Re: electronica is spreading?
Ah, the halcyon days when electronica was supposed to kill rock and roll. Whatever the scene now is, I'm sure there's something new and exciting going on, you just have to find it. Back in the 90's, it was the Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Prodigy, and all of the usual suspects. But I would not look towards them now to lead the way. Take bands like U2 or Pearl Jam. Are they still good and relevant? Sure. But are they going to blow your mind with something so cutting edge that you've never heard before? Probably not.

Someone around here, it may have been Scott, used to say that electronica desperately needs a Nirvana or a punk rock (this was quite a while ago too). It's got to be out there somewhere.
