I've always been in love with techno.
I'm looking to expand my iTunes library, so I need more techno artists.
Know of any?

Oy... my techno knowledge is pretty much limited to the Chemical Brothers... that is, I've heard of them. o_O
I'll see if I can kick little sister's a** into checking in; I think she might have some techno suggestions.

... Today, I learned that there's a difference between techno and electronica. Yesterday, I learned that Guadalcanal is an island (hey, my public school education sucked). So far, this week's going well...

I don't know if there's a public school course of the history of Techno and Electronica. I'd sign up, if there was. I think techno upsets me, because of the process of creating it. It's simple point and click on a mouse. I can tolerate sample music, because I dabble. Techno is just so easy to make it's absurd.

Wouldn't fill a course, just the history of the genre. A chapter in a history of modern music course, maybe... I had a semester of "History of Popular Music in America" at Long Beach State, during which I discovered that as far as the last fifty or sixty years is concerned, I could write the damn textbook. Seeing as how I made some extra money writing the damn term papers... ninja No, I meant the Guadalcanal thing -- twelve years of public school, several various post-secondary history courses... and World War II, as far as any of us were told, consisted of Europe this and that and oh! Pearl Harbor! Germany, France, London Blitz, hey! Midway! Stalin, D-Day, Eisenhower, Russians in Berlin, war... not over? Oh yeah, nukes! Between the History Channel and my neighbor, who served in the navy in the Pacific during the war, lately I've been completely floored at how much was never even mentioned. The war in Europe was practically a diversion from the real fighting. o_O;

Considering the crap that seems to pass for pop music, I think I have some inkling what you mean...

We killed nazi's. Also some Japanese. Until I got older and started watching the History channel and reading history books.

You can crank out 15 songs an hour if you didn't bother with the equalizing.

*nods* Hell, I had World History Honors (we covered WWI by reading All Quiet and II by reading Night -- that's on top of the reading assigned in English I Honors, btw), then AP US History, which went a little more in-depth, but was heavy on either end (lots of colonial/revolutionary war material, ending with heavy emphasis on Cold War events -- and honestly, I've gotten better insights on that reading Tom Clancy novels!). College world history (Cal State, so still technically public schooling) seemed to assume we'd been drilled on both WWs ad nauseum. After that, my history and humanities classes rarely got more recent than the Renaissance, so I just had no idea. Thank the gods for the History Channel... now, if they'd just cut down on the alien programming a bit... xp
... I should tie this conversation in, somehow... ah, according to the History Channel (IIRC), centuries ago in the near and middle east, a group of very skilled killers (who occasionally sold their skills as hit-men) were known to smoke hashish frequently, and were subsequently known as the "hashishians." Which is the root for the modern word "assassin."

Well, at least the Beatles took something like twenty hours to record the fourteen songs for their first album... o_O;
