Has The Stranger ever considered reviewing electronic shows that aren't full of drugged up assholes?

Good job finding ten thousand jackasses dumb enough to drive to the ass end of nowhere and get high. That must have taken minutes of work.

Meanwhile, The Stranger has failed to review: Skinny Puppy, VNV Nation, Laibach, Covenant, and Aesthetic Perfection. Bands that played locally, but merely selling out the Showbox First wasn't enough.

If the reviewer lives - and I'm not particularly in favor of it - maybe try reviewing electronic shows in Seattle?

A friend of mine who's a biological psychologist has done a lot of research on MDMA (and other drugs) and found that the very first time a rat or pigeon is exposed to MDMA, a specific neural pathway stops firing and never starts again.

She doesn't know exactly what those neurons might be responsible for--maybe nothing--but she and I both found it interesting. It only happened with MDMA but it happened in every subject animal that was exposed to it.

what a f'in nightmare. So glad I'm too old for that sheeit. That's a lot of rich little rats.

You know what, I agree 100%. Very good points.

I mean, the Stranger reviews electronic music, but only shitty hipster electronic music and not good electronic music, like industrial and such.

Rabbit Junk is based in Seattle, but The Stranger has never even mentioned them. Sascha K now lives in Seattle, but the Stranger hardly ever mentions KMFDM.

There seems to be an unwritten rule in the Stranger that non-hipster shit, as in music with actual energy that is listened to by people other than whiney white trust fund babies in their mid 20s to early 30s, should not be mentioned in its pages.

People like me, who shop at Target, drink Amstel Light, wear loose fitting pants and eat at chain restaurants (i.e., non-hipster trash) don't matter as much as the inhabitants of Capitol Hill, paying rent with the money their rich parents send them, do, despite the fact that we're the majority.
