trentemoller, Diplo, Boys Noize, Green Velvet, Switch, Monolake, Derrick May, Modeselektor, Gui Boratto, Matmos, Simian Mobile Disco, Robin Guthrie, Ellen Allien, Fennesz, Scott Pagano, Harold Budd, Murcof, Apparat, The Field, Isolee, Meat Beat Manifesto, Biosphere, Cobblestone Jazz, John Tejada, Speedy J, Michael Mayer, Chris DeLuca vs. Phon.o, Bruno Pronsato, Stars of the Lid, Matthew Dear, Nortec Collective, Akufen, 3 Channels, Tim Hecker, Claude VonStroke, Funkstörung, Bender, Italoboyz, Subtle, Machine Drum, Sascha Funke, Styrofoam, Lusine, Jeff Samuel, The Dead Texan, Smash TV, Marcus Nikolai, Dabrye, Vladislav Delay, Tipper, Jacob London, T.Raumschmiere, Frivolous, Loscil, Robert Babicz, Christopher Willits, Strategy, Mochipet, Kangding Ray and Deadbeat (from the DB website). What other suggestions do you have?!

Seattle is on the map in the electronic music world in large part because of Sean's insatiable work ethic, vision, and because *no one* else has stepped up to create this kind of festival in our area before him. I sincerely hope he gets the funding he needs (I do believe Decibel recently filed for non-profit status, if I'm not mistaken, which will allow him to receive additional funds from entities such as 4Culture, etc.).

Posted by djonan]]> Wed, 06 May 2009 17:12:00 -0700 The Stranger Once every few months on Line Out I am asked to donate to someone who's bad financial planning has landed them in the shitter.
I love Decibel, and I attended more than a few of their events, and I would happily pay ticket prices to see more, but I wont bail-out amateurish financial planning.
