Did a writer in "The Wire" declare electronic music dead or did the editor
say that? Magazines have numerous writers all of whom have various opinions.
To take the words of a writer and say that is representative of the entire
magazine is off base. I'd say a magazine that has spent over 10 years
covering electronic, jazz, out-rock and related sounds should at least get
nod as "trend setters."
On the other end of things, you've mistaken one of my generalizations as a
statement about something specific. I lumped Jockey Slut in under a category
of "teenage rock/raver/disco rags (Mixmag, DJ, Spin, Rolling Stone, yeah
Jockey Slut)." Of course, I never said Jockey Slut featured Blur or Keoki.
My facts are quite straight (at an angle).
