Ashleigh and the Decline of Western Civilization

Stu dropped me an email that really got me thinking. Interestingly enough, it’s about my resent-and-bile filled review of the last Sasha album. I get alot of mail about that, sometimes more than all the other content on the site. Anyhow, on to Stu’s letter:

“While my subject line may tip you off concerning my intentions of this
email, may I say that while I don’t agree with your review of
Airdrawndagger, I still feel it is an excellent review. Your breadth of
knowledge concerning Electronica’s roots are very apparent. You mentioned
the transgendered Wendy Carlos and the decidedly non-techno Mouse on Mars.
Most of the ‘fans’ of electronic music view it as a fad, and are guilty
of not knowing electronica’s roots. People in the Punk scene know their
roots. People in the hip hop vein know their roots. Why can’t more fans
do their homework like you? (don’t answer that)”

Okay, Rule #1:Never ask me a question and append “don’t answer that.”
