Great job, but you got some points taken off for the "overly sterile to the point of sounding like satire of elitists who over intellectualize a bunch of queer noises" mood you've given this piece. you need to work on "humanizing" your work so that the dumb kids don't giggle or get angry at you. you get a B+, though, mostly based on effort. Next week's assignment: a 3 page essay on one of the following topics: (1) How does the music of Aphex Twin figuratively represent the dillemma of the monkey's choice of the cloth mother and the wire mother?, (2) Compare/Contrast the need for an "Andy + Ed vs. Ken" debate (as shown by that thread's continued spawning on this list) with the need for a "Owen Heart vs. Jason Sensation" debate (as shown by the continued purposeless appearances of Jason Sensation on WWF Raw is War) or (3) Why has it taken the musicians and fans of IDM to publicly state that mullets are just ridiculous? rjck,phd. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

what's wrong with being elite? the sterility part's a no-brainer though. since autechre has that down in spades, it makes sense that their music would be described in that manner.

Whether you liked it or not, Alex's essay/dissertation/series of subjective imagery/"review" DID stir up some conversation on this list, which has been dead as of late. And yes, Jason Sensation DOES have a purpose. I just don't know what it is yet. --Geoff

Ohhhh can't you lads just stop all this vitriol, leave the poor lad alone you big bullies! Everyone expresses themselves in their own ways and if you criticise a person for their own writing stylee, then you might intimidate them from ever proffering up an interesting, stimulating thought in the future and that would be our loss. and I'm just gonna die of boredom reading this list if I see one more blinkin Autechre posting!

let's try a little bit of situationist 'detournement.' to wit: "if you've got to come up with *tracks* full of pretentious drivel using the most complex of *sounds* to show off what a bright cunt you think you are then you're not only an asshole, but you're completely missing the point of *writing* in general." doesn't work too well the other way around, does it? wonder why... peace/out sr -- sd wells wrote:
