the hollies - he ain't heavy, he's my brother
on a sidenote, it's been a little over a year of me being on this list.
it's been a long time but now i can finally say that i know of most of
the things being discussed here and i didn't have to spend thousands
(although i spent hundreds on vinyl). thanks all for the info,
recommendations, and general knowledge.
i first got into electronica when a friend bought daft punk and i bought
wu-tang. i threw away wu-tang and bought daft punk the next day
(although a year later, i had a joyous reunion with wu-tang forever)
from daft punk, i listened to orbital. i liked them so much, i decided
to go on the internet to research and whatnot. i came upon the loop
crematory page where i first heard plastikman. they were some loops
from sheet one. a month or two later, when i was in the states for our
grade nine renaissance festival in minnesota, i bought sheet one from
sam goodie's or something. after sitting next to the pool in a
lawnchair type thing in the hotel in some vicodin-accelerated impulse
shopping clothing (including wearing a black and yellow checkered hat) i
fell in love listening to track 3 (what's it called again) over and over
again. then a friend let me listen to the amp cd, heard aphex, the rest
is history. that's why i'm somewhat hesistant to bash the larger music
corporations. i mean, lots of people can end up going from daft punk
(even though they still are quite good) to proem. that's not bad for
our culture. experimental electronic music is a gift. anyone else have
stories of first falling in love?
i'm drunk
