music, 2003
I tried to organise the year by genre and immediately remembered who I am. #
hardcore: The Stunned Guys, Tommyknocker, Nosferatu, Neophyte, Promo, Endymion, The Viper and a pile of other things currently living on CD-Rs with disgraceful labels.
techno / progressive: Ricky Le Roy, Mario Più, Zicky, Mauro Picotto, nights I remember by room rather than track title.
voice of the year: Franchino. Obviously.
pop: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera. No apology section follows.
always: Garbage, Depeche Mode, Prodigy.
most aggressive personal music service: Edo / Lecco / MSN.
best place for music: impossible. Club when I need the room. Headphones when I need nobody. Blue Mac when it’s two in the morning. Train when the view is doing half the work.
favourite track: don’t make me do this.
favourite genre: also no.
did techno replace hardcore: no.
did hardcore prevent me liking pop: obviously not.
lesson: shelves are useful for CDs, less useful for people.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
