I agree 100%. And that is part of the thing that upsets me the most. I love electro, that's why I'm so damn pissed that a lot (and it's a lot) of groups and fans don't know who these people are nor care. Plus, they are being duped. It's hard to make the blanket statements I've been saying as older groups are getting lumped in. And they certainly weren't writing songs about their Beverly hills condo (do I need repost that audio file). The real shit is being re-written, that's what chaps my ass.

for the most part i don't really care for electro but some of the electroclash stuff that's pretty trendy right now is right up my alley... i think there's pretty vast differences between a lot of the newer stuff and the original (dare i say vintage?) stuff... i don't think electroclash threatens to displace electro's space in the annals of electronic music, so it's really nothing to get your panties in a bunch about. really, electroclash is just about having fun, being beautiful, doing lots of coke off of strippers' tits and driving fast. gregory ===== //the fawn// performing live at the lab in costa mesa 09/04/02//////?/ 0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+ glitchitty-poppy-catch-all-phrase- turning-indie-tech *from the people who put the sty in style __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
