    When did dubstep lose the plot?

    The cockney thug thing last year, once that sound had got linked to that 'hilarious' style it was pretty much over. Plenty of other interesting hybrids going on but i think the sort of pure dubstep from 05/06 is over. It was dubstep's rhubarb & custard cartoon moment

    Why do people get Rothko but not Stockhausen?

    I'd like to read this book but reading the criticisms here i'm not sure. This issue has been around a while. Look at any arts TV show and you'll find the same problem whereby serious music is not addressed. I suppose TV isn't really the right medium for Stockhausen. Comparing the two artists...

    Do Brits make the best breakfasts in the world?

    Despite what other's have written the most memorable breakfast i had recently was Frühstück in Berlin, beautifully presented sculpted fruit, cheese and wurst with delicious coffee and rolls. I had it at around 11 which seems like a good time for breakfast. Worked in Singapore for a bit and...

    Overwhelmingly joyful tunes

    At the time it was released The Cure certainly weren't on an ironic tip, this song enthuses with joy almost to the point of relishing the very despair they seek to convey. Inbetween Days - The Cure live @ Orange couldn't seem to find the original wacko vid.

    Good mp3 sites

    14 Tracks 14Tracks - Synth Funk Sampler They do some interesting other compilations, just listening off the site is enough for me but the tracks do have a sine tone every now and then. With alot of that aqua crunk stuff you'd never know any way :)

    Negative Energy

    i'm not entirely sure what we are discussing here, no i was merely point out how alot of other people might view it, darkness & negativity can simple be part of hedonism, there's about 50 thousand d'n'b records to prove this. It can be interpreted in many ways. It means different things in...

    Negative Energy

    ^^^^^ this this stuff exists coz of the other place people go to when drunk / stoned/ speeding OK if you wanna read other stuff into. The turning point many people think was Beltram's 'Energy Flash.' I think there's a definite link there with other dark d'n'b, dubstep, breakcore (example...

    playing smaller venues

    What a fkin racket ! ;) good though , i played the Dogstar in Brixton on thursday, mixed it up with singles & poppy dubstep, seemed to go down OK but the other folks were playing Desmond Dekker et al, yawn, how many times do you really need to hear all that stuff, i can't see see the point.

    playing smaller venues

    interesting thread, i'm doin a similar gig tomorrow night, i subconsciously filter things out, but the 'not too many non vocal things' is actually quite a good idea, if it's not a club this is probably wise advice, long dance music voyages aren't for pubs/bars coz people aren't in a space to...

    G20

    Police seemed remarkably restrained when i went past the Tamil protest right on parliament green. There were alot of police but not the kind of riot tactics being employed. If they'd been a bunch of anarchists flying illegal flags it would have been a lot different i'm sure.

    the (digital) hardcore continuum - no, seriously

    very much retired, doesn't do music, we're the same age and you wanna rest your ears at some point. I enjoyed seeing Empire at the ICA once, did a very good Iggy Pop styled rock set, really pulled it off. I don't think enough people know about the DHR stuff, especially the new breakcore...
