look, some people like that stuff. and their opinion is just as important as
yours. what the hell do billionaires know about music? well, what the hell
do people named 'matt' know about music?
see my point? it's nice to be superior, but what makes you superior to
people who like the music presented during that awards show...because you
listen to IDM and because you make conscious, thoughtful choices about
music? yeah, well, some people prefer to 'feel' good music rather than think
about it.
too many times, people on this list (and everywhere) forget that an entire
world exists outside this moment...some people don't care so much about
music that they have to have 1500 CDs ready to play at any given time. some
people dance to music. some get laid to music. some cook to music...some
paint, some run, some die...
it's just music and if it makes you hate and disrespect people you don't
even know, then you have something new to think about tonight.

Subject: Re: Re: [idm] American Music Awards.
The most amazing thing about awards shows is not the
music itself. It's the morons who decide who wins the
awards. A committee of like minded idiots(corporate
assholes with the money to decide if we live or die)
chooses what idiots(the general public ie. people who
buy whatever they're selling) should listen to. The
most necessary thing about a list like ours is to band
together, listen to each other and each others music
and give a big middle finger to anyone who subscribes
to Capitalist Herdism. (I am not a communist and I do
believe that Capitalism is good, however there is a
point when too much is too much. What the hell does a
billionaire Know about music anyway.)
Sorry for the Filibuster
But Corporate Music is still Muzak(music listened to
in elevators and department stores) in my book.
