Yeah, I knew that crazy Intarweb wouldn't last!
I don't see what's wrong with "idm." Everyone on this list always
complains that people never dance to the music, and say "it's great to
dance to!" The other everyones always say that "intelligent as a label is
so snotty and pretentious," which accurately describes about 80% of the
discussion and people here.
Perfect!
