I was the one who said buy the mag.  Shame on me.   I said that because:

1.  I am lazy 
2.  the interview conveys much more that I could in a few words.  In fact
I probably would have given the wrong impression.  If I had known about
the web page I would have directed them there.

is directing someone to a web page an advertisement? (what if the person
who runs the page gets money with every hit?) In fact, anytime someone
reviews something or recommends something isn't that an advertisement?  
Someone says, hey I want ambient dub.  Then someone says go buy Comp X.  
Those money grubbing bastards could have sent the person mp3s instead of
telling them to buy the CD.  Stingy with the information yet again...

as for the utopian outlook of art for arts sake.  No money is needed;
peace love etc..  I have to say this:

when you go to the grocery store to buy milk they won't give it to you
because you wrote an opus...  

IDM tip of the day:

Silk Saw - preparing wars (Ant-zen) : odd, disturbing and dark.   Drum and
bass (and I use that term in the loosest sense of the word possible)
inspired electronic meanderings (full of sound and fury). Perfect when you
don't want the sun to shine.
