Out here in metro Phoenix, it seems that NO ONE knows what techno is. I listen to it all day in the office (along with some good deep house mixes) and listen to ghettotech and electro in the car around town. One of my co-workers described it as sounding like "little ants marching" (I was listening to "Rekall" on my laptop speakers) and another described it as "that music that's on all of the car commercials nowadays".
I find that listening to techno is probably the one thing that keeps me grounded in Detroit. > > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2004/06/15 Tue AM 08:24:51 EDT > To: 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: (313) you listen to techno? > > > ...just started working with my current employer about a month ago. desk > job, cubicle, plenty o' coffee. anyway, there's a fairly relaxed policy > towards music in cubicles. as a result, i spend most of my 8hrs. with great > house and techno pumpin' out of my little PC speakers. naturally, this being > suburban america, i am the only commuter listening to the music of this list > for about 60 miles in all directions. > i get my fair share of raised eyebrows and cheeky comments from co-workers > that are not familiar with my "weird bass music". i'm all alone in a sea of > alarmist talk radio, and toby keith anthems. i'm just curious if any other > list-members are immersed in a similar environment. > > cheers, > lrh > >
