I pronounce it all kinds of silly ways,variety is the spice of life,ease up Dylan take a chill pill.

Recently, I re-read the blog I wrote to introduce the Night Owl Hot Brews, and I thought it merited a re-share with some updates. Below you’ll find my 2013 edit of the […]

After reading the blurb above the video I was a bit taken aback by the actual content. As a light hearted comical rant? Sure it was funny. But it doesn’t make any of Pantload’s comments less valid. Shambhala is a positive, magical place where negativity doesn’t belong. Talking about douches, posers and haters (people who you may even get along with at Sham even if never in any other life situation) in such a manner essentially makes you one of said haters. Sorry Dylan. Love your work but wrong message to be sending out.

First, he talks about how Sham is a community created by the participants while in the same breath essentially excludes anyone who pronounces the name of the event differently than its inspiration and source. Not very ‘radically inclusive’ if you ask me, in fact, it’s elitist and lame.

Secondly, the pronunciation of the Buddhist concept of ‘shambhala’ has little, if anything, to do with the event that takes place in Salmo. Words, concepts, and meanings change over time as they begin to take root in new cultures and the pronunciation – ShamBALA – is just an instance of that. For many of the participants, the signifier – Shambhala – signifies the event in Salmo independent of its meaning in the Buddhist lexicon. For a DJ/producer who relies heavily on samples and found sounds to hold a viewpoint that doesn’t allow for the shifting of meanings over time is the height of irony.

Mad respect to Dylan and the Sham family.
