Hmmm. Hopefully I just don't quite understand what the phrase
"trolling for flames" means, but I figure I should respond to this
somehow. I'm rather certain that if AFX wrote windowlicker to be a
"pop" song (as I have variously heard attributed to him), the
cut'n'paste photo just supports his critique of the ways in which pop
music is packaged and sold. I wouldn't so much say that it's shock
value as mockery of the whole music-selling machine of videos,
magazines, etc. What does he "resort" to in order to pander his
music? Tits and ass, all over the video and press materials, and
it's a rather funny send up in my opinion. Although I don't know him
personally, I'm almost positive it has absolutely nothing to do with
Jordana and Wendy. He's doing his things for art's sake and comment
on the music industry - they're doing it to live. And why in the
world is gender reassignment surgery something to be mocked?
Also in my opinion it's rather strange for someone to obsess so
much about how two different individuals in two different generations
of electronic music both needed to undergo gender reassignment
procedures. Sit down on my big leather couch - now, tell, me: why
does this bother you? Why did you so quickly link an obviously fake
photo with the real life struggles and successes of two people who
needed to have gender reassignment procedures? Now, tell me about
your mother....
For my part, I'm glad that Jordana has had the procedures done -
I'd much rather have her be herself and making rather good music than
attempting more suicides until she finally succeeds. I don't know
much about Wendy Carlos' situation, but I'm sure that it was
similarly urgent - doctors don't allow people to have those sorts of
procedures done on a whim, you know.
Okay, I've spent my $0.02 on this, so I'll be quiet now.

neighbors take a shower. If I could somehow get chorus and dub delay
on the transit sounds outside, this would be one stellar ambient
piece!

i wuz listening to the ClockworkOrange soundtrack the other day and a friend
of mine and I got into a conversation about these three...why is Aphex cut
and pasting titties on his bod??? is it to mock the sexual reorientation of
the latter(187/wendycarlos) or is it just out of pure shock value??? is this
a trend of the more popular Electronic musicians of today??? is Richie trying
to become a rachel or a ranma??? WHAT THE FUCK???
you're gonna be a bad motherfucker
