I can't resist... (some potentially useful info though)
> How to get the snot-like price tag glue off CD boxes?
Apply heat froma blow-dryer before removing the tag.
> Which is better? Vinyl or CDs?
I'm not even going to tempt anyone. Nope, won't touch this with a 15-foot
pole.
> How do I start making techno?
Don't start anything. Do. Learn. Compose. Learn more. Repeat.
> Do the drugs work?
I'm feeling much better now, thank you. One word: moderation.
> Is your life complete without the complete works of RDJ?
My life will never be complete, though I anticipate this one will end at
some point.
> Are rare records better than freely available records?
You can make rare records out of bits from the ones you got for free. (cf.
DJ Shadow)
> Which is better, a 'proper' sampler or a PC soundcard? (a modern-day
> classic)
What do I have to do for you to go home with this Synclavier tonight?
> Music - Form over Function?
Often in academia, yes.
> Records which would you cause you serious embarassment if the IDM list knew
> you had them
Corey Hart, _Boy in the Box_ comes to mind. Or those old Supertramp LPs.
> What's the best music to fall asleep to?
I've decided falling asleep to music is abuse of recorded music.
> Is expensive stereo equipment necessary/better?
Depends if you like the vaseline-on-the-lens sound projection of a
typical, domestic stereo.
> Do you find it dangerous listening to certain music while driving?
Tangerine Dream at 5am after a bender would be a bad idea.
> And as for the questionnaires, how about IQ tests? (Sometimes I amaze
> myself...)
I wish to invoke my 5th Amendment privilege.
