Reminds me of what a freind said to me the other day while on the phone with
him at work...
Him - "What are you listening to?"
Me- "Autechre"
Him - "What's that? Techno?"
Me -(wincing 'cause I KNOW what he calls techno) "Well yeah...sort of...I
guess electronica is more appropriate."
Him - "Oh yeah! Hey you have to hook me up with some of that, Spin Magazine
says it's gonna be the next big thing"
Me- (shaking my head in silence)
This is from the same guy who said to me last year that "listening to bands
like Dishwala and Bush was better than listening to techno all day long". My
sad pathetic trendy freinds...
On a similar note... You know when it's getting bad when you hear the
Firestarter single being played over and over again in the local electronics
store - in this case a Wiz in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NYC.
It's even worse when you consider the kind of area this is. Meathead Guido
would be an understatement.
Ahh well
