laptop ethics...

>i don't understand this.....i'm seeing more and more people complaining
>about 'laptop performers' and the more recent computer orientated sound
>creations in derogatory terms...

there's a difference between creating music with computers and perfoming
music with computers...  
I am always very pissed off to pay money for a concert (not a rave or a dj
party, but a concert) and sit there to watch someone flip open a powerbook
and press the space bar in a program like protools or soundedit16...  <and
rock on...>  
that makes me want to kotz...

with so many programs like bigeye and max and shit like that why can't
anybody come up with an interesting way of performing their tracks?  isn't
it true that trent reznor's first record was written with a sequencer which
he then gave the tracks to a group of talented young (sexy) ladies to play
live?  [or am I horribly mistaken?]  now that's something to pay money for,
not to watch the back side of a lombardo...

a cool track is a cool track regardless of how it was made.
