the absurd nonsense you're prone to spouting on a variety of topics
you've said this before, but i'm curious: topics such as? tom waits? and what else?
it's not the music that's the problem, it's your particular & fascinating combination of snobbery & cluelessness
ok i will plead guilty on the snobbery charge. sometimes i can be, or come off as, conceited.
but again: what other areas have i talked about in which i am "clueless"? besides (arguably) Tom Waits.
your bollocks about "universally irresistible" is just that, bollocks.
oh yeah? are you saying that Sex Machine or Billy Jean isn't any more universally irresistable than The Darkside - Hardcore Drum'n'Bass Style?
it's the inexplicable personal attacks that bother me, as if putting up a tune is some kind of great & terrible affront to his thread on playing at "regular" bars
nah, no personal attacks man. i even like a few of the earlier tunes you posted upthread. just that last one i thought was especially terrible, and i think would work in about 0.001 percent of watering holes around the world.
and some around here talk about that "early hardcore" "proto jungle" stuff ALL THE DAMN TIME. aging british ravers nostalgic about their first ecstasy experiences, and trying to give it more importance by endless theorizing, and attempt to make it out to be the golden era, the end-all of dance music. pretty myopic if you ask me.
and a thread which clearly stated in the original post not about "specialized scenes", you go on to post page after page of UK Hardcore Continuum music. it's fine to an extent but i'm just saying that some of that shit sucks and that there are millions of forms and styles that would work better in smaller venues.
i can be admittedly a bit (or a lot) abrasive... but it's ok that i speak my mind yes?
