I have no idea what any of you are talking about.moosic schmooozic. I mean,
the only reason I go to IDM shows is to lurk in the shadows and prey on
cute, dorky techno boys. I mean, having fun at a show I pay my money for is
like...the lowest priority when I go out.;) ;)
If I want to see people sit behind a laptop, pushing buttons and have music
come out of them;I'd stay at work and have my co-worker download a set from
a many internet broadcasting sites and move the mouse around and look
intense. I've been to laptop affairs where every one just stands around in
swanky clothes that look like they are in food comas: its enough to make you
want to yell 'fire' to see if any one is -really- paying attention to the
music or swankiness.
Big, HUGE props to CEX & Gold Chains & Blectum from Blechdom for supplying
one of THE best live shows I've seen in Detroit.

bobbing your head to the music makes sense, but jumping around and making a
spectacle of yourself seems silly to me. I do like the visual additions to
shows. It helps the music tell a story.
