I don't want to buy a whole album from Photek or Prodigy either! ;)
But seriously, this text seems like the end of my shallow world. I
thought I was cool because I chose to be an IDM fan while all my freinds
were into grunge and that Green-Day neo-DC hardcore stuff. Well, I was
right I guess, and they were wrong, but it is now time to move on.
Oh well. it's been nice knowing all you IDM people.
For sale:
Every fucking IDM record I own.
Gotta get some money to invest in whatever's next. The Mississipi River
Delta Blues resurgent? Salsa from Japan? Blue-eyed soul? Cajun french
music? Anything but *Yuk* electronica!
