I saw Smashing Pumpkins\'s last Vancouver show last summer at Summersault Festival...I Care Because You Do was played in full before they came onstage! I had no idea that they did this at other tour stops! Cool! I.C.B.Y.D is masterful work.....t\'was the first Aphex Twin I ever bought. The shitty thing is that Aphex Twin\'s more obscure releases are hard to find here. I have found some on vinyl at various places, but they want a bleedin\' fortune for them! ARGH! -peace ya\'ll!

Ross: ah, every generation has their "golden age" of music, eh? that's why nostalgia exists tho, i guess. you'll be able to impart your wisdom of many years to your children and they'll be listening to your tales with wide eyes and hopefully open ears.
i'll be like to the youngsters in the future:
"damnit, in MY day, we had REAL bubblegum pop... like Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys! REAL humans singing and dancing on stage -- not this quasi-Idoru* crap!"
but seriously, i'm more of an Christina Aguilera and S Club 7 person. :)
*see Japanese culture and William Gibson

Ross: totally, man!!!
i absolutely agree. like for me, it's always been about diversity... simply put, we *like* the music that we *like* and it's a matter of personal preference that makes us beautifully unique as individuals. i honestly can't stand the arrogant snobbery that sometimes rears its head as IDM chinstroking. it's very narrowminded and sort of a musical racism in that it segregates the spectrum. sure, one doesn't have to like everything, but i see no good reason for prejudice and intolerance either :).
do you listen to NIN at all? i like both Trent and Tori very much. some of my fave Tori songs include "Spark" and "Professional Window" (the Armand Van Helden remixes too!)... oh, and "Caught A Lite Sneeze"! the two of them are good friends in real life, aren't they? if so, it's interesting that they can be so close despite the way they artistically express themselves about topics like rape -- obviously, Mr. Reznor is not a real rapist nor advocates violence against women but some people read too literally into the lyrics :P. Tori Amos has real courage and strength, i admire her and i think her piano playing is great too.

thats awesome man, i dont think trent and tori are very good friends, Trent was asked a few months ago whether he'd do another collab. with Tori and he said he'd love to, but she might not feel the same..they did live together while Tori recorded Under the Pink, maybe something has went wrong in the past, we may never know....I love past the mission, it's just a wicked song, I also like the new placebo song, ive never really been into them, but the synth line reminds me of depeche mode or good 80s synthpop bands..

i heard Trent's song on rape on downward spiral was against rape, but from the perspective of someone that did it..what's the song's name..i forget..I like Nin, i borrowed the fragile from a friend and loved it, my personal fav. song ive heard is a warm place

i visited your site, i also make music, but ive never bothered to put it on mp3.com or anything, it sounds bizarre, but i use fruityloops, a keyboard sometimes, and little things i can find for sampling and such and make music, the most recent cd ive made is tons better than the stuff i made last summer, and over the years (this also will sound add) ive learned how to use sound recorder (the crappy program) to my advantage...

I also of course use samples i have on my hd, but i edit them and make them sound totally unlike the original, sampling is original when you can warp it into something that you would never knew what it was in the first place, I like your do it yourself ethic, i personally love working on music, it's such an experimental process, plus im really into stereo effects, making an awesome headphone cd

Ross: oh that's neat! wow we are posting quite a bit, aren't we? sounds like you are definitely passionate about both listening and making music. thanks for visiting my site -- i am doing some things now involving granular synthesis and other wacky technical terms but in a different sort of context than, say, the way Autechre deconstructs sonic sculptures.
i appreciate sampling both ways -- it's neat to spot things that are more-or-less recognizable, even in a DJ Shadow context, but to make your things your warped own is great too. DIY has definitely empowered "bedroom" producers like us! maybe you should consider posting your music up for all of us here to hear, it certainly sounds like you are doing well.
take care, i'm off now ;)!
