terre thaemlitz was brought up in relation to gender (drews post, which i read at like 4am :) just wanted to let folks know that there is a pretty in depth article on him in the new wire. he is the cover story. i have not finished reading the article yet (it may be a little too in depth) -- but, for those of you who are not familiar with terre -- he deals quite a bit with gender issues and the denaturualization (is that the word he uses?) of gender in society by taking gender out of the normal context. the music terre writes, as he says, is a reflection of his perspective on gender -- that is, he is removing sounds from their normal context.. kinda like cross dressing with music. i dont know. figured folks might be interested. i personally find gender issues very interesting, but over generalizations very insulting.. so this is a love/hate thread for me. also, someone recently did an interview with wendy (windy?) carlos. is this transcribed anywhere? chris. .crz__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ music, four lunchpails: wednesdays 7-8pm kuci 88.9fm www.kuci.org "chicks dig laptops"

i was sorta thinking the same thing, but the cover photo doesnt really indicate he is a cross dresser.. in fact, it is very spin or rolling stone.. in a way, the photo reminds me of something i might see trent reznor or marilyn manson in :) kinda silly, but whatever, terre is an amazing artist IMO and deserves the good coverage. chris. .crz__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ music, four lunchpails: wednesdays 7-8pm kuci 88.9fm www.kuci.org "chicks dig laptops"

quoted 2 lines i wonder if he would have been on the cover if he wasn't cross

i don't see why not, after all, there's little of this 'selling point' evident on the cover shot. i should imagine the wire did the article on him becaue he can (shock, horror) talk articulately and in depth about the subjects at hand. and that's probably the reason why aphex (who is doing more or less the same thing image-wise at the moment, though in a more trite manner) isn't on the cover, because everyone knows he's totally crap at interviews.

quoted 1 line even the wire needs angles.

>even the wire needs angles.

heh, you've no room to talk! <waves>
