like this somatic responses tune im realising makes even the very best boards of canada completely irrelevant
22) Patrice Rushen - Look Up
look up and forget me sax. great clockwork rhythm at the beginning as well. the other one i like is called remind me. but this one seems more appropriate for the thread.
21) Johnny Clarke - King In the Arena
tubby dub of this also wicked. norf london reggae anthem for corpsey. wistful and breezey.
this can problematise the latent ableism in the dissensus framework. Not ableism as discrimination, but ableism as a subconscious value set.
If I may be not a bit controversial (and this is directed at absolutely none of you, well, maybe a bit blissblogger) dare I say it this can problematise the latent ableism in the dissensus framework.
Ive recognised for some time that this is your implicit challenge to the forum, and especially with regard to the framework that Barty and myself tried to construct. I've been trying to think through the implications for at least a year without making much progress.
Of course we all start from where we are, necessarily, and I don't think that should be displaced or denied, but equally I do know where you're coming from here. It's a useful critique and new perspective.
I expect web eschatologys list to raise some of the same issues actually.
My tentative answer is social isolation.

I also find it kind of weird that people tend to apply identity politics to their listening. this is 'a straight tune' or this is 'a gay tune.' Like, undoubtedly those aesthetics exist, and it would be foolish to deny them, but part of why I didn't include any Cardi B in the list is the same reason I soured from Thug. It's the need of white music heads (not talking about anyone on this forum) to differentiate themselves from bro rap and reintegrate hip hop into the rock cannon. it's dishonest, if I'm being honest. and not a bit paternalising and racist. otherlife and treelethargy alluded to this in the other thread. i was discussing this with web eschatology and we came to the conclusion that rap subsuming emo or emo subsuming rap (depending on how you look at it) was an ambiguous development at the best of times. Emo was an embarrassing phase white people should have grown out of.
i'd love to explore that. have instance of it explained to me.
one ironic thing about that is how third actually champions clubbing and even dancing over say me or luke. our egos are too big/fragile to find much enjoyment in clubbing.
like when hamas build tunnels to circumvent israeli air power. me and luke can't win with good looks, dance moves or big muscles, so we choose being all cleaver and funny instead. the club is the wrong battleground.
this was what i was trying to get at with the tommy lee sparta bit on post-grime list thread. trying to champion the sonic innovations of your young thugs et al. without all that gross cultural baggage they carry.
. Things which code, I suppose, as, variously, arty, intellectual, indie, experimental or even unapologetically nerdy.
I was going to mention that. I think, counter-intuitively, in the sounds and in the structures of the music, you share more with Craner in terms of taste. but of course in choice of songs and cultural positionality you are closer to me. It's kind of confusing. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it when i thought about it on the bog. nearly laughed out loud. i was like, i can't fucking post that with a straight face and not get ruthlessly cussed out.
