Did a writer in "The Wire" declare electronic music dead or did the editor say that? Magazines have numerous writers all of whom have various opinions. To take the words of a writer and say that is representative of the entire magazine is off base. I'd say a magazine that has spent over 10 years covering electronic, jazz, out-rock and related sounds should at least get nod as "trend setters." On the other end of things, you've mistaken one of my generalizations as a statement about something specific. I lumped Jockey Slut in under a category of "teenage rock/raver/disco rags (Mixmag, DJ, Spin, Rolling Stone, yeah Jockey Slut)." Of course, I never said Jockey Slut featured Blur or Keoki. My facts are quite straight (at an angle). > > > >uhmmmm Wire passes themselves as trend setting hipsters. In one issue >they declare electronic music is dead. The next issue plaid is on the >cover.
