>From time to time, a post on IDM ( sometimes my own, as in this case ) become misconstrued. My email was titled: " out of context thought" designating it as something quoted from a quote from a quote from a quote.Summary point, along with the mean and nasty sarcasm, not quoted is: > Hip Hop, with the dj at it's center, will evolve in so many ways, but even if you think that turntablism is shit ( which, of course, is an aesthetic/taste based right ) the dj and his/her turntable workings, will remain in the nucleus. > I totally agree that if anyone thinks *any* music sucks or is wankery/musical mastrubation, that's their right! Thus I said; " if you think that turntablism is shit ( which, of course, is an aesthetic/taste based right ) ". I just had to assert, and will again, that *should* anyone discredit the role of the dj in Hip Hop music, they need to educate themselves. and hey! the last thing I want to do is offend brap! Anyone who defends vvm is OK by me. : ) back to IDM: any Brits got a copy of Wreck this Mess, Remission 1? gossip column: anyone know who's got next month's Wire cover? np: Tear Ceremony: Resin ( ambient fans out there..check out the Simulacra label!)
