when you compare the amount of people in hart plaza compared o the amount
of people who usually go to techno events, its safe to assume that what
you have in detroit is 300,000 posers.


In defense of others who get up at 4am for work and then go straight off to 
school a few nights a week and don't get home until 11pm (and are in their 
late 40s with sleep disorders to boot!) who may be in that number who do 
not regularly get out to techno events, I would say that's not a safe 
assumption. Some of us just can't be where it's happening. When we are, we 
do not become poseurs.

Am I the only Old Fart[tm] who realizes that this lyric should end with

"Sung to the tune of ``Part Time Punks'' by The Television Personalities"

???

(Loved that song ... such a great Punk send-up)

PART TIME Techno Heads
Walking down the Plaza
I see so many faces
They come from many places
They come down for the day

They walk around together
And try and look trendy
I think it's a shame
That they all look the same

Here they come
La la la la laaa la
La la la la laaa la
The part time Techno Heads
(repeat)

Then they go to Rough Trade
To buy Robert Hood
They heard Jeff Mills play it
Just the other night

They like to buy the 3 chair single
Or "Read About Richie"
But they're not pressed in red
So they but the Knights instead

Chorus

They play their records very loud
They pose in the bedroom
In front of the mirror
But only when their mum's gone out

They pay five cents on the buses
And they never use toothpaste
But they got twenty three fifty
To go and see the Timberlake tonight

Chorus

The Part-Time Techno Heads
The Part-Time Techno Heads
The Part-Time Techno Heads
Woo
