Uh, Lee, isn't IDM supposed to be a music discussion forum? I didn't find
the criticisms of Squarepusher TOO heavy, it's not like James was making
fun of Squarepushers' looks or a handicapped friend of his or anything.
Sorry, but I'd rather read this kind of discussion much more than what
IDMers are wearing (now THAT was an offensive forum!) :)
Plus, I thought your implications that James' MP3s were probably crap were
the meanest thing in this discussion...

Check my crappy MP3s as part of Alien Radio Station at

Plus, look for my lousy band, The Fantastic Four, on 'Ambient Systems:
Limited Edition' on Instinct Records
