[microsound] wrong kiosk

[Arelar33@xxxxxxx]

Speaking only for myself I have to say that the playlists and promos are 
dull, but easily dealt with. Some of the 'philosphical discussion' though, is much 
harder to bear, it takes me a good four minutes or so before I realise that 
it is yet another competition entry in the endless quest to write the longest 
most 'referential' (read erudite) post in any particular thread. I guess it is 
hard to find some kind of middle ground that suits everybody. It's good to be 
informed about what people are doing, what is being released, what people 
think. Its just as dull to read about how clever some of us are as it is to read 
about what everybody is listening to. Reading some of those playlists makes me 
laugh...come on, really, doesn't anybody listen to anything outside of the 
remit of this list? It's excruciating sometimes! I hope Im not offending anybody 
here, but one thing that I dont ever seem to feel from most of the posting is 
Fun. I am not inspired or encouraged by displays of intellectual brilliance, 
but I am moved by people's passions and enjoyment.
I have been here from the start (I think) and I seem to notice that as our 
particular field of endeavour has crept ever closer to the mainstream, we seem 
to have become quieter. For me, this is just one aspect of my creative output 
and I would hate to be pigeon holed as a 'microsound' composer (or whatever 
label we have). At the end of the day, this is stuff that I want to listen to and 
create, not read about. And if I really do want to read about it, I will get 
a book.
in peace
Rob
