Ooh ouch ow eek



Yup, yup, when "Switched-On Bach" was released, he was Walter, later he became she, Wendy. I don't know how much that sort of thing costs. I never thought about how much pain it might cause my bankbook.
 
You're right, The Chemical Brothers! They're incredibly popular in trance/jungle/tekno/industrial music circles. They're not my cup of tea, but it's easy to find tens of thousands of kids who go nuts over them.
 
Should I open a can of worms and point out that there seems to be a high correlation between people who love trance/jungle/tekno/industrial music, and people who love to take the drug ecstacy (MDMA)? Can a raver enjoy the same love of The Chemical Brothers without The Chemical?
 
My beef with trance/jungle/tekno/industrial is that it's what happened when Disco met Electronic Music and had a baby. There's still an awful lot of unmistakable Disco in trance/jungle/tekno/industrial. Oh ... and Disco sux.
