An utterly off-topic discussion of (gak) New Order/Electronic:
Someone innocently asked (at least, it better be innocently...)
quoted 2 lines Is it just me, or is the new Electronic album the worst piece of shite
>>Is it just me, or is the new Electronic album the worst piece of shite
>>ever to come from such hallowed names as Mr. Sumner and Mr. Marr?
and Gonzi replied:
[slavering fanboy "criticism" deleted]
quoted 1 line Are we really talking about Electronic on IDM?
> Are we really talking about Electronic on IDM?
No, Gonzi, you are. And, regrettably, so am I.
For god's sake boy, it does you no good to be able to tell when
you're off-topic if you ignore your own best judgement. Electronic is
*not* IDM, by any remote stretch of the word. (Yes, I've heard the album
in question, and yes, I have an opinion, and yes, I'm gonna keep it to
myself. But not everyone on this group likes New Order.)
How do we define IDM, boys and girls? IDM has come to mean "the cool
stuff I've got on now", whatever that might be. If I like it, it must be
IDM, right?
Please, let's try to stay remotely on topic. (That goes for you
too, Zenon. I'm tired of having to swim through your stream-of-
consciousness postings.)
And, before you ask, yes, I am holier than thou, and, no, my shit
don't stink.
