you figured out our secret! yes, simon reynolds has set up the Foundation for New Musical Nomenclature and Neologistic Overkill, with generous funding from dave eggers and david foster wallace. every time we invent a term and it goes to press, we get $25. we also get royalties on recurring usage. i've already bought myself a new dictionary with the proceeds from "microhouse" and i'm hard at work on R&D... ;) just being flippant, of course. the question of genre and neologism is of course a sticky one (um, no pun intended), but in the case of "microsampling," it's much easier -- that's akufen's own term. cheers philip --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
