Heh heh... They sure as hell DID play it. And funny how this happens after "Firestarter" withered under a torrent of derisive email on this very list. Maybe MTV _is_ listening in on the ol' IDM list. So at the count of three, everyone go chaotic with your opinions. This week, Bowie and U2 will be The Redeemers Of IDM; then, once they hit AMP, we slag MTV for playing such shit. Every few days, we start praising others. In turn, their appearance on AMP will be the cue to unleash on how they suck and MTV sucks more for following so blindly. It could be a nice cycle of unending fun, if done right. Of course, we'll need another list in the meantime where the real reviews, debates, and discussions of what is good can occur... Oh well. Prepare to be canned, airbrushed ("Glorified!"), and sold to the public at large. Your happy image will soon be selling beer, new cars, and even more wonderful things! Relax, it won't hurt much -- not at first, anyways. The process probably hasn't even started yet. IT WILL BE WONDERFUL! Dale

And thus....the teachings begin, and thus MTV will learn that it isn't about following others to find what's cool, it's about following your own instincts and tastes to find what's cool. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

Laugh now chump, but I'd pay good money to hear a D&B remix of Sinatra's version of "I've Got You under My Skin". -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists

Too late! My friend DJ Kool-Aid and a guy named Sky (on Disney's label) already did a Jungle mix of Frank doing "Jingle Bells" (or somesuch Christmas music). It got a fair bit of airplay on Groove Radio (the L.A. dance station). - Greg

It was rather interesting. Groove was also playing Christmas mixes of Johnny Mathis vs. The Orb, and Bing Crosby vs. The Chemical Brothers (those were my mixes). :) BRAT - Groove Radio station remixer
