I know that my love of electronic music stemmed directly from my research into the history of computing in school...Fleetwood Mac was kick ass and all, but it really caused a lot of cognitive dissonance when I was drooling over pictures of ENIACs and Manchester Marks. I was also able to come to terms with the fact that one of the reasons I go for more, well what I call...."Maximal" (as opposed to minimal) techno was because I like sick big nasty honkin mainframes. That's not to say I'm not still in therapy.
I like being nerdy...bring it on. I also like listening to techno in my spaceship. 20 days 'til my flight to Detroit and counting, Dina p.s. if for any reason you care: My top 1 list: Tok Tok vs. Soffy O "Missy Queen Must Die" remixes, especially the Smash TV and Martini Bros remixes. I wouldn't call it techno, but it makes me feel pretty techno. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mxyzptlk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2002 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [313] OT: I have one thing to say....maybe two. > Thanks for voicing exactly what I suspected and what I know is true in my > own attraction to electronic music in general. > I didn't want to say it for fear of overgeneralization - but I think it's a > legitimate and significant observation. > jeff > > > > At 12:51 PM 5/4/2002, you wrote: > >I would believe that alot of comic book/superhero fans are into Techno or > >may have played a role in the creation of Techno music because of the > >fantasy and romanticism of superheros and the pining for space travel and > >anything to do with Futurism.
