Hmmm or was it that he heard your 'idea' of live improvisation and did the best he could to humor you while maintaining some level of dignity :)

and this don't exactly gel do they? learned quite a bit from the talentless did you? Why not be honest Brad and admit your true motivations for posting any of this, which are entirely personal. If Alex (and I) learned anything from you and your buddy 606 it's how not to treat your friends, especially after how generous Alex was in sharing his knowledge and talent with both of you. If Kid has arranged some press agents good for him, now maybe he can get off the phone for once and arrange to make some decent music that doesn't use all the same shit alex showed him 2 years ago. Propaganda only gets you so far, some of us have actually listened to the records. I realize this is getting a bit personal for general list consumption so I'll stop now, but it's hard to keep quiet when this is sort mudslinging is leveled at a friend. gnz. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
