i find this a rather strange comment. isnt it more important that they can sift out the good from the bad instead of discovering through a "starter" group? i certainly didnt start listening to jega or boards of canada without a long journey starting with 808 state, altern8, etc. the key is to be able to realize that green day is not doing something all that new and to do the research to understand how they got there. unrelated note- the new farmers manual (fsck) is excellent. like oval meets squarepusher in parts. highly recommended. c
