Friends, ameriphobia is *real*. Let no one mislead you. Whether it is a matter of the low self esteem of others, a matter of preference or genetic determinism is moot and unproductive. Some will use any opportunity to jump on this phobic bandwagon. Beware of easy targets and national scapegoats. 8^D (obligatory emoticon allows me to say practically anything) jeff ps the real answer to all of this is simply : 1. Remain calm. 2. Delete EVERYTHING before reading. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I'm sure if you re-read the original post: very, very carefully - you might not miss the point and jump the gun with your paranoid delusions of anti-american sentiment.... irony...? I love Americans, youre all so damn silly, but in a sweet way :) --- Mxyzptlk <jpklein@telocity.com> wrote:

One must admit the dramatic irony of assuming that idiocy has borders. Non-Americans seem *already* wound up and ready to go off without realizing they demonstrate that the pot often calls the kettle black . Perhaps you should re-read MY post as it seems you missed what (I thought) was the obvious humor in which it was couched. jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Uh, not to walk into an obvious trap or anything, but isn't it a wee bit illogical to first claim that you don't read the posts, then make nice, broad, sweeping generalizations about the contents and posters thereof? Just a thought. Huh, never thought I'd hear myself defending americans... I'll take it as a good sign of my own philosophical purity.

let's see how much a sense of humor you ppl really have :P lol, all in good fun ;) Aphex Twin: "Muqtyl'loopy DaMcHooqulawawaquey" (music CD) - Richard D. James is back with his latest electronic / experimental CD set, which includes 438 discs and over 2,300 tracks. Aphex Twin takes a jump into the most surreal and creative soundscape ever, including such songs as: "Clue Cloo Lande" - Two minutes of a homeless man hitting random keys on a broken piano while James applies a highpass filter at random times. "Marz'a booq Doo Daa Dayee" - 20-second piece of birds chirping while a Minimoog is bashed to pieces by falling construction equipment. "Thee Nootey Pero Fez'or 2: Thee Klumphz" - A five-second bassline loop is repeated for twelve solid minutes while the sound of playing cards hitting a lawnchair plays in the foreground. "Horque Dorque" - As the most dance-friendly song on CD 261, "Horque Dorque" presents the listeners with a gritty, distorted drumbeat accompanied by a 28 different analogue keyboards playing 28 different notes on 28 different resonance settings. This CD is already a smash hit with the demographic of people who think they're smarter and more cultured than everybody else because they listen to unlistenable music that everybody else listens to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel Fever" <joel_fever@yahoo.com> To: "j d" <oberheim_thief@yahoo.co.uk>; <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 6:20 AM Subject: Re: [idm] americans/this list

I am so fuckin sick of you irritating, condescending, Europeans. You just constantly have to throw in these snide little remarks about 'Americans' and how cool you are because you aren't one. If we Americans suck so bad, why don't you stop copying our artists. People like you say they are musicians/artists/creators, but spend all their time talking about all the work other dedicated artists are putting out and critique it with your 'I know better than you' attitudes. OR, their is an even lamer type that comes to online discussion lists and starts critiquing the discussions. Next time you vapid whores have the itch to let everyone know how smart you are, why don't you try creating something, instead of shitting all over other peoples thoughts and computer screens. -- UNET Digiradi Media Filter www.digiradi.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

As a matter of fact Pussy Foot once released a compilation called Pussy Galore to celebrate there 7th release. Catalog n° was: PUSSY 007 haha! Which contained nothing but Bond theme music, admitedly more on the trip-hop tip, but several tracks could fall under a (broad) IDM definition, and besides some totally wacko interpretations there was some great music on there ... not to mention the funny tracktitles ;) see http://www.discogs.com/release/12528 for details bart www.freestylegrooves.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
