Thanks for your kind words, especially the extremist ones. My great idea applies more to mainstream thought than crit theory, and less to rock (a medium created for the youth audience) than movies or TV or whatever. But even though many pop writers know that youth in itself is worth celebrating, the geezers generally only study their own reactions, and I don't think they correlate sufficiently with the actual experiences the kids have. Though I might change my mind in a decade, just like I hope I will about John Ford...
Anyway, in this great country of mine, I think (I'll have to check) that I still have to wait till June 4 for the Eminem album, and I don't know if I'll have time to steal it before them. And since it's not an Osama concept album, I'm already disappointed. Still, E gets my millennium nod for a whole array of diamonds, bound together in a lattice to form a mega-meta-diamond, even if what binds them is shit.

JUST because I think "Stan" is the single most unfunniest single since "We Are the World"...

Name is Julio. I am 22 years old and I live in London, UK (as I write I am in Toronto though). I am currently doing a PhD in chemistry at University College, London.
I was Born in Brazil but I moved to England 10 years ago. Watching Ian Curtis on the telly did stir up an initial interest in music. Started buying rock/indie records but then watched a captain beefheart doc on the telly that led me to him. This completely changed my musical inetrests and led me to more marginalised musical forms such as free-improvisation and also some free-jazz. From the classical standpoint I seem to like things that are 'anti-classical' like morton feldman and Xenakis' electronic pieces but have maintained an interest in the walking corpse that is 'popular music'.

Obtained 'Kylie' by Kylie Minogue on cassette at age of 7 (1988), have not looked back since. Favourite album ever would be 'Different Class'. Will say no more, as will feel obliged to namecheck about 200 bands'n'artists, and this would be bit gratuitous.

Now doing cut-and-paste/irritainment music like everyone else. I go by DJ Veal, until I'm sure that lame Canadian band by the name of Veal is dead-and-gone.
For the record, I like hearing everything once; after that I'm a lot more discerning! Also for the record, I LIKE hip-hop. And my personal goal is never to get stuck, temporally, in any music (as in, let's say, my wife: stopped listening to new music in the 70s so only music up to the 70s is of any worth)(perhaps I'm being a little harsh on her). I think we, now as always, live in the times of the best music ever.

in reality I run a record label by myself and the PRL with several others, a fledgling and incomplete website that's been up a scant 2 and half months (the board part being around for a year). I also buy, research and sell rare books for a living.
turn ons include the Los Angeles Free Music Society, Dock Boggs, outsider music, Cleveland 70's punk and Tropicalia (to name a few).
turns offs include Stephen Malkmus, Britpop, reggae (though not dub or 60's ska), and "pop."
now I AM a phd student in philosophy, focusing on aesthetics, in particular philosophy of music. I study and work as a graduate assistant slave at the lovely u of minnesota, twin cities. if I'm fast I might graduate in, uh, 2006. or 2007.
I wrote about anything related to music on my blog.

Julio, being a movie, 101 does have a disproportionally large number of beautiful people in it, but I think I can say with certainty that if you were to come to Reykjavík to check out the party scene, you would find a satisfying number of beautiful blondes… Nathalie – I did say chances are… ;-)
