this "guy" sure "likes" his "scare" "quotes". |

I copied the text and replaced "Aphex Twin" with "Wisp" Strictly for the lulz. RAMZY ALWAKEEL sure sounds like an anagram. |

personally i hated it. is there an unwritten rule that these sort of wearisome academic papers get extra marks for citing Deleuze and Guattari? It's like a stamp of scholastic caliber. not my thing, thanks. |

I was going to write my dissertation on some 'I'DM but I realised it was a rubbish subject and wrote it on the influence of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop instead. It was very satisfying but a pain in the arse. |

I went to the UNIVERSITY OF HULL (UK). It was ok, my campus was in SCABSBORUGHGHGH (UK) which was rubbish so I often went back to BIRMINGHAM (UK) |

IDM (according to Steve Albini): "As the idiom developed, the music became more and more about the novelty of certain sounds and treatments, ridiculously trivial aspects like tempo and choice of samples, and the public personae of the makers. It became a race to novelty. I find that kind of evolution beneath triviality. It is a decorative, not substantive, evolution." |

"ridiculously trivial aspects like tempo and choice of samples" is my favourite bit of that quote. |

Doing a dissertation on something you are interested in out of school sucks some of the fun out of it, no? |

I enjoyed mine. I read a lot more on the subject than I would have otherwise and got first hand interviews with a couple of people that were fascinating. My problem was that my argument was a little tenuous and that the whole thing comes off as one gigantic piece of cock sucking. |

yeah, it's a good way to approach folk that you'd otherwise have no good call to. i got to speak to curtis roads amongst others on mine. But yeah- ultimately formal education is the mind-killer. It is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. When the education is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Sorry. . . i was just watching dune again. |
