hi. i'm a fresh return from burning man, after spending 8 days there. stanky old hippies? sure, there was a fair share of them there...they were naked too. so what? it was fucking amazing there. any and everything you could imagine it seemed like. and for the idm content? i played a bunch of warp, cup of tea, ninja tune, countless others on assault radio 102.3, one of the many temporary radio stations set up[ for the event. saturn5, a lurker on this here list, also laid down some tasty idm and industrial tracks. right next to the radio station was mooncalf's casio camp. these guys came up with some pretty amazing shit using a couple dimestore casio keyboards, more than a few distortion pedals, and an atari 2600 set out for random folks to come up and play. there was also a huge sound array out a ways from the south end of the playa. i didn't get a chance to see/hear this, but reports are this thing was incredible. somnething about picking up soupcans on sticks and hearing weird noises through them. anyone who went see this? clarification? anyways, idm and all other forms of music were there in adundance. the whole event was, well, too much for words really. too bad some people believe the bullshit they see on tabloid tv. and marketing scam? please. this thing has happened every year for 13 years. only in recent years has it made media. "seems really stupid"? you watch/believe Strange Universe.
