No, no - I couldn't stop myself responding to the Kraftwerk reference.
However, at least the winking face indicates "knowingness".
I think the 15-years-on perspective is necessary here.
Today's Controversy:
Anyone who subscribes to this list is by definition more interested in
music than Essex Man and Woman. It seems perfectly okay to me to want all
the releases by your favourite artists. All these pseudonyms just make
the whole process more interesting. Would people rather "our stuff" was
released with the crushing cynicism of most major labels? i.e. endless
double-packs, reissues etc.? I would never spend 50 quid on say J9
picture disc cos I'd rather get 5 albums, but I wouldn't diss people who
chase after such things.
By the way, Woodenspoon is me - wasn't it obvious? Sheffield? Moved over
from Manchester? (the SKAM boys advised me that only Warp could handle my
talent).
