Interesting thread, although, I'm not certain that people on this list 
would appreciate it if their cds actually skipped.

In many cases, it is difficult to align 'glitch aesthetics' with a 
political or philosophical position precisely because the foregrounded 
errors are presented only on the level of representation. The errors are 
already reterritorialized, so to speak. Somewhat like 'dirty denim'. 
Rather than allowing for decay, entropy, flux, etc. in the actual object 
these devaluations are actually rarified valuations that must be 
preserved in their original state. Representation and technology remain 
undisrupted.

Order/rationality vs. chaos/error: another false binary!
