post topic:
how many of you guys find yourself in a public situation and throw out (speak out in a loud voice) and start saying IDM artists etc and see if you get any "head turners" or ppl who recognize the name?
i kinda find it fun.
anyone else find themselves doing this? bait'n?

I like to yell autechre, preferably in crowded areas. Not only is it a funny word to yell, but you might even meet another moron!

my imitation of a mentally disabled person is a great way to draw attention too.

i used to do this on occasion... and i still wear my Aphex Pin on my bag... but these days i usually restrict these sorts of things to maybe holding a cd case in plain view... i think i mostly stopped because one of my friends does it all the time, and he has this real superiority complex about the whole goddamn thing, and he really knows shit about music anyway...

Naw... I don't have any band T-shirts, or pins, I never carry around CDs, I don't walk around with Venetian Snares boxers and make a point to wear saggy pants to show them off.
There was this one time in Celtic History class where I saw a guy drawing Aphex and Kraftwerk logos in his notebook, I talked to him for a few minutes. He didn't even know who Autechre was...
