I got into Techno in "93 totally by chance (I was looking for other
tunes in a Berkeley, California record store, and one of the guys there
turned me on to the Artificial Intelligence series, as well as a few
other things). I branched out to 313 stuff soon after that. You could
say that techno was my 40th birthday present....

Part of why I had Don on the show, is just that... to remember why it
was worth doing in the first place. When I started the Lx7 podcast I
thought it would be fun to share tracks... but some of my
listeners/viewers asked me if I would do a history of Techno show or
anything like that.
Which got me thinking that maybe some people don't know where all
this started. But instead of telling the same story that every one
knows about kraftwork and Juan etc.... I thought that having people
come on and talk about the music that got them (personally) into
techno would be more interesting. Cause in a way, no matter what we
listen to now,... the random and amazing tracks that got us into it
are much more interesting then a textbook history lesson.
So that has been the rational behind the interview shows I've been
doing on the podcast.

I think this is a valid comment and I'm not arguing with it. But to
give a comment / reason for it - with me it's probably because at
the time I'm looking back to I heard music that made me go "wow this
music is amazing, it's like nothing I've heard before, forget
everything else this is the FUTURE!!!" And I was totally dedicated
to this amazing new music. Unfortunately nothing
startling has happened since (and I don't mean there hasn't been any
good music since, there has been tons and there still is, just
nothing that makes me think there's a revolution going on like I did
then) so I end up being all nostalgic for 18 years ago even while
thinking I'm into futuristic music!
