There was a similar thread about Aphex Twin, but I'm really curious about how rich Squarepusher is, and how popular he is overall. Is he a powerful asset for Warp?

I think everyone dislikes him now. I hardly ever listen. Pretty boring.

I think he's a wicked artist; very musical and a virtuoso in both programming and bass guitar/drums.
Anyway, that's not what this is about: is he popular? Or pretty obscure against artists like Aphex Twin?

Not sure where all this dislike is coming from, just because he pushed pomme? Crazy. Really liked Ultravisitor and Tundra and lookin forward to more myself!

well, he's my favourite warp idm artist now that i'm not that much into idm anymore...
and he's popular enough to be on the shelves at the electronic section of popular record stores.

He's fairly popular outside the typical electronic music circles because of his bass skills I think, many people I know who play in bands (they still exist, surprisingly enough) are aware of him but not Aphex, Autechre etc..

it's silly that people hate on things because they either don't understand or are jealous of their success.
disliking things and stating your opinion is one thing, but consistently replying to a topic about something you dislike just for the sake of wasting energy reflects greatly upon your personality.

I reckon he deserves all the popularity he gets-his music just sounds so confident and assured.
On a side point, is it true he was a heroin addict, or is that some made up rumour?

I'm not really concerned about how popular he is. I think he's kind of gone off in an odd direction lately. IMHO, Selection Sixteen was probably his final respectable work. Still, nothing tops Feed Me Weird Things, though the dub-style works from Music is Rotted One Note and Budakhan Mindphone are pretty nice too.

this is an urban legend now
" I met Squarepusher.
What A Fucking Asshole.
So, he played a show in my city last night. I saw him over by the bar standing by himself, so I thought, Oh cool, Tom Jenkinson, I'll go say hello.
So I went up to him and said, "Hi, just wanted to say I'm a big fan and I appreciate you coming here to play, looking foward to your set tonight". Then he said, "Yeah, thanks.." and shook my hand. I could tell he didn't want to be bothered or anything so I was about to just walk off, then I
remembered I had my camera with me, and I'd hate it if I didn't get an up-close and personal pic of Squarepusher, so I said, "Oh hey, do you mind if I take a quick picture please?" - holding out the camera.
He said, "no". Ok, so you're thinking like me, right? like 'no I don't mind'. So I hold up the camera to take a picture and he's all like "NOOO!" and pushes the camera away, then says,
"Fuck You!" then shoves me. As I'm being shoved by Squarepusher I say, "Well fuck you!" and pushed his extended
arm away from me, and stepped back into place right in front
of him (just a gut-reaction). Then he said, "I said no, I fucking mean, no!"
By this time everyone standing around us is staring. Everyone that can tell what's going on has the same look on their face as me, which is a combination wtf/lol face. So I'm looking around at all these other people who, understandably, can't believe what they're seeing, then I just snapped into it and realized how rediculous it was.
Then I laughed and said, "Jesus Christ, sorry asshole.." and
walked off."
