(sort of) OT: The Wire Drinking Game

[Philip Sherburne <philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For anyone not on Aquarius Records' weekly mailout, I thought you might get
a kick out of the following (and as it uses the word "glitch," it's not
entirely off-topic):

      "THE WIRE Drinking Game: 
       Fill up your pint glass. Open your copy of the WIRE and start play. 

       EUR   Every mention of WIRE favourites Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, 
       Anthony Braxton or John Zorn. ONE FINGER 
       EUR   Every mention of Scanner, Phillip Jeck, Otomo Yoshihide, 
       Terre Thaemlitz, Coil, Charles Gayle, Ryoji Ikeda or Kid 606. TWO
FINGERS 
       EUR   Every mention of the words 'improv', 'hermetic', 'laptop',
'glitch', 
       'installation' or 'Jim O'Rourke'. ONE FINGER 
       EUR   Every Merzbow or Muslimguaze CD reviewed. ONE FINGER 
       EUR   Thurston Moore does something 'jazz'. THREE FINGERS 
       EUR   Bill Laswell attempts to fuse another genre of music with his 
       trademark global funk brew. TWO FINGERS 
       EUR   Every artist or label with unpronounceable punctuation in 
its name. TWO FINGERS 
       EUR   Whenever a reviewer pretends to like a CD of total silence 
in an attempt to 
       disguise his rage at being ripped off.  ONE FINGER 
       EUR   Any record you can bear listening to more than once that is 
not dismissed 
       as 'whimsical'. DOWN ALL BOOZE IN THE HOUSE AND GO STRAIGHT TO BED"
