If I'm in the mood, it's fucking funny.

Aphex dropped by to take the piss remember?

I do... I don't know what people are complaining about. It's easy to pick
the serious content from the bickering. If all IDM talked about were the
barcodes on obscure, foreign, import, limited-edition, free poster,
wrapped-in-a-12" square-packamac records then we'd be a pretty sad bunch
n'est pas?
Here's some topics for yer:
How to get the snot-like price tag glue off CD boxes?
Which is better? Vinyl or CDs?
How do I start making techno?
Do the drugs work?
Is your life complete without the complete works of RDJ?
Are rare records better than freely available records?
Which is better, a 'proper' sampler or a PC soundcard? (a modern-day
classic)
Music - Form over Function?
Records which would you cause you serious embarassment if the IDM list knew
you had them
What's the best music to fall asleep to?
Is expensive stereo equipment necessary/better?
Do you find it dangerous listening to certain music while driving?
And as for the questionnaires, how about IQ tests? (Sometimes I amaze
myself...)
{a little goes a long, long way}
np: AFX...Am I cool? Ae...Am I cool? Squarepusher... Am I cool? Am I cool
now?
