It's because they show up in public with laptops, however they originally
created the tracks. Laptop is a convenient tag for journalists, not any
grand movement.
Laptops are just a means to an end. Most guys either just play
out presequenced stuff and fuck with effects (606, Rich Devine), or
have some sort of multi-loop player patch that lets them recombine
loops live and fuck with effects (Kit Clayton).
I've resisted buying a laptop because they're super expensive compared
to desktop machines. Should I be called a Desktop Rocker? And for that
matter I bring out a mid-tower case, does that make me a Mid-Tower rocker?
I'm saving up for a flat display so I can stop hauling out the 17" monitor.
Ohhh my herniated disk ....
