Now that I've read this by itself, I have more to say:

What would you like this list to be gabbing about?
Make some suggestions.

Yikes.
Well, if it's such inferior music, Jamie, then what sort of music is it that
you're into? Examples? What is it called, or 'labeled'? Breakbeat by chance?
Autechre "all loops with lots of effects" my ass! Oh, you must listen to
Classical... Well, this isn't the right email list for that.

Go ahead! Why don't YOU impress US with whatever knowledge of music that you
listen to? It seems that all this is list is about is schlock artists and
their uncomplex music put out on crud labels, according to you...
SO..Why don't you share with us the REAL DEAL? What are we missing out on?
You make it sound as though there is far more superior music out there, and
I'd be really interested in hearing about it!
You're on this list for SOME reason, why not share with us? Seriously.
