not directed at you dave, just it seems a large segment of the list would do

See, I wish I could be ACDC, but I can't. That paradime just don't work anymore. There's too many other elements culturally and musically that make the same old rock gestures tired and useless. The press keeps jacking off over the Strokes, but they are just a very good rehash of the same old thing. but I also think we need to be true to our roots. Rock, Rap and Punk music have been the dominate music of rebellion for 50 years. Why should we assume that a new alternative will pop up in a few years? Why not use these elements to make something new, just as Rap did in the 80's. And you know what, something is new out there, we just can't say what it is just yet... What I'm saying, is that we have to define our interests better, because the sun does not rise and fall over the Warp records back catalogue. We have to intergate more into what we do than just try to figure out how to emulate AFX or AE. That's why I try to make new music made from the stinking corpse of rock... (and so do other people, wait till you hear the new matmos stuff) Donna www.cockrockdisco.com _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
