It isn't my sarcasm that is misplaced, it's my lack of gangsta lingo
that shoulda read "Awwwh yeah" not "oh ..." as to imply sarcasm.
My booboo.

you have very fucking good point!!! I am way off the mark on saying 
that comment.  Somehow this weekend I managed to go to an all TRANCE 
candy smil-E rave. I am sooo sick of trance, I've been begging to vent 
all week and my "elitism" ended up here on IDM instead of a more 
appropriate place like SoCal raves list. DOn't get me wrong I have 
plenty of fun at these lollipop raves, but it's usually the chemicals, 
not the music that get me going!!! that DJ huggie music doesn't fuck 
with my head like a good Squarepusher track. Somehow I've just been 
wanting to bitch and complain about the more "commercial/popular" side 
of electronica and that frustration got thrown at J. Bentley and crew.

I don't hate his guts, I just don't like his methods of playing "live" 
nor do I care for his music. NOW I DO LIKE HIS MAGAZINE!!!! Fuck yeah, 
and his latest issue is extremely IDM worthy! How can you get mad at 
me for not liking the way he does his shit live? Am I not allowed to 
be critical of it. But it's OK for other IDM'ers to bitch about those 
C. Bros always doing it off DAT? So if there's a local less-known 
artist I'm supposed to support him 100%??? Is this what you would have 
preferred Greg? I don't understand what is wrong with being critical 
of a guy who basically does a Milli Vanilli.
