Hey, Wells... I'm not a taste cop. I'm not politically correct. In fact, I think I have one of the most open minds of anyone I know. Hell I even own Muslimgauze, Death in June, Boyd Rice, Charles Manson and Louis Farrakhan CDs and I'm *still* considered to be socially/politically balanced : ) ;) However, I must say that if memory serves me correctly, *you* were bashed on this list as being " a fucking Jewish faggot" ? Yes ? No ? Maybe it was someone else. Anyways, though I could really care what you think/believe/write about people from any locale/country/region....know that this will piss a lot of folks off. It's funny how folks can concentrate on stereotypes and negative social biases whilst having no idea (perhaps) that Hickism and country/rural/provincial ignorance is a universal thing that can be seen in the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, etc etc etc . Somewhere deep in the jungles of the Southern Appalachians, a kid is sitting back with way more equipment than anyone on IDM making *amazing* music. In fact, one of the best kept secrets in American electronic music lives in Minnesota, not quite the deep American South but not exactly the aorta of American aesthete culture. Just saying, Wells, your'e going to piss off a lot of Southerners here. Perhaps had you attacked homosexuals, Jews, blacks, or people from Manchester you'd be getting more response to this post. EITHER WAY, not a flame bait here. You're funny. Cheers, Peter PS: No, I'm not from the South...at all. And your email was *hilarious*, too. PPS: If you ever make it to Georgia, they make some of the best food in America. And not all Southerners are racists...please. np: Dummy Run - Ice Cream Headache QUOTE: Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 00:11:05 -0400 From: wells <xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx> Subject: Re: (idm) savannah, georgia, usa At 11:34 PM 4/21/98 -0400, laerm wrote: >i may be moving there. i'm scared. is there anything, anyone, any goings >on that are worth it? this canadian's scared of southern culture. > Well, let's see what we've got in Savannah that's IDM related. On Mondays, We have the Brothers-In-Arms-Cum-Guzzling-Shindig. It's a family affair that's been in the neighborhood for years. You'll love it. Classic southern hospitality in a family setting. Tuesdays, it's the Have-Sex-With-Your-Sister-All-Nite-Barbeque-And-Slamfest. It's a mixture of mud wrestling, sex with your sister, and watered-down beer straight from Jimmy's own backyard brewery. All the components of a real night on the Georgian town. We Georgians take a break Wednesdays and Thursdays to kick back, throw down a few Colt twenty-four packs, and beat our wives, because the weekend's activites usually need a good deal of preperation (and those wives are just giving us _too much_ lip nowadays). On Friday we've got Beat-the-Minority night, where we find someone that's not exclusively white-bred and Southern-born and beat the pure living shit out of them for having the gall to come to our country, our beautiful homeland, and take our jobs at the motorplant (which is overrun with the Asians nowadays). This is a combination of fun and business, so it's a real effort on all parties involved. On Saturday we all head down to the bar just to watched Johnny's tapes of the NASCAR races that ran over the week. We all root for Mark Martin, coz that sumbitch can _run_. We don't do too much on Sunday, as it's the Sabbath, and it's God first here in Savannah, Georgia. It is through the Lord Jesus that we find strength to continue our homely Southern lives in true American style. ...
