well, ive done it (sort of) i (think) im starting to get 2 people into good electronic music CASE #1: this guy is a big radiohead fan... and hes just BARELY heard of aphex twin (recognised the name, but thats it) so ive discussed music w/ him a lot in the past he likes PROPELLERHEADS as electronic music then, last week, i leant him the RDJ album (i figured it would be a good place to start) i haven't had a chance to discuss it in depth yet, but so far, he said he likes it (some songs more than others) hm.. so ill have to see what he liked and didn't, and adjust the dossage (hehe) of electronica from there, to get him completely addicted! |

yeah I lent one of my friends some Aphex Twin, and Autechre... he said he thought the Aphex Twin was alright, it was I Care Because You Do, but I don't think he liked the Autechre too much... it was Chiastic Slide... |

I feel it, man. I am experiencing a great thing these days, since my brother is getting very much into my favorite band, the pat metheny group. He "gets" it now, and we will speak to each other and point out a certain part of a song, and we both just get excited talking about that one or two seconds in that song. cool. But in the end, it's just YOU who is really into the music. I mean, when you are deeply into the groove and all that exists is the music for you, then it makes no difference who else likes it. Nothing makes any difference anymore. You are so into the music that nothing else matters, at least that's how I get when I am intensely in the moment of hearing my favorite tunes. |

ya, i know what u mean when im listening and enjoying music, i dont care about other people liking it its just for me but, unfortunately, the other hours of the day, when i have to put up with other humans..... i cant discuss this thing that i am SO interested in..... MUCH more so than sports, or the weather, or which girl is hotter (well... maybe not more than which girl is hotter;) no, just kidding :) |

MATT CHAN my best friend in a pop/punk/emo/core band is now an addict! he is able to appreciate music for the artistic creative talented aspect of it. when i first got MTV's AMP (that was the first i heard RDJ anything) i played him boy/girl song, they way RDJ bends the cymbals is fucking....like whoa! so i slowly tried to get him to hear it but he said it sounded too much like utter trash and noise. i continued my pursuit and just recently well about a year ago i got an import with some more straight ahead style shit and was like you gotta like this man and he was all i can see the light now! he said that before he didn't like it because he couldn't perdict what he would hear next. he said you just kinda have to listen to it like what i'm about to hear makes no sense and then it makes sense. so i made him two kinda sample intro cds. one has ambient more mellow stuff like 1-6 of SAW and 1st track from afx ab1 and 2nd track from afx ab4 and some shit off the import like pac man, let my fish loose, at the heart of it all and spotlight. the other has the more harder shiznick like windowlicker, equation and nannou. ctd, bbb, flim, iz-us, track 3 and track 7. and track 10 from afx ab3. i just loaned him ICBYD and POLYGON WINDOW. |

goddamnit..... ive FAILED!!!! (at least partially) the guy..... (in case #1) said it was ok.. JUST ok! he said electronic is alright when ur stoned or something... otherwise its too boring.. (this guy doesn't do drugs, so im pretty sure he meant it in a derrogitory way!) apparently, he only likes 'lighter, funnier' electronic music... (like kid koala).. he cant take it seriously as serious music pffffftt... i mean, kid koalas alright... but i dont see how u cant at least see that it can be serious and also very good... oh well, ill just have to crucify him (btw: case#2 is still proceding nicely) |
