    Improv is bad

    While I'm at this I may as well mention that Free Jazz is great, but where's the interest in listening to a form of music that makes a point of rejecting your interest. Free jazz is completely different.

    house and techno are bad

    this is something i need to get off my chest. 4/4 kicks are wrong. listening to planet rock last night it has the synth and drum machine that all the techno guys used but with, to my ears, a more interesting rhythm. there's a huge division in electronic music between 4/4 and non

    rectangle

    besides having the best name of any label ever (except possibly poker flat - best label name thread anyone? room tone?) rectangle was a wonderful label approximately 1999-2002. they went off when they started releasing CDs in my humble opinion. Noël Akchoté's first solo LP 'Pictures' is a...

    I've made two new DJ mixes. Noughties electronica, noise, improv over glitch and dense weirdness. 100% Hyph Mngo-free. They are here hosted by Sun OK Papi Ko of Scratch Pet Land.

    the unsexy Stock, Hausen & Walkman

    Funny to see these lot mentioned on Woebot's blog. They were doing a lot at one point, lofi sample cut up semi-pop, made from easy listening trash on their LP Organ Transplants. They also released oddities like the Buy Me / Sue Me 7", which is 50 or so locked grooves, each one a plunderphony of...

    Music documentaries

    I'm looking for some nice and fun documentaries about bands and music so that I can watch them. I've seen Dig! and the Lightning Bolt one, and I'm going to watch one about Bob Moog next. There's one about Luna that I haven't seen but it got me thinking about starting this thread. Recommendations...

    JD Salinger RIP

    "Against my better judgment I feel certain that somewhere very near here - the first house down the road, maybe - there's a good poet dying, but also somewhere very near here somebody's having a hilarious pint of pus taken from her lovely young body, and I can't be running back and forth forever...

    M John Harrison

    I've just read The Course of the Heart. I thought it was a bit like a cross between The Secret History and I dunno, Foucault's Pendulum maybe, a lot shorter than either though. I read Light a few years ago. What they've got in common that I like is a ton of baffling detail. They're full of very...

    akira rabelais

    Anyone remember this guy? He made Argeiphontes Lyre granular processing software a few years ago, only just checked out his music. Very nice, golden era of glitch electronics, plus classical piano, very odd yet thoroughly musical. Anything out there as weirdly normal as this? Nobody mention...
