I consider electronica as short-hand for electronic music. I like that it's very broad, because it keeps people wondering what I'm talking about, so the discussion goes somewhere. Those who don't wonder, well, I'd probably rather not have a music conversation with them anyway. Me, I just dislike when someone sends to a mailing list an email that's marked with a request for a read-receipt. But that's just me. :P -adam John Goelzer wrote:
