RE: [microsound] pop will eat itself (and Moby too)

[Philip Sherburne <psherburne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

unfortunately, Goldberg is a talented writer but in my opinion a terrible
critic of "electronic music." she's been writing about it (at least, the
poppy side) for years, but she continually relies upon the old straw man to
prop up her argument: Moby (or the Chem Bros, or whatever) is good because
electronic music is dead. the pop star wriggles out of the cul de sacs that
befell the experimentalists. of course, she offers no evidence, not even a
suggestion. say what you will about the state of the various subgenres of
dance music and "experimental" electronic music, but to write them off as
dead w/o offering any further evidence is just plain lazy. i don't get the
sense that she actually listens to anything besides the major label product
that lands on her desk.
