IDM Mailing Archive

While having a look through the July IDM archives to try and dig up some info (yes, at 3am...you never know when the urge will strike you) I came across this posted by Todd Roberts the editor or Urb:

Haha. Right on the money. Wonder how he even got a chance to look at the list, he's probably always so busy with those fashion spreads and dick sucking interviews with house dj's. BTW, another interesting bit, Greg mentioned that Rephlex and Boards of Canada were in negotiations. Hmmmm. Off to get some Zzzzzz.... _____ / ,-,_) /,_) (/ RESH Live & Direct from the G-Spot, Orange County, California, USA http://www1.linkonline.net/fresh/fresh.htm

At least Urb tries to give a comprehensive view of dance culture in all its aspects, a view that goes beyond discographies, release dates and X = RDJ / MP / Ae questions. And does a mighty fine job at that too... Otto OnNow: Teep's Squarepusher mixtape

I remember after that we pretty much housed the guy, albeit in a highly intelligent discourse. Then he came back with something lame like "Well at least I got you people to think." It was pretty pathetic. He wrote this because someone wrote an open letter to Tamara asking why the reviews were half-a-year old and maybe something along the lines that your magazine sucks also. She flamed him, and then chaos broke out on the list about this subject. Then at some point after Mr. Roberts broke in with the unsightly statement seen above, we all generally agreed that URB's review were untimely and the issue seemed to quickly died after that.
