As far as I'm concerned, that shit ain't even emo.
T-shirts with gigantic lettering on them.
Trainers.
You must love what boxcutters been doing lately then. That futurefunk stuff on his myspace is positively hydrochloric.I'm more just taking the opportunity to moan about sounds that annoy me right now. As far as the long view goes, as long as history continues to smile on mentasm sounds, the Amen break and acieed-style 303 bass, then I'm basically happy.
Hmm.
And playing Devil's advocate here, blarey booze music is timeless.
I don't think the idea of disposable dance music with a short shelf life is so bad
drab clipeticloping endlessly laptopy mnml
kompakt, cocoon - neo-trance...all those records that sound both flimsy and over-ripe
snoresome dub techno retreads without basic channel edge (loads of those last year)
hawtin's info-tech business fair version of techno futurism
hand-wringing, mannered, click/micro house from early 00s - yawn!
all that creatively lazy berlin techno bohemia
ts'all already dying - drying out and reducing like boneless jellyfish on hot sands!
Xasthur & west coast bedroom BM in general.
Reverby, droney sounds compressed to fuck so they're ducking under the beats and the whole track is just far too loud... Sick of it.
Suddenly hoardes of ex DNB people, and bedroom Indie pop producers, and crossover Baltimore club people, and ex Dubstep people are all making bloghouse. Treasure Fingers is in Evol Intent. Mathhead, Foamo, Drop the Lime, and Starkey have all been making crossover wobble tunes at this tempo.
And they're bringing some genuine skills to their productions, its getting interesting.
I think this whole line of questioning by music (or any other) critics has become a bit over prominent
'how with the album be remembered?'
'but will people care about this film in 15 years?'
I don't care, what do you think about it now?
Also hoping that the JoolsHollandification of music in the 2000s (Winehouse, Duffy, Seasick Swagman) will date horribly

well it's just thinking out loud, but i think it works on several levels i think.
Firstly you got the actual effects of alcohol on hearing ie it cuts out some of the lower end. so naturally your left with the need to fill that with mid.
Then the social kind of power of the midrange and volume, ie mid is usually the same pitch as speech, directed etc and in a social situation the battle for music is to either accompany and stimulate drinking, like in a pub, so you get this battle between music volume and speaking, which results in overstimulated drinkers almost shouting at each other.
or you want to be loud enough to drown out the speaking altogether, hence oasis' midrange miasma, the bar room blog house, ie crookers, justice etc. The trick is to get the music loud enough so that audiences have to give in.
The music also works in some ways as you can play a low quality mp3 of it and as it has no bottom or top end particulary it won't matter.
its a new thing in dance music though which has always put bass and drums before mid
What we're talking about then is faceless hypem blog house, basically.
