Speaking of annoying marketing ploys... Last time I was in Tower Records here on South Street (hopefully _the_ last time I will set foot in said store), attempting to browse through the electronic section on the first floor. Unfortunatly, the continuous assault of bombastic alternagrungespeedmetalnoise over the club-style sound system made me run screaming for the second floor jazz/world section, hoping to hear some soothing Blue Note recordings. Instead, I was treated to a record of - wait for it - Teletubbies. Teletubby music. Teletubby narration. Teletubby giggles, gurgles, and squeaks. I never even knew what a Teletubby was, blissful in my ignorance, but after hearing this Teletubby orgy, I immediately abandoned the store, scowling at the employees on the way out. Needless to say, I bought no records there. Went to Digital Underground instead. 3

Just for the record, I wish to state officially that my children aged 10 and 7 both expressly HATE Teletubbies. So who is this drivel aimed at??

i think the teletubbies are aimed for children even younger than that though. or bored teenage stoners, as the common rant goes. i have yet to see a single episode. supposedly they repeat certain scenes a few times so that the kids get it. that's a bit like electronic music then. (& uh there's the idm connection. argh.) np: mac g3 vs pentium 199 'office soundtrack' (now that's minimalist techno) -- david
