Dear Iggy,
This is a good start, and with a little practice you can achive an even
higher level of IDM'ness. First, you should trade in Telekon for a copy
of Tin Drum by Japan, forget about the video games, if you want to be
ultra IDM you need to have short central-european experimental art films
that you downloaded from a pirate FTP server located somewhere in
Finland, playing in the background on your G4 macintosh's monitor, you
need to be laying on your bed reading Artbyte magazine or some
fashionable japanese design mag(you cannot read the copy, but that does
not matter because you only buy it to dig the graphic design) and you
are going to go out for Thai food and drinks in a little while after you
wind down from the day at your IT job.
Personally, could never be that IDM(I live in Michigan) but if you
really need a goal to strive for, this is a good guideline. Being
ultra-IDM is very hard work, and it is not a task for the weak. If you
think you have what it takes to be that hip I think you should go for
it!
Take care,
Mike Taylor
