I just listen to the radio or check out hints from friends.
I have never really understood the whole "sold out" mentality. Why do people always say this of a band that has actually achieved what they set out to- make money, become famous, and enjoy making and playing music? My favorite quote to date is from the bass player from Metallica when he was asked if they sold out - he told the interviewer that hell yes they sold out...They sold out Montreal, they sold out Seattle, they sell out every damn show they play. He just laughed and told the interviewer that was the whole point of getting in the industry anyway to play at sold out arenas and have fun.

If a song sounds good then it sounds good, if it sounds bad then it sounds bad. It doesn't matter to me personally if it is some local group or some mega group. I am what I am.

Of course one of these days I need to learn the difference between the techno styles - trance, jungle, house, and the others. I am starting to get into some of it and need to figure out what it is I am liking.
