Although your insinuation that dance music is "degenerate" is questionable and snotty, I'm sure most of the list will concur with your opinion of Simon R. That said, I would love to have a "Breakin' II" style dance competition with the dude. Hell, I'd love to just see a videotape of him dancing. My bet is that he stinks just like most IDMers probably do (cept me!) -cf ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - c h r i s t ø p h e r f ª h e y . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ chrisf@raremedium.com 2 1 2 - 6 3 4 - 6 9 5 0 x 2 5 8 http://www.raremedium.com - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . _ . - ' ^ ' - . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
