what the fuck is this? fuck snobbery? is this not
snobbery? why do you think that when you find yourself
in love with IDM you are suddenly "with it" musically?
aren.t you "with it" when you fall in love with your
first song? this is exactly what pisses me off about
IDM folk ,they think that they.re corner of the
universe is somehow more advanced than everybody
else.s ,just because i quoted derrick carter ,i get my
entire fucking litany of music loves called into
question? fuck all y.all.
.d:
www.littlegirlempire.com
and for the record ,120 minutes was a great show in
the mid90s ,i found huge amounts of good music through
those bands ,or the bands that they listened to. so
what exactly is unhip about that? because i wasn.t
sitting in a bar listening to the first IDM guys punch
buttons on their samplers? wow.
