that is such bullshit--i thought we covered that two weeks ago.

one music is not "more intelligent" than another--that idea in itself is
pretty unintelligent.  the spice girls and rozalla are "different" than
what i listen to--not better or worse.

there is a lot wrong with being pretentious.  when you feel you are
better than others, you close yourself off from the enrichment of
learning from other people and benefiting from their experiences and
insight.  one of my best friends amazes me with how insightful and
intelligent he is.  he loves rozalla.  SO?

music--imo--is about a transfer of emotion that is not dependent upon
the latest groundbreaking sound, or ingenious programming trick.
emotion does not know the boundaries that we have placed around what we
classify as "intelligent."

i am glad that i got back on this list after two years, because it put
me back in touch with my friends at obliq--great comp, by the way--but
until someone emails me to tell me that they took the ****ng "i" out of
idm, i am out of here.

unintelligently yours,
