Welllllllllllllllll you could get off your @##@ and do it yourself. This
kind of bitching doesn't fly unless you've been out there in the trenches.
The costs of bringing in a major tour like that often make it impossible to
bring. If you were out there talking to the bands and the promoters making
your case for this kind of music, then I could understand your being upset
enough to post about it. Get out there and get the financial backing and do
it yourself or talk to a promoter and give him your brilliant plan to bring
AUTECHRE over from England to CO and have more than 50 people show up.(not
saying that only 50 would show up) Don't rely on promoters to have taste, at
least not your taste.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP! you've really opened a can of worms
with this one. I don't know what kind of DJ's you have in CO, but in order
to get a crowd going, or keep them interested, you have to go way BEYOND
just putting "a needle on a record" When a DJ really gets going its an art
in itself, just check out JDJ by Coldcut that everyones been talking about
and let them school you.
Besides half of the IDM artists that you love have been DJ's or been
influenced by DJ's or have parents that are DJ's(joke)
Do you think for a second that these artists came up with these sounds
completely out of SPACE, even though there is all the spaced out imagery eh?
These artists were influenced by the mix it up style of DJ's from Brooklyn
to Detroit to London to Berlin. From the 70's on up. DJ's are the ones that
started dropping techno records or electro into their hiphop sets. The cut
and scratch style of Rap DJ's inspired many of today's standard techno
rhythms and jumpy sounds. Blah Blah Blah the history goes on, Not to mention
Jamaican Sound systems and DUB( which is practically what IDM Is)
Anyway I could go on but, my point is...
Turn some of that anger into the energy to create something yourself . Don't
let yourself be spoon fed by others. Kick the shitty DJ's out and rock out
yerself
and don't post another whine about your favorite band not coming to your
town. MOVE if you have to.
