Yeah, I don't normally have a lot to say on here
but I'm with Jason/ Donna
there. I think it's both hilarious and sad that a
genre as young as IDM
already has as many cliches as good old
"rockinrolen" as Svin calls it ever
did. The Amen break's now the Bo Diddley riff of
electronic music, if y'all
know what I mean. There's too many people out
there making the electronic
equivalent of the Steve Miller Band (read:
coservative,
middle-of-the-road...) and/ or the soundtrack to
the imaginary movie up
their arses. "Sophisticated" to him maybe; so
often bores me to tears. I
respect Boards Of Canada and that kind of thing
even if I don't particularly
like it, but not all those BOC imitators. And the
only truly exciting/
interesting music comes from people like Donna
Summer and others like him
who have a broad appreciation of all kinds of
music (including
"rockinrolen") and record collections that
stretch back further than the
last twelve or so years. I think it's
particularly funny/ ironic that I'm
reading this post now, considering my copy of the
new Donna Summer 7" (with
its David Bowie/ Iggy Pop track; two legends of
"rockinrolen") just arrived
in the mail today and not surprisingly it's
brilliant.

The Northgate Music Festival College Station,
Texas is an 11 venue event
featuring over 150 bands and estimates 10,000
attendees over a three day
period. The Festival has included a DJ/live PA
stage for at least the past
five years to my knowledge. I am a live PA
performer that was scheduled to
play a live electronic music act Saturday March
27th 2004. On thursday I
was called by the stage manager and informed that
the TABC (Texas Alcholic
Beverage Commission) had called both the venue
and the festival promoter and
discouraged from allowing the DJ stage to take
place.
