Awesome tune. You're probably right. Probably works better as a description than it does as a label, as it were.

He's on fire, and this is his moment, eh. I particularly liked this passage: childrentalking's recording of the new Villalobos tune Zieheuer Fizheuer seemed to get a mixed reception here, and by his own admission it's a poor transcription... But it seems to me that Sherburne's analogy...

I watched a great documentary on the emergence of techno last week, High Tech Soul. They're all in it: the Bellevue 3, Jeff Mills, Eddie Fowlkes, Anthony Shakir, Blake Baxter, Jeff Mills, blah... even the Electrifying Mojo filmed in mysterious silhouette form. hamarplazt should know that's it's...

Holy Mother of Fuck. Anyone got a spare pair of pants?

The Moldy Peaches. The bit towards the end of "Nothing Came Out" where the phone starts ringing in the background and they're stifling giggles is one of my favourite things of all time.

I think noel emits pretty much nails the main points about this movie, but... Yeah, I'd have to say it fairly blew me away. I saw it yesterday afternoon at the Odeon Leicester Square - almost empty, plonked myself smack dab in the middle of the audiorium for maximum sonic impact, and it made...

Thought people might enjoy Lasse Gjertsen's 15 minutes of fame.

Have you seen Hawtin lately? Depending on your point-of-view, it's either an abortive attempt to attain the same level of beauty as La Villalobos, or a distinct improvement on the asceticism of Hawtin version 1.0...

Oh yes. Spot on. Another amazing movie.

We finally got around to watching Brick last night, and what can I say, but: wow. It's got to be the most confident and precisely executed movie I've seen since Cache (albeit a very different beast). The whole thing was just perfectly pitched. I think the transposition of noir genre onto the...

Un-fucking-believable. I love the way US law enforcement professionals equate a surly 'bad ass' attitude with a heightened state of security. The wife & I encountered this all the way through Newark airport not long after 9/11. Makes you realise how professional their British counterparts...

I so wanted this movie to be good. And especially since Sight & Sound made it their cover feature, I thought it was pretty reasonable to expect something good. But, christ, what an interminable ball-ache of a movie. Fuck all screen time betw Crockett & Tubbs (WTF!?), with Jamie Foxx left with...

I've got a Manchild 12", which has a couple of amazing remixes on it: one by Massive Attack, the other by Smith & Mighty. Awesome stuff. The singles were pretty much all awesome - I just don't think they play that well together.

I'd have been totally with you on this, swears, but I stuck it on the other week for the first time in years; and every single tune finds her wittering on, effectively, about how the children are the future, got to break the cycle of hate, got to give them kids a chance, blah blah...

So long as it's still recognisably him, I think this sounds facking great :) swears, this is so so true. Case in point: the new Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi mix, this time from Luciano. Anyone else feeling this? In particular, the filth triumvirate that is Framework by Altitude > Eje Central by Lineas De...

Hmmmmm. Not splitting hairs, I don't think. Hombre Ojo and a lot of Panytec stuff is definitely glitchy, which I love. I've always found there to be something innately funky about microhouse; each cut just makes you want to jack your body, eh? :) But, say, Dandy Jack and Villalobos, and...

I dunno, I think Perlon has been representing the genre well for the last 5 years or so, and image-wise it's very very strong. Maybe not in the grander scheme of things yet. But at the very least, if any label's gonna carry it thru, it's Perlon. Did I mention that I think Perlon are the bomb...

This is my favourite bit: Inflatable dolls: yup, that's some level 5 security risk, right there...

Matt Hanson, one of the founders of the annual onedotzero festival, is trying to do something potentially very interesting: inspired by the Million Dollar Homepage and such like, he's using the web to raise cash and find collaborators to make a movie. In his own words: For a minimum donation...

Jon Pleased Wimmin, anyone? Who, it seems, now looks like this: Ponce.
