Umm, no Clifford, he 'experimented' with tape loops and the like for as long
as necessary in order to make his glorious pop statements.  He hasn't done
much lately probably for lack of a recording contract.

Whats disappointing is how you're too self-absorbed to realize he obviously
likes the 'glitch' genre, and half of his descriptions of glitch artists
were as favorable as they were humorous.  I guess you stopped reading as
soon as you discovered he wasn't going to gush over Taylor Deupree.  If
anyone is 'bitter' its Mr. Deupree who can't get over the fact that Mr.
Ellard prefers Terre Thaemlitz to Taylor Deupree.

As for what he said about your stuff... one doesn't even need to listen to
your recordings to know you're heartless, reading your posts here pretty
much sums it up.

err, doesnt that classify as his 'poppier stuff'?  You need to get your
story straight, Clifford!!
