Does anyone find the fact that there are wankers on IDM surprising? I've
discussed this personally with a close friend who has studied music for
quite a while, and we both came to this conclusion:
There is such a thing as thinking TOO MUCH about music.
I live in a town with the most pointlessly famous jazz school (Denton, TX
- UNT) - and there are way too many people around here who are too
closedminded to even recognize music created whole with synths as valid.
So musical Luddites bother me in many various forms.

Speaking of Honky, stay tuned for more... even if I did just insult "one
third" of the list.
