Well it's a bit simpler if you consider the definition of FAQ:

Take the threads that we see again and again ad nauseum (cd vs. vinyl, 
what is IDM/IDM is pretentious/etc. etc.) and include various views
on these topics so that they don't come up too often on the list.  
A html version could be set up wherein we could include links to
relevant threads in the archives, etc.  The html version could also
have loads of trainspotter junk such as links to discographies.  If
a webpage is set up, I'd be willing to help with design/writing/
html.  

Well Teep how does this look from a list admin standpoint?  Would
there be space for a FAQ @ hyperreal?

Recent IDM bits:

Saw Tortiose in Chicago at the Metro; they put on a very good show.
They went through almost all of TNT, with the essentials from 
Millions... and the s/t.  It seemed a bit disjointed at times, but
it remained interesting throughout, and they hit improvisational
highs were they really grooved.  Djed as the final encore, beautiful.
They also shot recorded snippits of applause and crowd noise back
out through the speakers, which was fresh.

Farmers Manual.

Markant -- delightful majestic lil melodies.  

This may become a debate of taste, which i distrust entirely, but:
does anyone have any thoughts on the semi-recent Laswell Miles remix
project?  Is it sacrilege or what?
