Your passion for the music is evident in each post, random update and mix uploaded. <br /><br />You've opened my ears to so many new avenues of electronic music, in doing so completely rejuvenated my interest in it. <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />I think the calm and well-measured response was perfect to the goose who had a dig. Nothing highlights aggressiveness and overreactions than their polar opposites.<br /><br />Oh, and the relative close-mindedness* of this blog is what makes it fantastic. <br /><br />Anonymously posting rubbish like that instantly removed any credibility he/she may have once enjoyed.<br /><br />Thanks again for the great blog!<br /><br />* the focus on 'ssg' artists and the like.chris tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-28240652345630747682009-11-05T21:03:34.125+11:002009-11-05T21:03:34.125+11:00I would have ignored that comment to be frank, pre...I would have ignored that comment to be frank, pretended like it wasn't even there.
