Hi,

Is it just me or do you guys need to lighten up slightly.
I mean how about some Aphex related jokes?

Ok - a guy walks into a bar and goes "ouch" (cheers to samantha)

LIGHTEN UP!!!

See Ya

Paul

IDM is and isnt dance music....its all subjective....

a couple years ago i was at a party...it was late and only a few people
were left...
my friends and i were feeling happy from the vodka we were drinking all
nite...
we're dancin around to some techno...all of a sudden my friend blasts in
"i care
because you do"....and we start goin ape shit...we abandoned all
conventional
methods and motions of dancing and just let our bodies go freak..rolling
on
the ground...moshing...doing anything and everything....

IDM's objective I feel, surpasses the the notion of dance music...it
exists and is taken in
on a broader level....but of course if one choses to dance to jiri
ceiver...let him be....
