this sucks
 

beLIEve from USA on 2002-01-08 22:21 [#00067455]



My town sucks, I am the only one in this place that has ever
even heard of Aphex Twin! Eveybody is saying things like
"linkin park is the best band ever" so I slap them and say
"your a fucking idiot, the only way you should ever say
something like that is if youve never heard of Aphex
Twin"... and of corse the reply is "Who's that?" And what's
even worse i cannot get my hands on any aphex twin stuff, no
CDs, no shirts, nothing... It's horrible, and on top off
that I dont have a credit card so I cant get it off the
computer. So I have taken desprate measures, ive written the
aphex twin symbol on a black shirt with bleach. Sad, isent
it? I have to get the music from the internet or else i
would never hear them. So if any Aphex Twin fans who live in
Rockford, Illionis contact me... I lost in a world without
Aphex twin...

i know what you mean, most of the kids i go to school
(college) with haven't a clue about afx, much less some of
his more "obscure" (pfft) peers. btw, don't you think linkin
park's "crawling" (during the verses, not the chorus) sounds
a little like afx? kinda reminds me of the SAW1 stuff. you
should tell them that, it wouldn't be lying.

anyway, here're 2 tips for acquiring afx cd's.
1. ask your local record store to ORDER the albums. they
will, and it's free. all of them except for "selected
ambient works 85-92" and "classics" (as well as some singles
and ep's but don't worry about them) are commercially
available in the US (and the 2 i mentioned will be available
in march). you'd have to wait a few days, maybe even a
couple weeks, but then you'd have them.
2. all the major online music retailers (cdnow, amazon, bn,
ebay) take MONEY ORDERS. no credit card needed. you just go
to your post office or seven-eleven and pay 40-90 cents plus
the amount the cd('s) cost and send it off to the business
or person you're buying it from. once they receive the
payment they'll ship it to you. quite easy. i did it for
YEARS before getting a visa checking (debit) card.

i hope this helped and never stop telling people about aphex
twin! you'll doubtless get converters if you just play them
some of the music you like. it's not for everyone, but i'm
sure some of your friends would like it as much as you do.
cheers!

haha, titty titty bang bang... that's funny...

but yeah, I order cds from my local record shop... I've been
waiting like two months for SAW 85-92 to come in... it'll
get here eventually... HOPEFULLY!!!! :)

that's strange because everytime i hear the name aphex twin
more and more often from people i'd never expect it.

i also get to hear a lot of Aphex twin's music as background
for many sort of promos. MTVla uses icct hedral (philip
glass one) for a celebrity deathmatch promo.

Make your own t-shirt without inhaling bleach fumes by
prinitng off images from web or cut out from mags & take to
a shop with t-shirt printing facilities. They should be able
to scan your images onto a t-shirt. Shouldn't cost too much
either, prob less than official merchandise.

Or use paint. My brother painted the plasticman logo onto a
baseball hat.

I have Kylie's face on my underpants..

OH MY GOD! Rockford?!
Sweet Jesus!
I'm sorry to hear that. i had to actually GO to rockford
once*shudders*, for buisness. I mean albsolutely no offense
to YOU by this, but rockford is a shithole man. i remember
the 90 minute(with NO traffic) drive from chicago. As soon
as you pass schaumburg on I-90 there are NO EXITS. for about
an hour.
When i finally got to your town, I was greeted quite rudely
by one of your hick officers, asking just what the hell i
was doing there.
And then, you dont know whether youre going to get shot by
the gangsta-G-money-thug-lifes or lynched by the rednecks.
BIZARRE!

Aphex? got a car? come down to chicago, where Aphex and all
other IDM flows like wine!
and bring lots of money, so you dont have to come back! we
dont like yer kind 'round these parts!
