Bah! Everytime I go to a fuckin' event and they bust out funky breaks
or groovy beats, most of the suckerz are just sitting there, holdin' their
unshaved chins, nodding contemplatively, like they're all intellectual an'
shit. I imagine they're thinking some bullshit along the lines as "I say,
dear chap, quite thrilling use of the filters and resonance effects, don't
you say? oh-ha, oh-ha." Man....fuck that! Like the last time I saw Plaid
in Berkeley...half the fuckers were standing around watching the blokes
twiddle knobz for god's sake! (alright, I admit I was checking out tha
gear too at various points). Jesus...why do we call this list IDM? Nobody
ever dances! Shit, it should be called INM "Intelligent Nodding Music"
