ewww.  it was all fine for the death metal bit, but britney spears is
just fucking gross.

i reckon your comment is meant as a joke, but i fail to see your point. 
electronic music is like, quite easy to spot by the cover.  & as for
"looks" (& by that i mean planned looks, not just whatever the person
looks like in real life), they're usually marketing tools for mtv-fed
genx kids who wonder what next orifice to get pierced so it's only
healthy to be weary of them.

i mean, hell, autechre look like 2 regular ex-grungers.  amon tobin
looks like a regular computer geek.  he could be your co-worker or your
roommate.  now that's a look to trust.
