air supply and others of that ilk (night ranger, reo speedwagon, etc, etc etc) were 80s saccharine popsters that people who had only AM radio to listen to growing up (me! me!) had to endure if they wanted to hear some "music". they sorta epitomize bad 80s music. i think in the movie "the wedding singer" that was the song they used to get this point across. acts like air supply, for me at least, were part of the reason i busted my ass to get hunting for some "real" music that i figured just had to be out there (which is quite a task finding when you grow up in a small town of 500 or so people till the age of 17 and then you finally break free for the big city of halifax!) hope this helps ;) andrew duke :) Irene McC wrote: > A little ad caught my eye in the Carl Craig cover issue of Wire > No 185 (July 99). > > On p86 there's an advert for Drop Beat which reads: > > "FUCK IDM > AUTECHRE IS AIR SUPPLY > ------------------------------------------- > > 8 Hood rmx ep > 9 Kaman Leung EP > 10 FM ep (not yet) > 11 Kit Clayton Mini LP" > ------------------------------------------- > > followed by Drop Beat's contact info. > > Yes?
