You mean the guy who runs that harder! faster! louder! club (or whatever it's called)? Yeah, he seemed like a totally full-of-himself wanker, right down to that photo of him all dolled up like some escapee from a New Romantic band circa 1982. I mean, all this shit about locking people into the club while the "music" gets louder and louder and louder - please, spare me. Yawn. I like the V/Vm boyz 'cause they've got a totally wicked sense of humour about this whole thing. They recognize the rediculous aspects of the "scene" - like the ultra-limited editions and such - and they totally take the piss out of it, while still producing some fine sounds. But this whole "look at me, I'm so cutting edge and avant garde and shocking" attitude that other folks seem to exude is just laughable. Greg
