oh sure, and no harm done (I used /tmp for the occasion :-)).  it is just me
trying to avoid situations where it is easy to shoot myself in the foot.  does
make me wonder about the 99% though..  ;-)

Doesn't the Geneva convention forbid such music?

Give me 10 minutes of such a "soundscape", and I'll solve the washing-up
problem by throwing dishes at the speakers.

only if shackled or otherwise constrained from physical movement.  :-)

put index + middle finger of one hand on the wrist of the other.  do you feel a
pulse?!  ;-)

</grin>

(addressing Stephen here, too)

in this video, from last evening, scenes like ca 19 minutes in show that it is
possible to enjoy "soundscapes", for some.  ;-)  admitted, the crowd is not as
as large as, say, when the Rolling Stones play -- all 370 years of them.  :-)

Wow, he must be exhausted after 2 hr 20 minutes of twiddling knobs.
That mask says "I'm a professional" :)

I'm ok with not "getting" the music, after all, my parents didn't "get" 
Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Zep, Genesis, etc., and their parents 
didn't get Buddy Holly and Elvis.  But I don't like that knob twiddling 
passes as having talent.  You don't even have to have natural rhythm nor 
practice to be a master DJ. (Perhaps a basic understanding of music 
theory, I-IV-I-V-I sort of thing)

It is interesting how music has simultaneously devolved in two camps; 
rap on one side, and euro-trance on the other.

That's when I'll have run out of cutlery and cups for ammo ;)

:-)  switching to alter ego?  fwiw, I like the mask's design.

</shrug>  I'm not a musician, don't play an instrument, just a consumer.
playing piano is "just" depressing keys. ;-)  I think it's a skill one has to
work to acquire, in the same way as a traditional instrument(s).

> You don't even have to have natural rhythm nor

but surely, if a DJ couldn't "hear" sounds + rhythms in their head, all the
technology wouldn't make any difference.  (surmising  :-))

and nowhere to go for ABBA fans..  ;-)

I struggle to "classify" music into genres, other than broad categories; where
does Rap end + Hip-Hop begin?

fancy posting a link to one of your "like"s?

At a guess, in the eight circle of Hell (Fraud).
