I feel some pretty dark, hard stuff coming out of the machines tonite once I patch in. fxckin pissed. I can't even listen to "can you feel it - fingers" right now. That's usually my inspiration if nothing else works. Feeling pretty pressurized. Feeling like making some techno.
On that note. I also wonder if allowing the anger and judgemental attitudes to take hold now (after 4 years of trying to remain calm and balanced) might be counterintuitive to our (de/reprogrammers) cause. Are these feelings an acceptable response to the situation or is this the reaction the programmers wanted? Can techno really make a difference? If so, will the nitelife laws act as a limiter on any power that techno posseses? Was this a calculated preemptive strike to dull the power of techno? Discuss? **clarification** not really asking for advice as much as trying to spark intelligent convo on the subject AND keep it somewhat on topic. Kamal K.
