    Comin in with the mix and blend

    interesting interview from Elgato which came out in the last few months: http://thequietus.com/articles/11962-elgato-interview he is one of the dons for me. although as he kind of suggests by way of his influences, his sound isn't necessarily strictly committed to the fortification of any kind...

    NOUGHTIES 'NUUM POLL - Dissensus top 30 garage/grime/dubstep/funky/bassline tracks

    yeah i don't get what's special about qawwali. maybe you had to be there, but i don't have the same feeling about Neverland or Root, for example... good to see full lists to see how things shake out within genres... been half-trying to cobble together a list for myself the last few days...

    Lee Rodriguez and Steven John Craden... folks know em? Lots of projects... the virtual soul track is amazing not sure if i think this last one if good or just kind of novel... prolly a pretty context specific play... riding the cusp...

    been e-digging around the nu groove discog over the last month instead of writing essays... thought i'd post a few of my favourite finds: this transphonic ep is generally quite great... this one isn't really house at all... but it's kind of a neat ragga track. the production is minimal...

    that was an icky way to have the tournament finish. those first two goals were world class, but watching the game shut off with Motta off on a stretcher... when i thought it was shaping up to be exciting all the way till the end... haven't been so disappointed by a final since 2004. hats to...

    Euro 2012

    At the last world cup players like Marchisio and Montolivo were coming into the side for the first time. It was clear then that they would be important moving forward, but they were still pretty green. These two teams are kind of on either side of a transition process. It's great to have Pirlo...

    Euro 2012

    i think missing Villa is a pretty big deal, but i've seen games where they struggled to score with him in the squad too. Disappointed with Portugal in the attacking third today. Yet again, i would love to know why the forward pecking order was what it was. Varela got 9 minutes at the end, and...

    Euro 2012

    i think this final is wide wide open. Certainly Italy can beat Germany, and Portugal can beat Spain too. My apprehension for Portugal is Hugo Almeida... i wish they had gone to Varela a few more times by now, but at this point as a still somewhat unproven commodity i understand why they can't...

    Euro 2012

    yeah i thought Spain received some generous calls from the refs in moments (although i don't think it was wrong to give the penalty at the end), but they certainly make their luck through their patience and dogged play. i still think there is no way they are winning this tournament though, and...

    Euro 2012

    yeah i agree with all of that, i'm just interested in the international tournament as its own standard. it certainly isn't a better arbiter of quality but it's clear that players and fans are nonetheless heavily invested in it, and i think its interesting to think about how it comes to pass that...

    Euro 2012

    neither of them is the best international tournament footballer in the world right now, nor have they ever been, thusfar, as far as my memory serves me. Ronaldo is beginning to make a case for himself in this tournament, but do we think he has been the out and out best footballer so far? maybe a...

    aaand don't forget to to thank Moutinho for that exceptional run and service.

    Euro 2012

    yeah thank goodness for Balotelli. It was frustrating to watch Italy play into Ireland's hands for a long while there, but i suppose it's hard not to play nervy in those situations. Up until the moment that Mario came on, you'd be hard pressed to finger the player in that squad who looked like...

    Euro 2012

    Well finally Ronaldo and Nani are starting to connect across the attacking half... up till the last few possessions i would say that's been maybe one of the fundamental weaknesses of Portugal's offense. Ronaldo is constantly getting fed runs down the left wing, and he tends to like to square off...

    hearing the seven nation army chant constantly is really irritating. all the branding around this tournament is pretty terrible, in fact.

    Euro 2012

    i dunno if the thought is that Balotelli and Di Natale are incompatible? i would have taken off Cassano instead. He looked pretty uninspired after the break. Just generally though Italy stopped clicking in the offensive end after a while. Two very good sides either way. Croatia are pretty...

    Euro 2012

    i'm not convinced by anyone so far. Russia yesterday? there's a team that looks like they could get torn to pieces by an enterprising offensive team. Poland was menacing with them in all kinds of 2 on 4 and 3 on 5 situations (including the goal). Varela looked great, as he did in his brief...
