This article, not its subject, is a very good example of irrationality and bad science.

interesting article. however ludicrously one sided and astoundingly arrogant in its complete dismissal of a massive body of knowledge based on flimsy "evidence". Holism is but a new term to make modern western people understand a traditional philosophy, a way of doing things, and it seems...

nah THAT one is like the time i passed out in the middle of the party on K and wasted 3 hours of my life. (which never happened)

thanks tyranny. but this: that's it right there. i'll be checking your suggestions... bigup!

Gravity is just like this time i walked out of the club at 6am after 12 glasses of scotch, struggling to get to a doorway to throw up 3 times, getting up after sitting for a while only to have the ground come up and punch me in the face... Trying to get home that morning was every bit as...

like most everyone i gave up on this for about 10 years. But a month ago i heard some new tunes and was like OK, maybe there can be new life. However The much conjectured Juke influence has not made itself felt in DnB much, if at all? and of course the vast majority of "liquid" and "neuro"...

Rectify. surprisingly good.

it is useful not only for me and Mr. Prashad, to make a distinction between Racism which has its roots in the early modern period, and previous forms of ethnocentrism and xenophobia. the very beginning of the BBC documentary "Racism: A History":

That Arab Baboon quoted is proof that biological racism can predate genetic science of the 19th century, and thus rendering your point that it could not have occured until the advent of genetics rather moot, no? Anyhow, there were surely many examples besides this Arab, of individuals which...

Which part of the Wiki i quoted above do you not understand, Tea? The non-issue issue you take is a waste of everyone's time.

Ethnocentrism: the idea that your culture is superior to others. Xenophobia: the fear of difference. Racism: idea that the human species is divided into races with shared traits, abilities, or qualities, such as personality, intellect, morality, or other cultural behavioral characteristics...

main point is that skin color was not a template for the delineation of difference until modern times, culture was. Neither did the invalid concept of "race", or biological difference based on skin color and other physical traits, even exist. Certain classes and circles in India or China or...

can't remember in which thread we had the discussion on whether racism always existed in human history or not. Basically Mr. Tea (and maybe a few others) were of the opinion that Racism is nothing new under the sun, and has always been with humanity since the dawn of time. While i very much...

say wtf you will, i enjoy stuff like this: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/one-night-in-the-life-of-a-bouncer

i think reality is a lot closer to the vast majority of people never questioning why the music they listen to have a particular kind of beat, or how it came to be that way; and just taking it for granted, as a given, as if it was "natural".

There is one peculiar thing which nearly all American music has in common - and the more one considers it, the more peculiar it becomes: an extensive emphasis on a unique rhythm, a rhythm very different from that to be found almost anywhere else in the world. It goes like this: Boom - Bap - Boom...

FUSION series connect global musical traditions and today's electronic dance sounds, and some volumes have been on the abstract side, often more cerebral and chin-stroking than the booty-popping physicality of NGOMA series. Not this one...
