If you need Bjork to tell you what artists to listen to, well what can I say? Maybe you should start paying more attention to the list, we talk about loads of good music and interesting artists daily...long before bjork ever gets round to them - believe.

hehe. Are you having a hard time realizing we don't all share your idm experience? Just because you needed a bjork record to get you into plaid doesn't mean everyone else did.

Yes, that's exactly what I am. Please worship me.

I love it :) Taking what is a friendly discussion about music down to the level of personal attacks is always appreciated. Keep up the good work. Anyhow, you try talking to english geezers all day in email and see if you don't start talking like them, mate. cheerio, fresh. (btw, I accidently called Brock 'Bjork' yesterday on the phone. hehe. Does everyone know the next public space will feature live performances from DJ Spooky and Scanner? Price $10 at the Troubador. I forget the date.)
