I don't think I'd go so far as to call The Onion reliable for anything electronic; most everything I read (electronic reviews-wise) sounds like Entertainment Weekly when *they* try to review something like the recent LoFi's Big Beat Boutique release (I think it was either this week or last week). It's always obvious that they're relying WAY too heavily on skewered press packets and not enough on actually figuring the scene. Which, of course, is understandable for the audience both pubs are after. laz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
