RE: [microsound] fennesz & pita creative?

Even more scandalous:

I hear that he didn't invent the transistor!  Surely how can a musician
leave their mark on the music if they don't reinvent the wheel!  Music isn't
about music!  It's about politics!  It's about saying evil things about your
friends when they're not around!  It's about jealousy and snorting coke off
of a hooker's tits!  Oh wait... this is "glitch" music... thankfully we have
none of that here, right?

P.S. No offense intended to prostitutes or cocaine.  Also 'tits' is a
technical term for mammary glands.  Thanks.

I hear Fennesz bought all his Guitars from a shop. Apparently he didnt even
raise a finger during the manufacturing process, he doesnt even know how to
use
a hand-held sander!
