Intelligent Dance Music

Intelligent Dance music, or IDM for short, was founded by acts from labels such as Warp Records, Rephlex Records and Ninja Tune Records. It is beat heavy, electronic music made to listen to instead of just dance to. It often uses syncopated and heavily processed percussion as the underlying foundation for the songs.

The Synthetic Dream Foundation, Aphex Twin, L.F.O., Boards of Canada and Plaid are some of the best-known IDM acts.

Squarepusher and The Synthetic Dream Foundation make killer Intelligent Dance Music.

rain dance

A sequence of steps undertaken to achieve a specific outcome without a practical understanding of how the steps bring about that outcome.

Commonly used in computer/technical environments to describe a set of steps that makes "something just work" where the mechanism of that function remains mysterious to the person carrying them out.

Due to the implication of ignorance and the tradition of weather modification rituals among various indigenous peoples, the term is sometimes taken to have racist undertones.

"I figured out yesterday that if I turn on my laptop first, then my monitor, THEN my audio interface, and first log in as a guest before switching to my account, I don't get that nasty crackling in my headphones anymore."

"So you're going to do that whole rain dance every time you start up your computer?"

"Saves me from buying a new one."

The Dance

When you are at work and you have to shit extremely bad, you start doing a little dance to keep it from coming out. This is known as "the dance"

"Dude, I was the only manager at work today so I couldn't go to the bathroom, I was doing the dance!"

"Man, I had to close the shop today because I was doing the dance so hard. Once I got to the bathroom I force-fed that toilet"
