You see, everyone... when someone achieves any level of success, the vehemence and passion of his or her detractors over even the most minor of issues shines through... thus further emphasizing that persons level of success. When someone says nothing (you know, like some people claim Autechre are doing by not responding onlist or to their personal emails), they're looked down upon. If they say something (as John Balance has), then they're looked down upon. A hater is a hater whether it be krautrock or pop. I hope I get famous someday. Then I can ignore it when people talk trash about me as I sit in my Park Avenue penthouse smoking a Cohiba and drinking a smooth whiskey and say "Wow, I'm fucking famous! Joe in Idaho thinks I'm weak." -djgyn, meester lubberman ===== ======= "GASR" -(Accession recording artists)- << http://gasr.somewhere.net >> << http://www.accession-records.com >> "Transmissions From Scumsburg" -(Industrial Radio Show)- << http://www.angelfire.com/ma/scumsburg/ >> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
