"What is the Most IDM Thing" Bracketology 2009

How much is the lemon meringue pie?

GIANT FUCKING SQUID overtook strandbeest in the quiet murky darkness of the night

hating weed [ 43 ] ** [50.00%]

beard shaver's regret [ 43 ] ** [50.00%]

this is gonna be a close call

lol @ the thought of a Hating Weed tribute album

cant you just grow a beard back?

beard shaver's regret is strong but fleeting

come on beard shaver's regret !!!!!!!

not fair not fair!!! pajama boners got reading the rules, how can it compete?

wisp for the win

fucking catcus out again

yeah i dont get why cactus are such brilliant planners but just fucking stand there and do nothing when the actual game starts. still, solid defense. they're just extremely flat at times.

Giant Prehistoric Sloths Are No Match For Smoking A Pipe Inside A Space Helmet

Thus far the only thing i can say watching this matchup is; The burley S.P.I.S.H. defense attacks and makes plays, It confuses and confounds... And each of its members carries himself with the sort of confidence that tells you this is a special group. Not cocky, but just aware of its excellence.

yeah what the hell is fish with transparent heads doing beating out cacti? It's like people don't consider the final outcome when they vote - we already had DSCs, folks! Plus there is only one fish with a transparent head, while all forms of cactii are seriously idm.

And insects and internet are tied? Insects are full on idm. Internet is so damn obvious, "hey, let's have a tribute album to internet!!". wtf.

I don't know you people.

I wish that "ancient astronauts" and "owls" were not yet competing. Both are worthy of the 2009 title.

dont start with the sports commentary already

kiss my ass black

well said.

i lost respect for all of you when my 'eating and drinking your own waste products' went out early. there is nothing more idm than gradually dying as the nutrient levels in your food decreases with each meal/bowel movement... your body's struggle for sustainance eventually forcing it to consume itself from the inside out... cramps, seizures, unconsciousness, etc. lots to inspire on an artistic level?

let us weed out these one dimensional suggestions and end up with something truly inspiring and emotive!

i was watching ali g episodes on the plane this weekend when i realized he is SPISHing in the opening credits. that might work against their efforts here. ali g isn't very IDM is he? or is he.

sloths winning over Ulilillia is a travishamockery

It's rigged if he doesnt make it to the final round tehehe

i don't like they way i have to look up what some of these things are

i dont like that Fred

I'm a staunch supporter of SPISH.

Smoking a pipe inside an MRI (SPIMRI) is good, but it's not nearly as IDM.

If you're inside an MRI machine, and you're rich, you could very theoretically get away with smoking a pipe while in there.

However, in a space helmet, it's completely illogical as you're living off recycled air. It's a terrible, nonsensical, and ridiculously hilarious idea.

And that's what makes it IDM.

man, there needs to be a fundamental sit-down discussion as to the very semantics of what is idm... cuz as i said in a thread about what is NOT idm, to which i gave GWAR as the ultimate example of not idm (while, amazingly, realizing that heroin is indeed IDM) i got to dispensing words about what i believe IDM to be:

 

idm is all about the feeling that's going through your head when you pose for that magazine interview / promotional picture / album insert shot /whatever -- where you wanna look like you're from the future and you and only you contain teh wisdom that is quintessential for the survival of our future. and you're not here to save us because you have to save the world, in fact the world can be damned, you're here because you're so damn cool hip and important that you're gracing us with your presence just because it's about damn time you got recognized.

 

your look has to be a barren look, one that is indicative of deep meditation-like-thought as you stare off into the future, aka your homelands, where the CIVILIZED blokes all recognize you as the important foremost musical genius that you are.

 

you're too sharp and important to be clowney, you are dead serious, for your music is the ultimate form of all sonic-based-communications. you dream of CGI landscapes in your virtual reality goggles, because your view of reality is so sickeningly deep you have to take things in virtually because you are essentially one with technology: the machines work for You (the Y being capitalized to show divinity)

 

you're not one of those dance music clowns, be it a producer with spikey red hair or a DJ with sunglasses, you're INTELLIGENT dance music, as you naturally transcend such primitive forms of communication. in fact, you're quite offended when someone tries to sully the innate brilliance of your music by dancing to it: they insult hte fact that your patterns are so complex that anything short of a computer pumping out 73 trillion gigaflops of calculations per second would be able to comprehend them and consequently react with proper dance moves. your music speaks not of the world that is but the world that should be. each note is meticulously crafted as per the instructions directly from god: You are the vessel, the conduit, the medium which communicates messages from higher beings to lower beings. anyone who listens to your music gains five IQ points just by default. You feel sorry for poor sods like aphex twin who have to move to rural scotland to support their family, despite being the so-called "idm king"

 

you are a self-made millionaire who travels the world with the money stacks the bitches hte respect and the ability to cause cameras to cry because they know they're about to epic fail when they try to accurately portray the magnanimous aura that you eminate in a single frozen moment. you are the flashbulb, so important and quintessential that you can take the works of aphex twin and most notably squarepusher and immediately transcend them and become some kind of ohmygod-famous and rich just because you're you. You gave quantazelle the idea to hock old IDE cables as high fashion belts. when the humans aren't around, assembly lines dance to your music. aliens travel from 50 quintillion light years away just to slsk your new EP when it hits the p2p circuit, and they're inventing technology to morph into humanoid bodies just for your next show.

 

you always have a look of disdain in your face because there is no joy in making this music, there is no fun, this music is too important to be taken anything short of gravely serious. every time someone makes eye contact with a picture of you the temperature in the room drops three degrees. you like shiny-looking zip up fleeces with a small embroidered logo on them, and you have a beard because you can't be arsed to deal with banal things like shaving: your true purpose is in the studio, invoking the spirit of photek as you meticulously craft the kind of snare hit that deus ex machina would use, and also make sure the levels are pitch perfect so lianne doesn't show up on your sub-forum someday and say "say don't you think that IDM-artist-X is kind of overrated?!"

 

women only want to fuck you because they can't understand you, and if they could, you'd dump them immediately for being beneath you. dogs stare at you like you're god, and they're mortified of daring to bark when you're around. you wear those grey shoes with an N on the side of them. you wore emo glasses before people called them emo glasses, and you never drink any sort of beverage that isn't from a company that thinks it's saving the earth by selling you a drink. the thought of eating a big thick juicy hamburger sickens you because you need to look at least semi-emaciated to fit into your damn-near-skintight fleece. you balls out respect boards of canada but you don't know why. you secretly harbor ill will towards aphex twin and think he's overrated because he doesn't pay close attention to the specifics of his levels when he's mastering. you watch the news for history lessons because you've heard this all before.

 

and most importantly, you only post on watmm to correct people.

 

you are indeed the essence of IDM. and no, you're not an owl or an insect.

 

can someone plz tell me why an owl or an insect is idm?!

 

and btw, i've said it earlier i said it here and i'll say it until i die:

 

GWAR is the most anti-IDM thing in the collective history of reality.

period.

 

end of line.

Well, maybe this IDM thing has everything to do with capturing the imagination. This contest is operating on an internal level.

Owls capture the imagination, and for some, industrial piping. It would be crude to say that these things "dance in front of our eyes" while listening to an AFX/LFO screw-down, but is closer to the point. We are voting here, for ourselves, our very essence, the mystery.

There is also the thrill of the win. The animus and anima materialize as cartoon characters, GIANT FUCKING SQUID and all; GO HOME-MADE HAARP JAMMING DEVICES we shout. This, was a bit of a bastard as a side note, I had to vote Home Team on this one, and boot one of my faves, girls and robots in the same photo.

All other votes I make are tested against, "is this more or less stupid than a Baloney Volcano", but this is my contribution. Plus I like brackets and sports. And birds. Goodbye falconry and owls.

i would like to see an IDM tribute to either the LHC or neutron stars

I've now used all 17 of my dupe accounts to vote, so you can blame me.

GO ANTARCTICA.

yes I agree, however, the thing most people tend to forget about SPISH-ing is: how you actually maintain or light a pipe, the answer is IDM.
