[maxmsp] Re: Re: Re: aka.iPhone / Experiment 2

Cool, mates. Don't take it personnally. It was no judgement. I just 
personnaly, actually, don't like much turntables in general. I'm glad 
you people like it and i honestly liked a lot of things made with (but i 
swear i don't listen to my Terre Thaemlitz records anymore). And i've 
done things with too. Nevertheless, yes, we certainly had to bear 
turntables everywhere this last decade. As we are tortured by rnb in 
drugstores, and as we, french people, will have to stay cool while our 
president ridiculously do his jogging with a nypd shirt for the next 5 
years.

"Cold Virgin" was a horrible homemade translation of "vierge 
éffarouchée". I'm sure i've heard the correct expression last night in 
an old Wild Palms episode but i didn't remember. I meant i'm really 
pissed off we can't say "stupid turntablism" without beeing called names 
these days. And as we're fed with djs to death, i could also have said : 
"kill the djs". Because i care less of Hawtin when he plays records than 
when he plays with a 909 and a bunch of fx, even if he's still very good 
at playing records.

But this was not the point. I was mostly discussing about innovative 
interfaces in general, and the fact that, while offering cool new 
features, i'm disapointed they often stay a gadget. We can now stop this 
troll of mine.
