Terrence McKenna is IMHO kind of riding on STC's coat tails. The music is so cool, people tolerate the old fart babbling over it. I wish that STC would get a clue and do a collaboration with someone who's really good at babbling, like Professor Irwin Corey. (Professor Irwin Corey, for you young whippersnappers, was a sort of stand up comedian who dressed in a slept-in suit with high top Chucks and did a pretty funny incoherent professor act. When Gravity's Rainbow won the National Book Award, Thomas Pynchon sent him to accept the award)

From the same shallow article: "with the cachet of hipness that Americans always assign British Music, techno slowly begins to make inroads into white America, and raves, particularly on the west coast, were suddenly touted as the wave of the future. Skimming gracelessly from tracts on pagan religions, new-age pamphlets, and 60's bumper stickers, proponents of the new scene stiched together a gooey spirituality. They made drug use a staple of the movement, even digging up Timothy Leary and adopting him as an elder statesman. And they quickly ripped off oversized "gear," already an established signifier of the hip hop and beach subcultures, as their easy-to-purchase uniform." ObIDM: As TeeP alluded, Richard James and Mike Paradinas (aka Mu-Ziq) are recording together. wicked. _______ (__,-, \ / /\ \ f l u i d <finger me for PGP key> /,_) \ \ flu'id (floo'-) (/ \\ brit@chopin.udel.edu :65 FD F9 9F F2 23 F8 CF: \) fluid@freezer.cns.udel.edu :80 9C 11 AA 9F 92 0D 27:
