Well, seeing my name's on here, I'll answer in public to the list: I'm not looking to score points or to be cleverer than anybody else. The reason I'm on this list is because it's an excellent and informative forum discussing the music that I listen to. And That's It. I'm not a lurker - and maybe I'm too garrulous. My first post to the list was straight in at the deep end joining the merry fray about (gasp) vinlyl vs digital << forgive me >>. One important thing about the internet is that it is a great leveller in that as individuals we are free of societal stigmas adhering to issues like age, gender, religion, race, political persuation etc. We reveal as much as we want to reveal - it is quite possible to pretend to an alter ego and I *could* tell you I'm a 25 year old male and probably none of you would be any the wiser UNLESS I chose to divulge more about myself (which I see no reason to obfuscate). Yes, I know I hardly fit the demographic profile of this list. I'm a woman, what's more I'm a mother of two children and I live in a distant spot at the very bottom of the African continent. So what? My geographical location makes obtaining the music "we" love (globally speaking - since I consider all of you reading this as being of like mind) more difficult and thus I really appreciate being able to share my views and obtaining helpful comments from you (and tape trades - thanks to all of you I've benefitted from dealing with). Am I ugly? Or am I a foxy babe? :-) Well, if you're ever in South Africa, come on over and find out!

thanks for the well thought out post irene. two thoughts: i think i'd heard that south africa has a decent idm or at least techno scene, or maybe i'm just delirious. what _is_ the sort of median demographic here? from what i can guess, it's probably mid 20's, white male, relatively well off/uppermiddle class-ish. though i'm not sure, i'm just guessing from what little i know.

This sounds like a cheap radio promo to a seedy club's wet T-shirt contest or something:

If you were a car mechanic, youd probably have a few of those "Snap On Girls" calendars around your shop. Are you going to put together a "Girls of IDM calendar" with women bent over turntables and stuff? Is this the sort of conversation that the list wants taking up bandwidth? Personally it feels like normally intelligent conversation is turning into a Frat-party in Spring Break. ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircaft Systems Fort Worth, Texas

How about all the boyyys post their IQ's, flaccid penis lengths (in cm), and a photo of themselves naked doing the macarena and we'll have an online pageant for Mr. Intelligent Dance Music? You first, rod. Or, better yet, take this off-topic sexist crap back to the frat house. Sorry for the righteous streak, but every time the topic of "women in IDM" comes up many of you magically transform into complete assholes and you need to be electronically punched in the nose. I mean, what is this, 1950? "Ms. IDM"?!? -Cf

that would be hilarious...i'd buy one... np: disjecta "alum chime" btw, does anyone know whether disjecta's "clean pit and lid" is 33 or 45...it seems most lp's are 33's, but kracht is on the blech cd at 45 rpm...i like the 1st track at 33 though.

If it's any help, I've got it on CD (no vari-speed there) so if you like, I can attempt to describe how fast certain tracks sound and you can work it out from there... I *

It's 33 - it's speeded up a lot on Blechsdottir - once you're used to that it is difficult to adjust. adam
