>I whole-heartedly agree. Any kind of ignoration (is that a word?) >based on something as totalitarian as a concept (Adorno (he-he)) >is use- and worthless. on the pretentious tip, adorno banged on about 'negative dialectic' as well, i.e. that music must be "difficult" because the undemanding acts as a mass sedative, e.g. the feelgood factor of nationalistic compositions as used by nazis.. the manic street preachers expanded on this, in their own inimitable way on "motown junk" watch out for adorno's new album on skam as well >"Loveless" is better than anything ever called IDM or techno. "To Here >Knows When" is quite possibly the greatest 4 1/2 minutes of music in the >history of the art form. That is all I will say. my bloody valentine?, commonly know as 'indie wank' in our house ,tell them to come back when they stop ripping of sonic youth & learn more than an A- barre chord, only decent thing they did was getting andy weatherall to rescue 'glider', strictly IMHO [BTW] before you start imho the greatest 4 1/2 minutes of music in the "history of art form" [whatever that means] is Cage's 'Silence' ho ho ho & a bottle of rum [sm]
