if we're talking critical approval here i'm pretty sure this is off the mark (much as we might wish it wasn't), if we include shit like Jarre alongside shit like mannhein steamroller. you are probably dead on about the third wave ska revival stuff, though, as long as we exclude operation ivy...

Los Angeles' Droid Behavior Techno Podcast & Zine, European Tour (Barcelona y Berlin) please pardon the spammy nature of this, but these guys are pretty fantastic and dedicated techno heads from LA who are trying to cast their nets a little wider. NOT EVERYONE IN LA IS A SOULLESS DOUCHEBAG YOU...

i totally thought this was going to be a thread blasting the entirety of rap music and rappers for even trying. i freestyled something some people found decent once but i was really drunk and i came up after a white virginian military officer, so basically no. i'd say there's gotta be someone...

opera is hard for me, only because a lot of it strikes me as technically amazing but its hard to maintain the vibe on- i either get the catchy bits (les toreadors, aria #14 from the magic flute) or i get lost in waves of endless melodramatic permutation (remembering what i can of the intro to...

gargantuan image, master confucius. i roll my own (it is not pretentious, it is very cheap and quite tasty and i can smoke pot wherever i want so thpbt) and since i have started, i roll almost exclusively american spirit, which is tasty and not nearly as chemmy as a lot of cigarettes. their...

not to derail the thread, but when i was a wee young'un (meaning slightly before now, by most standards) i was in a meatloaf music video, as "young loaf". for reals. 'objects in the rear view mirror (may appear closer than they are). totally different album,era, etc., but yeah. there you go...

fixed. i'm kind of glad chapelle ducked out. saying 'wait, taking race seriously is more important to me than $50 million' is kind of a really big statement to make, especially for someone who could have so easily just ridden the pop culture train all the way. i wait to see if he makes a larger...

mortiis? because he is the coolest most true-to-his-roots guy ever basically. mortiis 4ever

I just found out that a friend of mine is in the midst of trying to create an independent video outlet on the net that uses a combination of tags, RSS feeds and cheap/free video technology to basically allow you to stream any kind of video content you'd like in and see plenty of amateur and...

dee lite's groove is in the heart lady miss kier made me wanna wear dresses.

omg- you're right, Buick: I was too young for the first appearance of a)video games and b)jungle but i more or less need to hear this rtype track or not only might I die, but my life would be totally nugatory*. mark n from bloody fist (nasenbluten/overcast/probably a bunch of other nicks)...

oh gosh hooray well, taking influence as the use of sounds/samples from particular video games, i'd really have to recommend saskrotch's Nintendo Breakz; kind of a DJ tools package with hard, broken beats (and only one vocal sample as far as I can tell) under about 40 VG melodies. there's...

i know this is going out on a weird tip but forums.insertcredit.com (which recently came back up after a nasty hacker-induced crash) contain probably some of the most lucid, comical, intelligent and forward-thinking talk about videogamezzz ever. and this is in the technology thread so no...

tejada has been a staple on the west coast for a while. His production has always been pretty damn good and seems to evolve naturally into different niches- a lot of his stuff works just as well at lame hollywood bars or with less enthusiastic (hardcore, maybe?) crowds as he does with nasty...

i hate madonna's 'like a virgin'. having had to play it at every college dance i ever even remotely helped with because of the gaggles of confused mormon girls drinking for their first time but who were too offended at anything more interesting than a thinly veiled 'jesus + blowjobs' theme...

techno and classical both suffer from a weird form of insideritis where it all sounds the same unless you are actually paying attention to what is "supposed" to be important. kind of funny, how hard it is to tell the difference between various composers as well as between levels of quality...

did you actually mean righteous in the ironic metal/surfer sense here or in the sense of truly just? p.s. i think you need to meet more hardcore chicks. they are often better at fun and violence than a lot of douchebaggy dudes on speed i know.

yeah, i kinda posted about this ,but not enough. anyways, tonight, some kids are throwing a party. I'm one of 'em. Be a neat little warehouse affair downtown LA, from 9:30 to 5:30. 21+, wiff bar. Special Guests include Kid Kameleon, DJ Ripley, 5lowershop from San Francisco, LA's own Baseck and...

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/story.jsp?story=649780 I don't know the Independent's background, and this seems mostly like a scare story, but I pass it on in the hopes that we can all laugh as this turns out to be just that. p.s. - not only Americans are crazy :)

Hey there folkses, some friends and I have decided to get off of our complacent, complainy butts and try to do something regarding the fractured and isolated fun-parties-to-attend thing as it stands in Southern Cali. To do this, we enlisted some help from our northern brethren, and we're proud...
