werd werd you have hit the nail on the head. i go to parties about once a month to see the artist, but i have to confess, most ppl don't. seein as how i go clean, not for pill poppin, -- and go to dance and see ltj bukem or dj hype or mickey finn or any other jungle dj i like - that makes me quite different from a decent number of party kids. on the other hand: when i saw dj spooky (dunno if you'd consider him idm but file under futurism i think is totally idm) a few wks ago, i was quite disappointed cuz the show was so disjointed and he just basically was cuttin and droppin too much for ANYONE to be able to dance to his stuff. i dunno when i go to a show i like to have somethin to do with my body... erica --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
