Do you think he: a) Doesn't give a damn about the Internet. Probably has a PC at home, but only uses once in a while it for e-mail for contacting his buddies and record industry people. b) Uses the Internet pragmatically, for information search and dialogue (about synths, Spain holiday bookings, etc.), in a discreet manner. c) Spends a lot of time on the net, observes what people write about him, and posts on various message boards and such under various aliases. |

B couldnt be a, cause he has to use it to find out about new technology definately couldnt be c, because he doesnt care what people think of his music... thats just me =] |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well he does read the planet-mu boards from time to time (something i dont think most casual internet users would do, seems like a particularly internet-nerd thing to do imo ;-)). we have a confirmed Aphex semi-drunken rant analog vs digital post about 1 month ago. ill try to dig it up if i can |
||||||||

he's also said in interviews that he's been banned from forums on occasion. |
||||||||
|

i just couldnt see him looking at what people say about him he makes music for himself...hahah |
||||||||

"i just couldnt see him looking at what people say about him" you should ask Joyrex (the guy in charge of watmm) about that. apparently before Druqks was out, RDJ personally sent Joyrex a copy long before its actual release. Joyrex said the cd was "pretty good" and the rest is history. RDJ took the comments "pretty good" as an insult about the music and apparently they have never spoken since. I think he pretends he doesnt give a shit, but its more than likely a knee jerk reaction to how built up his image has been by the media. He says he doesnt shit to such an extreme that i think deep down he gives a big shit about what people think. |

I bet he keeps close tabs on how he's viewed. I'll bet he's a contrary fellow. |

" yes, it's one way to deal with pressure, wich one inevitably feels when constantly compared to a god, made out as a saviour etc. not just the press if you ask me. the guy has some of the most annoying fans in the world. |

I think he sealed his doom releasing "drukqs", if he'd just released some "good Aphex music" ok, but no, he creates the musical equivalent of The X-Files+Star Trek TNG + Magick The Gathering x Internet x at a time when the first generation of Internet teenies logged on and suddenly he's gathered around himself like a cloud of shit flies a globe's worth of fucking dweebs who think that bloody awful album is the be all and end all of music. |

I think the fact this thread even exists is proof you're on the money. We're speculating someones internet usage for fucks sake! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

this thread has ended up speculating on far more. how's the polution doing? i heard that i was getting better, though last time i came to visit when i blew my nose it was like being in mexico city. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

i'm not getting better |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they tend to be black though, right? a big lump of tar. mind you i was there briefly and mostly in the wrong areas i guess. it was just about the polution though, i have always had a great time there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes lots of lovely black tar bogeys. fast food and good for you. |

look up the interview where he talks about having to have self-discipline not to stuck checking your mails and your downloads constantly, and in the same answer he talks about how its difficult to get stuck doing music when you can be online. i cant find it, but its there. its a more recent interview, i guess in the past 6 years it was. |

to HmND: no you're not. i am. |

Let's have a competition. The one that survives is the real Aphex Twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his face is cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, what sort of competition? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The "Who can generate more hype about himself by talking crap in interviews" competition. Only true afx can do this right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's interesting, the obvious answer has been overlooked so long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone needs to interview us then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You are quite right. Anyone minds to do this? |

Name at least one pseudonym you have used to release music, but which is not known to be you. (You can provide more than one if you like). 1b. Name at least one psyeudonym you haven't used to release music. Or do anything at all with. 1c. (Optional) Swap the answers round for questions 1a & 1b. 2. How many types of material do you have lining your shoes (across your entire collection of shoes). 3. What the teet? 4. Tell everyone it's "heat". Maybe then they'll shut the fuck up about it. 5. I've got bored with this so just ramble on like internet. |

when you name a bunch of your tracks after viruses and malware i think you're pretty into the internetz. it seems almost contrary for people who make electronic music not to be interested in it. |

I still love the idea of him being logged in all the time but never posting anything. Like we all know (somehow) that he's reading everybody's posts, but with no response. How would it change the dynamic of the board? Would people insult him? Try to impress him? Spam him? Abuse him? It would drive everybody nuts. Mr D. James as a malign presense, hovering over everything. |

Still at uni 12 years too late? Maybe when you're 50 you can get an actual job. Yeah, I'm moving out with a mate soon into a one bedroom flat, using the living room as the second bedroom, it's a sweet scam to pay half the rent. |

he IS the internet. It makes perfect sense. |

Not 12 years late at all. I wanted to get my excessive drug-taking phase over and done with before I did something as serious as university. |
