How can this list be taken seriously when the subject of Mira Calix's looks gets more traffic than a serious question about her music? Check out what this guy Alex_tea wrote:

Exactly! I've seen Ross Balmer make some reasonable comments (below) about her music and asked a perfectly decent question. Any replies? Well, none on the list, anyway. Did Ross get any response via private email? Possibly, but I doubt it. Ross Balmer wrote:

And then I posted my own question about Mira Calix (below), and did I get a response? No, not a sausage. In fact, since I posted it, there have been 8 messages about Mira Calix's looks and the 'human rights' issues associated with talking about them, and not a single one about the music that she produces.

If this is as intelligent as the 'intelligent music' community gets, then I've had enough. Many thanks to the few people on this list who have been helpful and interesting. As for the rest of you... Don't feel any need to reply to this (as if you would) because I won't be around to read it. Good bye.

Okay, that's probably just wrong. If you go about tallying up all of the posts related to her music, and then those related to her looks, I'd wager that the music gets a lot more discussion. So thanks. Anyway, her music's alright.. nothing too interesting, so maybe that's why we don't talk about it. / wells // www.submute.net

Was that guy for real? I hope he's gone to a more serious hardcore straight one subjecy only list. Time and time again people blow their tops over e-mails that they should just delete. I don't consider this list and its members more or less intelligent than the ones on the weatherall list or the ones on the tricky list. This guy is so far up his own ass. I've got to say I've never come across such a wall of highbrow "better than them because.." bullshit as I have here. But hey that's why I like it. And if no one answers his questions he should asking ones no one cares about. It sound to me more like he's taken a strop and thrown his toys outta the pram. He sounds like a prat. Scott
