Hey Folks.

Get a grip of the post-modernist zeitgeist. Almsot evreything we do in our leisure time is driven by a psot modernist system. What do I mean ,well, modernism (dates to the late 1830's as a technical definition) would piuit the eman of production as the central facet of civilised life, its regualtion, comtrol and limitations posing the central questions of the age. BUT now we are in an ear when the human input into the prodcution of things is reducing daily, heavy industry is run by robots, pizzas are produced on a production line, food ids frozen and cooked in a microwave in minutes. The big questions of the age are about informaton and marketing, getting your point across, influencing the buying decison , whether that be inones' choice of religion, automobiles or CDs. If you get your msuic by shopping for it rather than hunting it down with your poetable MP3 recored, you are aprt of the postmodern movement. So labels and catergories are necessarily false but necessary intis increasingly false world...
