Electronic Music 101?
Otter asks: "iTunes comes with a sampler of MP3s selected to appeal to the Apple demographic. The one that really caught my attention was a track by Sasha and John Digweed, which has inspired me to learn a bit about electronic music. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who likes that stuff and my local Tower Records only has Moby (didn't like it),Paul Oakenfold (not bad) and 11,000 'Best of Ibiza' sets. What are the must-haves I should start with? What are the best online communities and places to learn about new artists? Feel free to define 'electronic' as broadly as seems appropriate." I used to shop at Homebass, but they just went out of business, which is sad, as they had one of the most comprehensive selection of electronica that I have ever seen, and most of their tracks had MP3 previews. If you were going to try and turn a friend on to Electronica, what artists, songs, or even specific mixed sets would you suggest? What online sources of electronica are still around.
Most popular music has a keyboard part that was generated on some kind of device with a CPU inside. And then there's all the post-processing. Really, electronic music is music. Once in a while you find an "unplugged" album, but it's probably been postprocessed through a digital mixing console.
No, please mod him up... while the song goatse may be terrible, dance of the sugar plum goatse is pure genius.

Are you fucking serious?
... to the "general /. public" is, search, search, and search ... move to the US. Go to a party in the desert. The new shit is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW. If you want to do IT, then do it. Otherwise, just chill, listen, and peace.
I have assloads of "electronica" that I would never-in-a-fucking-million-years trade to you because you're talking about "a good replacement hasn't really been decided on".
The MUSIC is in the FUCKING DANCE! It's not the distribution you FUCK!!!!
C'Mon! You're SO CLOSE!
*sigh* All, I'm trying to say
As my father lik@(munch munch)...
fuktrance... /. know anything about good music.
since when does
hey while your recompiling your kernal p.l.u.r ^_^
i think i am going to kill myself now
This is my favorite verse from the Eminem show:
A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this shit that shit
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards,
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie,
You 36 year old bald headed fag blow me
You don't know me, you're too old
Let go, it's over, nobody listens to techno
Now lets go, just give me the signal
I will be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes the shit just seems,
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this means I'm disgusting,
But its just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley,
To do Black Music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey)
There's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It'll be so empty without me
God, Eminem fucking RULES baby. I can't believe I didn't listen to this nigger sooner. He brings this pop rap shit home to the white niggers in the suburbs like me who want to go driving in our hoopties with the shit blaring. Fuck techno, it has no bass. Just some lame ass geek electronic screeches.
