(idm) The Hulkster

Aside from the inflammatory comments about NinjaTune and such etcetera, does
anybody else think it's pretty neat concept to have a professional wrestler of
celebrity status on a list devoted to such odd & often deranged-sounding music?

If this is the real Hollywood Hogan, then this is the perfect example of the
pervasive/addictive nature of the music we listen to and how it can be enjoyed
by those from ALL, and I mean ALL, walks of life, whether you be a Linux/BSD
hackerboy or a post-hippie boomer or a housewife or a college student or whatever.

Whether he's the real Hogan or not, who knows (or cares, really) it's still a
cool concept.
It's almost too absurd not to be true, in a way. At any rate, having a person
who just calls themself "Hulk Hogan" is odd on a list like this, so I guess
it's still an example of how diverse techno/IDM fandom is.

Just some thoughts. I've been bored today...

P.S. The new Funki Porcini is excellent, great stuff. Epic yet mundane, what
Funki does best, rather late-Bop-era-ified with respect to the jazz side of it.
