...in your neighbourhood that are into electronic music? Are you off-line friends into electronic music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, and then no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

ive bring most of my friends to hear idm, coz i cant live without it... but last week i met the first person ever =) who was into it also... but hes more taking tracks on mp3s and so... and i know two girls who are slowly getting into it.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've gotten some of my friends into Aphex Twin, and Bogdan and stuff, but some of my friends hate IDM just for the sake being. And a girl I know liked Girl/Boy Song. She wanted ta know which cd and artist it belonged to. ^_^ She said that this was her kind of music, hehe. |
||||||||

only one... |

Well, apart from people I've met here and subsequently know in real life, not really. I know a few people who like quite a few IDM tracks, but you certainly wouldn't say they were fans of the genre. How about you Phob? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes... most of the people within my little social circle like or at least appreciate electronic music..even some girls! a few of my friends even make it themselves.. its as if we have our own little 'micro scene' and i suspect there are other people i dont really know who like it.. most of the kids who work at the local music store, for instance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No one I know in real life likes Autechre or Squarepusher or music that sounds like it.... :( They've probably never heard of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*counts* ... I know aboot 6 or 7 people who like it. Of these, only 3 of them are into as much as I am. |

"please wont you be my neighbor" ~what brought this topic on Phobiazero ? |
||||||||

I also met a coupla friends of pOgO who were trying to find oot where RDJ lived (quite near apparently)... stalking bitches :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, Jarwo, you've been RDJ-hunting? ^_^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*cocks his rifle* Got a problem with that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mwahaha, hey, man, next time you're out hunting, I'll tag along. *"Richie, where are you, Come to daddy ..."* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
my friends respect my music but aren't fans, I only know one other individual who is really into IDM and such. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hear a lot of trance playing from car stereos, if that counts as electronica, yarr.. Im the only one in about a 5 mile radius that listens to IDM, and let me point out that in LA thats a lot of damn people who dont. I only know of 2 other people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i am the only person in my neighborhood who likes this type of music. almost all of my offline friends listen to it as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah I always hear a lot of Venga Boys if that counts, I hope it doesn't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Thing is, how do you know that people aroond you don't listen to IDM? I was surprised when I found out some of the people I sort of knew listened to this shit. Some of em were office types (like me) and some of em were metallers (like me also). Fuck, RDJ could live round the corner of your street but if you never run into him you won't know he's there. Maybe if I went oot and met real people, I could find some more of them... *hugs his computer* |

My girlfriend... I transmitted my passion to her and now we listen AFX, SQUAREPUSHER, ASTROBOTNIA, & Co. together. (she isn't a maniac as me but she likes this music now) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have 2 admit,I'm crying out to meet other people who are *really* into this kinda stuff. They're there,but can I find them? The friends I do have,spit at the mere mention of BPM.....};> |

i have a friend at school. i didn't know him befire but one day, he came to me because i had a shirt on with the cd cover of icbyd, and he smilled and said: look! rdj... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's like 10 houses in my neighbourhood and only something like 5 people that could be into this-out of this 5 there are 3 that like some rdj stuff, but i wouldnt call that being into idm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Zero. Not that I know many people anyway, I'm a crazy loner eccentric, but I've talked to some of the bigger music fans at my college and they usually know Aphex Twin, but it's one thing to know an artist and another to be INTO an artist. I don't know anyone that's really into IDM, and there's not a trace of it anywhere. Only IDM album you can get here without a hassle is the RDJ Album, and the guy at Musicworld told me they had one copy of Drukqs sitting around for a while, I was the only buyer. I found that hard to believe. Closest thing would be some guy in my English class last year that was doodling a Kraftwerk logo in his notebook, and I asked him if he was into IDM, and I mentioned Autechre, and he didn't have a clue. That was depressing. |

my girlfriend has a cd I did to her: (dont remember the order) eyen - plaid 4 girl boy flim iz us pir - ae goon gumpas alberto balsam to win her love - leila windowlicker come on my selector - spusher (the piano pices from drukqs) track one peel sessions 2 - ae auttum acid - uziq and thats all she can listen of idm... and she is the only one around me that has really listened to it more than twice (cos I ve played idm in several parties I ve djed, and none of my friends have really showed any interest.... plaid is the group that they tolerate the most) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One guy at work who also makes music asked me what kind of music I made. I mentioned some of my influences and he knew about Ae, but that was it. I think most people around me are into Tenacious D. That is depressing. -P |

about 7 of my friends are into this stuff too.. its no suprise really- after one listen to, for instance, incunabula, i think you would have to have a hearing deficiency not to be hooked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill put a law which says, that anybody who listens to idm has to wear a sign of choice somewhere... special forces will come out to everyone who has this kind of shit on his harddrive or bought those records and make sure he wears it, controlling sometimes in the first period this law is approved. everybody who doesnt, loses one of his records...(to another registered idm-fan) i only know one person who likes this stuff and we dont meet often. in germany its even hard to find a breakbeat party.... damn shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some of my friends are into it, majority of my friends enjoy hip hop. But there are many who enjoy some electronic as well. |
||||||||

I'm pretty sure that im the only one in my village (2-3000 people) that owns more than one cd by mr richard. Once there was a little notice in the local newspapper about Aphex Twin releasing new material and i started laughing cos who the fuck else here listen to IDM.. Never met anyone. But i do have offline friends that like it, so im not all alone with my records =) |

I went to a school with the name malmo. |

i'm feeling lucky as fuck - my new g/friend likes aphex and i've given her µ-ziq's royal astronomy (which she likes) and jello- voile and drukqs . and i'm well chuffed! |

Off-line friends? What are they? I know a couple of people into electronic music, but don't really see them as much as I would like. I've also got a mate who's mainly into trance-type stuff and who I've recently introduced to Autechre. But that's it really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people that like werid arse music are pretty rare here, most people listen to "punk" or else, really really bad trance, quite iften if you do find people that like weird music in australia, they will go out of their way to meet up, I've had a guy from adelaide show up on my doorstep (Ryan Verner I think), a guy from perth (Sam Knight), another guy from perth (Forget his name), and a guy from victoria (also forget the name). so in a sense, IDM heads over here try and stick together |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My roommate diggs all the styles i like but apart from that its rare. My girlfriend likes chill stuff like BoC or Broadcast anything too repetive freaks her out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A couple of them do. I'm the most "into it" though. The others jsut have a couple of things. I've been trying to get my girlfriend into it but she's resisting so far. She does like Fantasia though off the Caustic Window compilation and a remix I've got og []pusher. Oh and digeridoo. She will turn though. :D |
||||||||

I dragged a whole heap of my friends into the IDM craze. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet and yes. although i saw some guy opening up a new bought copy of come to daddy a week ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the kinda electronic music people like here is commercial pop trance and house that they think is the best on earth and scoff at the idea of idm its pretty funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope. my friends hate the shit... they're all mostly into EMO-rock and indy stuff... very anti-electronic. but then again I do have some friends who enjoy industrial... but Im not really into industrial musik like i used to be. there was this girl though at HMV who LOVES it, i always go in there and talk to her for almost an hour about who we like, who we don't, who we hate and whatever... the girl of my dreams?? lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have one friend who's deep in, i gave him my venetian snares+autechre cd-rs... i know some people at school who listen, but i wouldn't call them friends this girl i like enjoyed a tape i made her, heavily made of idm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmm.... my closest friends (all overseas at the moment...) are definitely great music lovers. One likes Aphex Twin, BoC etc (i introduced them to her) but we both listen to heaps of different music. Not just electronica. Another who is just as obsessed with music as i am, listens to mostly garage rock, and obscure guitar stuff. It works well, sharing different music tastes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All my friends listens to some sort of electronic music. At least they like some tracks here & there. |
||||||||

and you open your psychic and you get inside. after finding out of layers, you just fly all over. there is no way of you getting involved in philatelic talking with some popfan group...cause you know infinity is not about exact zeros and ones. just a journey through my journal. of mindless science. relax i am just another VIEWER """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
people in real life? no... apart from from my little brother i lend some 7\ (RDJ album) to friends of mine, none of them hated it but that was all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe one or two... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know 2 people who like this music as much as I do...my other friends dont really care about it. I have met some people at school who have heard of Aphex but alway say stuff like outside violin whatever is a great song or the tetris remix is awesome... then I shake my head and walk away |
||||||||
|
|

this is some of the funniest shit i've read--more please! dolleater- are you saying the BB are from LA, or are you NYC? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
