Mac vs PC

[jonnyspeed]

1) Proper techno is far better than that Schranz bollocks
2) Dave Clarke: over rated twit with man-tits or talented superman
3) Give up your Mac and get a proper computer
4) Wow this sounds original (because I have little or no musical breadth)
5) I think I have a right to my opinion despite it being bigoted and founded in little or no facts

Less of an argument and more of a celebration of all things Regis.

At glade my friend ran round with a homemade cardboard sign proclaiming:

"Side partings are old news"

He had a chat with Hawtin after about it. Richie was quite tickled.

They used to have signs above the bar in pubs that read:

"No politics or religion"

Mind you it used to be quite in them days.
Before Smirnoff Ice came along, and the art of coversation and debate was superceded by vomiting.

Go back in history and you'll find the same debates raging.

What's Techno?

A genre of music featuring mechanical beats and found sounds that range from apocalyptic sirens to sampled TV and movie dialogue. It was founded in Detroit in the early '80s and has a tempo of around 126-130 bpm. Like house, the original techno is characterized by the four quarter bass drum: 1 2 3 4, but in techno the feel of the track is harder, darker and more driving. Sub genres of techno include: Detroit techno, minimal techno, experimental techno, hardcore and gabber, the latter of which can go up to 220 bpm in speed.

Exactly.

[Jay Pace]

All techno should have at least one sample saying "Techno"

By law.

[TechMouse]

All techno should have at least one sample saying "Techno"

By law.

Additionally, all house music should feature the sample "House", and so on.

This will help music critics to classify music more easily.

[GothamGrooves.com]

not really an arguement, but here in the states when u speak with a generic ignorant individual (which makes up of approximately 90-95% of the people) about any type of dance music at all and you mention techno... Their response is always, oh you mean the music with just the beats? Its ok I guess but its soooo repetitive. :evil: I swear I want to leak whatever brain cells they have from their ears and replace it with a potato, atleast that way they are doing some good and scarecrow! lol

[TechMouse]

Their response is always, oh you mean the music with just the beats?
That's relatively enlightened.

Genuinely, I have actually had people say to me "Techno? What, like, 2 Unlimited?"
