Good job of kissing ass, Slick, not to mention furthering the innate
parochialism and pedestal-building in your "scene". Considering your daddy
T1000's inane stance on the difficulty of fathoming someone gaining interest
in techno from a hip-hop background (like many people who are true music
lovers rather than pedestrian music consumers, I personally got into both at
the same time), you would both do well to follow the advice contained in
your last sentence (unless you really are the yipping poodle that you seem
to be). Also, for Mr. Superstar DJ his own self, in regards to this album
of yours which is selling like hotcakes in Europe, that continent's
collective dodgy taste in music just demonstrates how shit your tunes are,
and my friend if sufficiently irritated by that album ("Nuttin' but Presets"
I believe it's called...sounds like it anyways) that he wants him money
back. There is a definite difference between popular music and good music.
Keep your cookie cutters out of the studio and leave the making of music to
those who can. Fucking nerds...
