Maybe, maybe not. Nothings perfect. Fact is everyone has an
equal chance. Majority of honours are given to people that
nobody has heard of so you know the high profile honours are
there just to give it some profile really.

so it's beacause they deserve it more that rock stars...ok,
but you previously said that they should get it because they
brought joy to so many people. now, im pretty sure those
rock stars brought joy to a whole lot more people...
i wouldn't mine seeing aphex or any other being knighted, i
just don't see any sense in that

You know people who are just interested in titles make me
puke, it is exceptionally shallow if that is their chief
motivation. That said there are a lot of people around who
like to have this or that title and I'm not just talking
about honours and they just like to feel important without
having any agenda or really wanting to do anything. That
kinda of individual bores me intensly but you know I accept
them because you know its only human nature.

tolstoyed,

Well there is also the criteria of somebody doing something
revolutionary and you see Aphex excels there, at least thats
what I think.

Hell I'm not stuck on Aphex it could be anyone else its just
a question of reality as to how realistic a chance he would
have of receiving an honour compared to other artists.

but imo, it's better to be appreciated by someone that
understands music, rather than someone who's only criteria
is popularity. as im not british i don't know what honour
that is for you guys, but in my eyes it wouldn't mean
anything if someone get's it for making music...

How it works is Joe public nominated xyz and then they have
a Commissioner who creates a shortlist and then they study
each nominee on its merits, something like that.

But Richard exagerates underground music making it
accesible, it's old music with present expensive
technology, he hasn't done anything new for four years at
least!

No, they weren't. They where distorted wank. They weren't
even tracks just shit on plastic, like scraping up dog much
off your shoe with a credit card.

and half a bottle of vodka or something left before sleep.

maybe aphex airlines was a precursor now i think about it.

yes, they were shit, but bar AA and that track from drukqs
that sounded like someone chucking tin trays down a stairs,
they were something new for dick
