Yea... I'm just here to say I think Michael Moore rules. He gave a
talk here at my school the evening after Bush got elected last year.
He was hilarious and very insightful and made us all feel a little
better on that grave day. I guess it helps that he is closely aligned
with my personal politics, but I think he has a lot of important things
to say. Oh shit... where's my IDM content? Ok... so like... if you
ever have to make the decision between seeing Michael Moore or Autechre
live, see Michael Moore! Hooray.
