Hmm. Two things I noticed about this article: 1. Chantal is rather unattractive. 2. "Getting hold of albums was pretty difficult, so when one of my friends got something by Kraftwerk or whoever, we'd all tape it." So I guess it's okay to make illegal tapes of Kraftwerk, but every site that ever had a Warp MP3 on it gets shut down... uh huh... superfuzz@home.com np: some Gescom MP3s --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Hmm. Now I was one to defend pointing out that someone was attractive. But that wasn't very nice! Also, that's not the most flattering photo. Chantal is actually pretty cute. (BTW.

"Intelligent" and "obsessed with boobies" aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Anyone been to a sci-fi convention? Or E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo)? PLENTY of intelligent people there. But I tell ya.. the only difference between a video game expo and a porn expo is that the former has more lights and monitors -- and this is coming from a guy who works for an entertainment software company. In other words, people on this list talking about boobies and chicks is the first thing I expected when joining the list... :) ======================================================================= Brian MacDonald <brianm@kuci.org> KUCI 88.9 fM in Irvine, CA -- Orange County ======================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Just because this list is for "intelligent dance music" doesn't mean the list members are does it? It's a normal male reaction though, we think about sex every 30 seconds (so they say). Anyone who is in the public eye opens themselves to criticism anyway and the fact that she's a woman, well there's probably so many sex-starved techno boffins on this list not getting any. :) What do you expect?! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

i think it just fucking says something about us.. no matter how cliched alex's argument is, he is right. there has been more discussion about mira calix being 'sexy' or whatever on this list than there has been on the album. HMMM... ? if you want 'fit' women with bit tits, whatever.. then go to the pop scene. brittney spears ET AL.. if you can even tell me that what mira calix looks like is relevent, then fucking go on. i wonder how many female musicians there are acting under pseudonyms as men because of all this prattish behaviour? it's like female authors (george elliot) having to pretend to be male to get taken seriously, fortunately in the book world we seem to have got over the penis / tits problem. enuff. tom xx -- in the year two thousand i think that people will be able to fly everybody will have little rocket shooty things tied on there ankles that shoot fire all our clothes will be made of silver with diamons and roobys we will have no hair and our houses will be like big bouncey bubbles in the sky or under the sea and children will not have to go to school but will watch telly all day and eat baked beans --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

it's not silly tho. it happens all the time, someone starts a discussion about a female [insert profession/art here] and almost immediately someone will comment on her looks. why can't we forget looks and just judge on talent or whatever? the sad thing is, it only seems to happen when discussing women?!!

fair enough. the original message in the thread, however pointed out that "Chantal is rather unattractive." as a point above a quite serious and applicable statement, therefore insinuating that her looks are far more important than her music. it's just, like, who cares what she looks like?

Jeez, I am surprised that through all this babble nobody mentioned the rather slinky and lovely Ms Andrea Parker. Just take a look at the cover of her DJ Kicks. She openly presents herself as rather a babe. Unlike the quite usual faceless anonymity of much IDM. NOT TO MENTION DJ Rap !!! ha ha! It's a very "x marks the spot" sort of cover (Learning Curve) in true cheap calendar fashion. Not that Lisa Lashes would be classified as IDM either... but I have a feeling that her get-up may add somewhat to her popularity among certain sectors. From Helix Tradesman:
