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... Tom 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.
