Big fan here. Can't believe you don't like Rosie the dog. The jingles issue I get. It's nice that he seems to have got over the 'my friends are more successful' / 'why am i not allowed to make TV programmes any more?' issues (maybe too strong a word) and is enjoying himself

Awesome!!

I'm looking forward to listening to it tonight. It's their 'ambient session' yeah? I have enjoyed listening to 3 over the past week tt1pd and acid mwan idle esp.

This week's (NTS 2) is amazing and highly recommended for those who think Autechre are all about hypercomplex beats /machine music blah blah. Lots of clever references to the last 10+ years of dance music. A bit more ambient in places. Great stuff Craner: NTS 1 had an artificial intelligence...

Loved Bird Sound Power. Not had chance to listen to new one that much, but hasn't grabbed me in quite the same way. Was a bit obsessed with that Fact mix when it came out. This Fader mix from end of last year is also great: http://www.thefader.com/2017/12/20/fader-mix-equiknoxx-gavsborg...

Jealous Always this in HC

Those who identify as Vegan SxE HxC kids are the most boring po-faced twats imaginable. They meant it

By the time I got into H/C properly (1988) SxE was a thing, although more Minor Threat / Bad Religion inspired (and seemingly linked to skateboarding/ BMX) a bit later it was very Revelation focused (YoT, GBs etc) and more American (Jock?) sportswear. It seemed to die off as a specific thing...

If you want to explain to a 16 year old their place in the social world in the 21st century in about 5 minutes, you can use Marx easily and pretty convincingly, so he remains massively significant.

Re: BOC When they came out it was something different, so they stood out. I agree that they wouldn't have done if on Ninja Tune (but probs a bit too outre for them) El Seq is pretty friendly / approachable- El Seq 3 esp. (Re: breakcore Been listening to a lot of DJ Scud / Ambush stuff...
