Not having any how many folk are on this list, or what kind of music 
they do, hard to tell, yah? I figured that nerds might be more likely 
found in electronic music than in, say, "Pop 40 female vocalist" music!

Interesting sounds - like him much better than Duran Duran! "Falling" 
and "Underwater" on his Wild Style release sounds good. I also like how 
he offers WAVs of his tracks, too. I like his stuff!
