I've been forcing my friends to listen to "my" music for years now, but it never really caught on until I played them Squarepusher - Feed me Weird Things a couple of days ago. This was the first time anyone asked me to play one of my CDs again. One of them e-mailed me saying he'd wants to buy some of this stuff, how much does it cost. While I'm here, Canadians might be interested in knowing that MuchMusic is playing a second installment of R.U.Receiving? at midnight eastern on feb 7. Hopefully this one will be better than the first. manny. OnNow: Autechre - Envane (which I highly recommend. every track is great). -- Why R Are Why / Are Y Are We?
