You can't possibly believe this.
why not - it's fairly true - are REM making records for themselves or
because they want to sell another couple of million records. Or is IDM
inherently artistically pure because we stand very little chance of selling
more than a couple of thousand records. It's a standard rock cliche - " we
make the music for ourselves - and if anyone else likes it it's a bonus".
