oddly enough, the week i wrote a fake story to this list about a Skam frisbee bootlegging operation in indonesia, the Onion wrote a story set in indonesia as well. if i were paranoid enough to care, i'd believe strongly that there's a mole from the Onion lurking on this list, keeping up on the hottest new sounds in electronica -- as well as being inspired by what we all post to the list, using it as gristle to spit out pieces in next week's issue. by the way, herrn zwiebel, if you're out there, please give us more of Jim "The Cruise" Anchower -- you just can't go wrong with running jokes on pot, miller lite, and bitchin' camaros... -a. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
