say what you like about third but he is undeniably a scholar.
and his music taste, by ditching notions like cool and good taste,
made everyone elses look conservative overnight. he mounted a
kind of putsch in that sense in which he recast reynolds zone of

Yes. I mean, this was an argument I was trying to have with patty. Love electronic music, love raving, dancing, whatever, but hate the whole airport like security to get into clubs, the constant surveillance by bouncers, the idea that at any point you can be kicked out so not to soil the reputation of their aura of cool, (although evidently people puking all over the place is cooler than having a bit of a flipped out moment on lsd.)
Simon for obvious reasons wasn't really revaluating this stuff from the standpoint of the nutter, whereas I'd say I certainly used to be a bit of a mental headcase. Hardcore techno taps into that lineage for me, in that I like the component bits of clubbing, but am fairly indifferent towards club culture itself. For me it's about sound and sonification of environments, whereas for most clubbers the important thing is to have a good party. But I don't really know what is to be celebrated in that sense. When you have a well calibrated and tuned sound system, you inevitably have to move because of the physical changes in your body, the way in which you quite literally feel the frequencies and it is too much for the body to process in merely an aural way. That might sound very abstract and outlandish in theory but in practice its very concrete.
And hardcore techno is one of those experiences which can enable you to reach that state, as can dub reggae.
