What the hell are you talking about? Just because a
electronic track might use minor amounts of guitar,
than it is rock n roll and therefore sucks
Man! And people think I am picky and critical. I
definitely think that you can still make great music
using keyboards, guitars, digeridoos, and 100s of
other instruments. As long as you use them in a
creative way (vs a cliche way).

Wow. we obviously disagree on that. I think
Landcruising is one of my all time favorite techno/idm
cds of all times. It's definitely up there with all
the old Aphex Twin and Autechre stuff.
So do you not like anything at all with guitars? I
can't stand most rock. I do really like stuff like My
Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, Stereolab and
alot of stuff on the Kranky label.
