I don't really care about those subjects, and I rarely post to wide threads like those, but I respect the people who do want to discuss them (if the threads are in fact, IDM-related). Even if people spew obscenities and ego-boosts back and forth, the delete button takes care of it in several seconds. Yes, I do wish that more of the traffic on this list was of the more intelligent variety, but I accept (while ignoring and deleting) the threads I could care less about. >> I find that the digest works well with dealing with this. I find that when I'm on a list that gets too much to deal with ( negativity, baiting, challenges, mistaken communication ) I feel the digest approach works wonders. You just open the digest, hold down the vertical scroll and RIP! Much kinder than getting shot in the face with bullshit every 1-2 hours ( or whenever you read email ). I love this list....with all of it's problems and BS, I love this list. Suggestions on how to make it better are important and ,of course, should be regarded. However, trying to impose a collective concensus to get along and/or represent intelligence, as in life, is quite difficult if not, impossible. Sometimes the list is great, sometimes it sucks. At times, brilliance and intelligence raise their shy heads and everything is kicking right! It's like... life in general? Now back to IDM type matters ( since I kicked in my excessive political, social BS...there *is* music to talk about. ) For those that remember: in NYC: Andy (VVM ) and Speedranch from Manchester *will* be in town during 11/11 to 11/21. Andy and Speed will be spinning and representing some unspun white labels and new stuff from many digs , including SKAM . They will be dj'ing at Abstrakt in the Lower East Side ( Orchard St. ? ) on Tuesday the 11th. This will be late, and stands only partially confirmed. On the 18th, the following week, they are solidly and definitely confirmed. I *believe* this party is FREE. Any NYCers in touch with a guy named Neil who does parties at The Den of Thieves? I had a lead but lost him. There is also a chance of another East Coast show, but I'm waiting for further contact. I'll keep y'all posted if anything comes up. And word has it of a possible Bay Area show. And I hear they have a So Cal lead for later in the year. Anyways, the list. This list works like a pendulum. I just wait until the day when the list is doing realy realy well and we're all intelligent and getting along and a " Will everyone please stop being so intelligent and stop getting along. " thread ensues. np: Hassell/Eno: 4th World, Volume 1, Possible Musics nxt: Erick Sermon: Double or Nothing ( with Redman...combo extraordinaire ) still in my head from last night: Journeyman: National Hijinx ***********************************************( woosh! )
