no, because most 15 year olds (not all, i imagine) want a catchy chorus, and some super-photogenic copycat (i.e. bush). i'd love to see an aphex shirt at the mall, though. save me either the time of making my own (which would probably be more fun, actually), or the cost of shipping and conversion and all that crap for the transatlantic order. at any rate, why SHOULDN'T these guys be filling arenas? granted, the music isn't traditional arena fare, but it's good enough to get that much interest... just my .02 alan! __ :::::/\ \:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::/ \ \::::::you make the mistake::::::::::: :::/ /\ \ \:::::you judge a man by his race:::: ::/ / /\ \ \::::you go through life:::::::::::: :/ / /__\_\ \:::with egg on your face:::::::::: / / /________\::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: \/___________/::::::::::-beastie boys::::::::::
