There's quite a difference betwixt clutter and randomness. Sure, the
constant live-show announcements for everywhere but here are a pain
in the ass, but at least they're electronic and "idm-ey." I haven't
seen a pop/rock flyer, and, sure, we get spammed by prog-trance crap
sometimes but that's inevitable.
Same with playlists. I never listen to them, but others do, and
they're all about stuff on this list. There are the occasional odd
songs on the lists, sure, but predominantly they're "IDM."
Even eBay auctions are predominantly "idm."
If I want IDM content, I come here.
If I want news and political commentary, I go somewhere else. If
there's going to be a world war, I'd hear about it first somewhere
other than the IDM list. If the IDM list is someone's only source to
the outside world, they have bigger problems than discussing politics.
