No disrespect, but Adult was doing electro before it was a retro thing. They've been a Detroit fixture for ages. jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

To have Peaches and "cream of the crop" put into one sentence disturbs me greatly. I'm shuddering. Ladytron I love, but Peaches... That must be a pretty rotten crop of peaches. forel elitist fuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

some people might use it like that. i've only heard it referring to the music coming out about 20 years ago, stuff by arthur baker and john robie and the like. "electro" is now retro..."-clash" was added onto it for the recent retro craze, which by most accounts is pretty much over, although i'm sure the cream of the crop (ladytron, peaches, adult.) will last awhile longer. d. When I think of Electro, Suction Records comes to mind. The end ak

When I think of Suction, I think of synthpop. And how I'll be at the Solvent show tonight in Pittsburgh. On Wed, 13 Oct 2004 17:00:37 EDT, oneaphex@aol.com <oneaphex@aol.com> wrote:

I've seen it various times, but not very often. I have a site called pghelectro for local electronic stuff, but its just for aesthetic purpose, and is meant to allude pittsburgh electronic (music). Speaking of the electro, the new 2LP/CD compilation "Disco Undead" just came out on Device. Its all electro that takes themes from classic horror flicks. I only gave it one listen so far, but i'm sure it will be getting alot more spins! - cutups --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

heh. nice. yeah, i'm not actually a peaches fan, but i love the scene in "lost in translation" when her song is blasting in the strip club. it's so horrendously OTT and tasteless, it's perfect. plus, she actually made it to a second album which wasn't ignored. so perhaps she's not the best, but i was mainly pointing out the (relative) longevity as opposed to many others in that scene. although i did have a blast one night at berliniamsburg...hungry wives were very entertaining. sadly, they seem to have gone nowhere. i guess that's what they get for smartly proclaiming in their song, "the scene is over". d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

there's a difference between 'elitist' and 'discerning'... the likes of I-F, Legowelt, David Kristian and Kill Memory Crash should be considered the 'cream of the crop'... I wish the world would catch on to the fact that Peaches is just a fouler mouthed version of Carole Pope... and that Berlin's Pleasure Victim is miles beyond anything she'll ever do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

is KMC really called electroclash? that song "Never Forget" on the ghostly site sounds like nitzer ebb to me (i love NE, but...it's been done). the second one was better though - is the rest of it more like that? legowelt was more interesting. i agree i would sooner listen to either of them than peaches 9 times out of 10. but peaches might be more fun if i was drunk in a club.
