those are a bit dull though. i think you guys just don't know fun when you see it
Maybe, but I can tell a complete lack of effort when I see it.

sorry... feeling a bit juvenile today. but that was in response to the A. Noto / Sakomoto video, prolly shoulda clarified...
why didn't they call the collaboration Alva Moto?

There's been a hell of a lot of effort put into it, I'd say. The amount of keyframing, lighting, skin masks and texturing, plus the stuff going on inside the squid, it woulda taken quite a good while to do, much longer than yr average video. I'm not defending it, it's boring, but time and effort into execution isn't where they fell down. But it's not as if the tune DOES anything, why should the video? Editing sucks though.
I wanna hear yr booty bass 'minimalism my ass' track zhao.

i meant trippy more than anything - abstracting from the sonics - not that it's non-representational.
exactlyit also takes a bit more of an aesthetic risk than the very "tasteful" videos you posted, which are simply generic. it's a dance music promo, no one's presenting it as a work of "art"

i hated that video when i first saw it but now I actually quite like it i think. It's just kind of appealing.
as is most things to do with giant squids.

I'll check it, thanks. I was really feeling the show after Blackdown's - when they eventually turned up, but it was good to hear the Newhams show again anyway - does anyone have a programme for Rinse, an actual schedule? Their website and blog is just fucking shit for information, unless that's the desire.

PS to Blackdown n Dust, I fuckin love that Newhams track with Badness - Footsie's beats are wicked - and you can see other threads for my opinion which is far from straight down the line on the use of that word - but I had people telling me to take it off when I was playing your set.
Like I said, I love the tune - but like I said I did get told to turn it off.
I envisage a potential future where Badness gets sprayed by a drag queen when he comes out a session. I've known queens who've held up post offices in drag, strapped, do you really know how fucking mental some battymen are? Some of these queens are fucking sick in the head, and you really don't want to provoke it, they've also got AIDS and have nothing to lose. At some point it becomes about the fact that we're not here to take your abuse. My friends took it personally so all I can do is offer you up a facsimile of what they said when they heard what you were playing.
Good show though.

yeah so i wasnt entirely comfortable with playing it either, we talked about it beforehand and i'd planned to my own radio edit but didnt make the time. i wouldnt play it in a club like that either.
my personal take is i'm a bit numb to the use of that word - hearing it anymore times isnt going to turn me into a homophobe - but i guess that doesnt apply to everyone.
