This is a bit of a tangent, but here goes.  About a year ago, some
friends and I were trying to organize an idm appreciation club at the
university of waterloo. There was already a strong techno club that
organized trips to raves and had a minimal cd library, but we wanted
something different which attracted experimental musicians and fans
outside of the rave scene.  We were trying to come up with slogans and
ways describe and advertise what the club was all about.  My favorite
proposal was "If you feel like dancing when you hear a modem, you'll fit
right in."  :) Unfortunately the club flopped.
