Wednesday, June 05, 2002, 9:19:12 AM, a knob was tweaked and out came: IC> Embrace everything without prejudice :0)
My love is earned, not automatic. I have never lived in a world where PLUR seemed like an intelligent approach to life. The universe envisioned by its adherents is devoid of competition, value, perseverance . . . love is so evenly distributed that it becomes meaningless. A world in which everything is embraced is a world in which nothing excels. "So the kids take a pill to feel the funk and the DJ takes a pill to feel the funk. I don't take a pill to feel the funk. Carl don't take a pill to feel the funk. Glenn Underground don't take a pill to feel the funk. Derrick Carter might take a pill for fun, but not to feel the funk." - D. May So pop a pill, and pretend that the latest Minus is intensely engaging, but don't expect me to embrace that. My techno isn't about turning your brain off. I don't think Juan's or Carl's or Derrick's or Shake's is either. I can appreciate a few of Hawtin's records, but I strongly suspect that the majority of his fan base is pretending to "get it" in an attempt to look smart, the same way I did when I first heard him in high school. The same way Picasso's ardent admirers do. Most of the time, there's nothing to get. ------------- Brian "balistic" Prince http://www.bprince.com - art and techno Strokes of Defiance EP . . . soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
