Man your hilarious :)
You feel sorry that someone doesn't share your opinion
about an artist? Is Squarepusher the ONLY "genius" out
there? There are alot of geniuses out there. And
"geniuses" don't always releases "genius material",
sometimes they disappoint or make toss.

Sincerity and integrity is not the reason I buy
records. I don't buy records because they are good to
their mothers and feed homeless people. It's the
music, and that all! I don't care if the person has
written the most brilliant tunes in the world. If they
are releasing stuff that I don't like, then I won't
buy that particular release.

First off I would like to hear why they do or don't
like the release. Give a little background to support
their statement, you know.

First off, people should listen and judge for
themselves and then comment. I don't think anyone
claims to be all knowing. Do you complain to magazines
when they don't give a favorable review. It's all
subjective, some people will like it some won't.

IDM isn't that revolutionary anymore. Maybe to people
that are new to it. I haven't heard a single idm
release this year that has had a major impact. Sure
there has been some really good material here and
there, but nothing revolutionary.
