Hey kids, Once again, I'm providing an excerpt from the Aquarius Records e-newsletter. I take no responsibility for any factual errors! Some other bands touted in this edition were lambchop, heavy vegetable, and boards of canada. Loves, Miss Erin

"It seems to me in England, rock or guitar music is mainstream, it's kind of goody-goody. Very square. And electronic music is for rebels: sort of creative, taking risks, where rock music is playing it safe. In the States it seems to be the other way around. Maybe it's changing now, I'm not so sure, but here [in the US] electronic music is goody-goody, disco, and rock music is still the rebels. If you wanna be bad, you buy a guitar, you definitely don't buy a drum machine. In England, and you're a teenager, and you wanna be bad, you buy a drum machine. If you wanna be healthy and wholesome and eat porridge, you get a guitar." --Bjork, responding to a question about the differences between electronic or dance culture in the US vs the UK. From _Sweater_ magazine.
