hey, and they could use a jug to get those sub-bass samples :) actually the whole unplugged premise was to use acoustic instruments, not necessarily unpowered - cos the amps needed to be plugged in, along with the mics, and the lights, and such. so it could work. they just wouldn't be able to use, say, a laptop :) although "today's hottest electronica acts" doesn't sound too promising anyways... cheers, \derek ----------- "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

mtv is full of shit. they claim to promote civil rights for gays and lesbians and then parade eminem on their awards show, in the name of "letting everyone express differing viewpoints". it's all about the fucking money to these corporate stooges. corporations marginalize political and social dissidence into market share. it's a damn shame. amp got killed because the audience wasn't profitable enough. no teeny boppers into it. i'm sure when electronica reaches critical mass and starts hitting charts in the u.s., we'll see mtv bring in tomorrow's brand name electric acts so that they can express their "viewpoints". my five cents of utter, bitter disgust, alex -- Alex Reynolds SAS Computing / Biology University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6228 V +1 215 573.2818 / F +1 215 898.8780 http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~reynolda/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
