I was just down in San Diego over this past weekend, where they were having this gay pride type parade through the Hillcrest/Balboa Park area. I got to hear plenty of terrible clubby disco house. I'm not sure what it is with gay clubs and the worst music in the world, but they always seem to be paired (at least in Southern California). Why do I even bother spending whole weekends pursuing and wooing girls? It's so futile. I should just be gay and give up my IDM snob status. If I had seen a shiny parade float go by with a bunch of guys with glitter on their pecs *and* they were listening to Arovane, I would have put on a Daikatana t-shirt and given up on girls forever. idm: My copy of Gas' _Koenigsforst_ arrived. I'm a little underwhelmed. It's okay, but I was envisioning more of a study of the texture of string instruments and such. 10 minutes of what sounds like overly reverby 'ambient techno' is hard for me to get excited about. Maybe it requires more listens. Also I coughed up the money for Richard Devine mp3s off of emusic. I heartily recommend that everyone on IDM hoard as much Richard Devine as possible, in case there's an earthquake and you're trapped under some rubble for a month. You need to have a good supply until they dig you out. hip hop: zion-I 0wnz me, you, and oscar the grouch. this is my favorite hip hop of the last few months. also "the heist" off of busta rhymes' new album is pretty cool. I like people who are down with the Casio styles. ---- "A typewriter is more architectural than all those building projects which win prizes at academies and competitions." - Giacomo Balla [http://spof.net] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
