The following is a transcript from an on-line discussion with the first known user to browse the new www.tonedef1.com site. It's interesting to see the reactions sparked by this phenomenon. We'll see how it goes in the coming days.

noisecontrol1 (10:40:16 AM): Hello and good morning
andysheart1966 (10:40:32 AM): hello and good morning

noisecontrol1 (10:41:41 AM): Do you ever write about it?
andysheart1966 (10:41:52 AM): no I just write poems
noisecontrol1 (10:42:13 AM): Would you like to experiment with writing about music?
noisecontrol1 (10:42:45 AM): You could restrict it to poetic form
andysheart1966 (10:42:45 AM): no I am fine with just listening to it.
noisecontrol1 (10:43:04 AM): Would you like to skim a blog about music?
noisecontrol1 (10:43:16 AM): www.tonedef1.com
noisecontrol1 (10:43:32 AM): I just got it put together today

andysheart1966 (10:44:51 AM): okay
noisecontrol1 (10:44:57 AM): Cool
noisecontrol1 (10:45:02 AM): See you soon
andysheart1966 (10:45:23 AM): btw nice rhymes
noisecontrol1 (10:45:31 AM): Thanks
noisecontrol1 (10:45:38 AM): Glad to see someone saw them
andysheart1966 (10:46:50 AM): yw have rhymed on stage before?
noisecontrol1 (10:47:12 AM): Not necessarily. Kind of shouted and made noise.
noisecontrol1 (10:47:17 AM): I did some techno Mc
noisecontrol1 (10:47:23 AM): stuff 10 years ago
andysheart1966 (10:47:27 AM): aha
andysheart1966 (10:50:38 AM): so like Jam Master Jay you are more of the DJ than MC
noisecontrol1 (10:50:55 AM): Well, I actually compose music
noisecontrol1 (10:51:09 AM): I have synthesisers sequencers and samplers
noisecontrol1 (10:51:22 AM): I don't have turntables
andysheart1966 (10:51:31 AM): he composed some of RUN DMC's rhymes too and produced
noisecontrol1 (10:51:39 AM): I also have a pretty powerful PC hooked up to them
andysheart1966 (10:51:47 AM): cool
noisecontrol1 (10:52:10 AM): Jam Master Jay was one of my favorite producers to read about in Keyboard Magazine
andysheart1966 (10:52:41 AM): he was truly great
noisecontrol1 (10:52:45 AM): I wrote a poem about him right after he died. That was a tragic end.
noisecontrol1 (10:53:05 AM): I miss mary mary and king of rock
noisecontrol1 (10:54:07 AM): Do you mind if i publish our conversation about music as an interview on the website?
noisecontrol1 (10:54:20 AM): Who else do you like?
andysheart1966 (10:55:00 AM): it is a shame him, left eye and aaliyah had died within months apart from eachother
noisecontrol1 (10:56:14 AM): I know. The music industry definitely has its unsung heroes. I was a fan of aaliyah. It's good that we still have living artists like Alicia Keys and Mos Def and Missy to keep us inspired.
andysheart1966 (10:56:27 AM): yep
noisecontrol1 (10:57:21 AM): You can even find inspiration in the works created from the tupac and biggie archives. You don't have to be alive to be continued by people. It's part of what heaven's all about I guess. You live beyond yourself by writing so much that it is undeniable that you have lived well .
andysheart1966 (10:57:38 AM): Mos Def has diversified himself. not only a rap artist, but an actor as well
noisecontrol1 (10:58:46 AM): And a poet. Don't forget the HBO Def Poetry Jam
andysheart1966 (10:59:05 AM): some artists though have rifts between eachother like 50 cent and Ja Rule, do not want to follow into the violent path as tupac and biggie did
andysheart1966 (11:00:11 AM): most rap artists are poets
noisecontrol1 (11:00:43 AM): I had the same concern. Because I saw the possibility that if they went to the mat, there would be a literal war between their henchmen to be rivaled by only those of the mobsters of the Chicagoland Valentines Day Hits and other horrors like it.
andysheart1966 (11:01:19 AM): yep
andysheart1966 (11:01:28 AM): brb
noisecontrol1 (11:02:07 AM): The last thing I want to see as a responsible multicultured person is to see violence of any sort, black, white or otherwise. We have been trying to overcome these issues for nearly 400 years, and its time that history does itself justice and listens to Jefferson instead of Lincoln.
noisecontrol1 (11:02:27 AM): Did I ever tell you I was into Politics?
noisecontrol1 (11:02:30 AM): Smiles
noisecontrol1 (11:02:35 AM):
noisecontrol1 (11:03:19 AM): I'm listening to Blink 182 on Radio One right now. The song Miss You is pretty cool
andysheart1966 (11:03:55 AM): Im back
noisecontrol1 (11:04:04 AM): They could do some things more energetic, but I suppose I can afford them one rock ballad, they deserve it after all these years of writing commercial punk.
noisecontrol1 (11:04:13 AM): Never noticed you were gone.
andysheart1966 (11:04:31 AM): I hate politics which is funny, because I am studying to be a paralegal
noisecontrol1 (11:04:38 AM): Hey, are you interested in sharing your contact list, I'll share mine
andysheart1966 (11:04:45 AM): yea brb is be right back
andysheart1966 (11:05:05 AM):
noisecontrol1 (11:05:48 AM): Is it possible to share contact lists in this program?

noisecontrol1 (11:09:29 AM): I like a band called Something Corporate, that until this year, virtually no one had heard of.
noisecontrol1 (11:09:57 AM): They have an incredible rock ballad called Konstantine that is almost 12 minutes long.
