(fax) simply amazing - radio fax

[Trevor Cordes]

So I'm at a friend's place last night.  They have digital cable (well, so 
do I, but I rarely use it), and the digital cable has a digital music 
station called "Galaxie Ambient" (a Canadian thing I'm sure).  I flip it 
on and immediately I go, "hey, this is FAX!".  Two seconds later I realize 
it's From Within 3 (one of the really good parts).  Sure enough, when the 
title pops up it says Namlook/Hawtin Silent Intelligence.

Now you have to understand that Galaxie usually plays nothing more obscure 
than Moby and DJ Food.  OK, maybe the occasional Autechre or Boards -- the 
"superstars".  Never seen them do FAX though!

But then I realized that Canadian channels all have these stupid 
Canadian-content laws that force them to pay X percentage of Canadian 
stuff -- and guess where Hawtin is from...

Anyhow, I thought this was a strange enough occurrence I had to write 
about it.  My friend couldn't believe it either, I'm always blabbing on 
about FAX.  Airtime gives my ranting a little bit of legitimacy, perhaps.
