idM is "underground" (if thats thre phrase you want to use) all across the UK, considerably more so outside of Leeds, Machester and London. Being in Newcastle, there are several quality shops which stock idm on vinyl as well as cd, and they know their shit too. I think it's kinda silly looking to find a scene to be part of and places to go and fit into when you diss other for being sheep!

The material is out there, try the phone book for indie stores or the net to find stockists. If I can find it oop north then you can get it anywhere. The comment on people being sheep is hilarious, again showing how idm fans believe their music to be more intelligent than other types. What horseshit! Will someone explain this to me. Britney et al is more popular because it's got an image that people can latch onto, it's more catchy than the majority of idm stuff and it isn't hidden away by elitist assholes who don't consider you better tahn shit if you don't know autechre from polygon window. Its a readily accessible friendly-imaged lifestyle enhancing fun product. Liking idm doesn't make people an outcast, attitudes of superiority do though Scott ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
