this conversation is so lame. who give's a fuck if radiohead are 'innovative' or not? i think they are a great band... wonderful songwriters. they never claimed to be anything. has it ever occured to any of you that maybe they just used electronic elements for the same reasons that most of us make electronic music?... the reason being that we think it's nice... it's pleasant to our ears and minds. and as far as radiohead being mainstream... so fucking what? they are only mainstream because they've earned it by writing great songs... and they are far away from being bubblegum pop music. i wonder how many of you have actually listened to a radiohead record before spouting off about how they aren't 'real innovators'. i think they're very innovative. maybe they're not 'intelligent' enough for those of you who are the IDM (*barf*) elite... but really... what's so fucking intelligent about IDM?... give me a break. "we're smart because we make intricate electronic music". once again, give me a fucking break. that name needs to go. appreciate the music for what it is... don't try to intellectualize it. sorry for the extra ranting. david. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
