hi all,
firstly, i should point out we have the old self-fulfilling
prophecy - the list becomes bad because it's full of people
complaining about how the list is becoming bad? :)
secondly, i KNOW i couldn't stand all these individual, often
petty emails arriving in my mailbox every 5 minutes. it'd annoy
me to death.
so there's actually a simple solution - subscribe to the digest
version of the list. then you get a mail about once or twice
a day with a collection of emails in it, it's really easy to
scan past all the tedious emails and find the interesting stuff,
and.. well, it certainly works very well for me. I'm always
surprised more people aren't using it.
Info, of course, at:
http://www.hyperreal.org/music/lists/idm/
please, let's quit the bad vibes and the 'no wonder everyone's
quit' stylee conversations. there's a lot of useful info on the
list. i don't mind trade lists as long as they're neatly laid
out and aren't posted every 5 seconds. i don't mind links to
your own music as long as they're polite and not posted every
5 seconds. :) what i do mind is the increasing flamewar/rant
craziness. oh, and posting requests/links to illegal mp3s on
list is kinda rude too. but.. bleh.
regards,
h0l.
ps - [insert idm content here] - guess me+some other people
will be going to the DJ Spooky vs. Scanner BOLT thing in
SanFran on Saturday night. I'll try to post to say how it
was.. should be intriguing, at least :)
pps - thanks for the Daniel Ibbotson info, all. Much
appreciated.
