I would agree with most of what is being said about women not being as inthralled by idm as men. But I think in Detroit it is a little different. I have met quite a lot of super cool girls who know what to give props to and what sucks, and a few know a hell of lot more than i do. On the norm though, I would have to agree - most women would rather listen to moby whil= e exercising than sit down, pack a chalace, and spend three hours in an innebriated meditation. As for Aphex Twin, most people, whether it be girls, football players, parents, granmothers, kids - they are all immediately offended by his music and then when they see him they just thin= k the world is coming to an end. Well, as Kid 606 put it, "electronic music is the sound of a bleek tomorrow." -- ..chesterblaze signing off.. =80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80-=80 ...stay linked...
