IDM Mailing Archive

the general stereotype is that IDM is boring chin-stroking look at your feet or the performer music. for house it's one of gino(a)'s dancing to foofy music with no intellect behind it. Anyone who actively believes either is an idiot. Of course anyone who actively disbelieves either is also an idiot. The basic reason that IDM people aren't so into house is all psychological. People who base their self-worth more on their intelligence don't base it as much on their physical appearance, and vice versa, and when at a club listening to house music physical appearance is the most emphacized (mostly because it's too loud to chin stroke with someone else about the music) and people who feel uncomfortable about their physical appearance aren't comfortable in that kind of setting and hence dismissive of the music. So what I'm trying to say is that if you don't like house it's probably because you have a low sense of self-worth WRT to physical appearance, so get over yourself already, house has been around a lot longer then IDM. Oh and go get the Swayzak album.

ok, i really cant resist - the rest of this post was so illogical it made no sense. perhaps we need a thread on the origins of idm - did it really start with aphex twin & autechre? thought idm has origins with people like philip glass, steve reich, john cage, stockhausen, eno. maybe i'm wrong again. i have deep house records from the early eighties - what was juan atkins cybotron and early experimental hip hop electro??? and electronic music from san francisco that i would consider idm from the same time period. although i look like a thin bearded boy named bob with glasses i didnt think my self esteem was that low. i also have latin, middle eastern, sufi, sitar, reggae, dub, hard techno drum n bass, frank sinatra, james brown, sade (!) and jack kerouac reading poetry to some jazz dudes blowing mean & hard in my record collection...so i probably dont even BELONG on this list. oh yeah, and as an ex san frandisKo resident, i got some disco, jefferson airplane, country joe & the fish, hendrix, joplin and quicksilver messenger service albums 2 - but that doesnt mean i'm a smelly tied died dead head does it???? i'm just some old skool dude with musical perspective. *L* tosh said:
