    The GAY rapper/HIPHOP question

    rap/hiphop seem to be the last fronteir that an OUT GAY artist has not penetrated the genre to any substantial effect. Sure they gotta have a whack sound to back up their identity politics, but it still hasn't happened and may never will - and I'm not talking a GAY WHITE RAPPER, ok? Anyway I'm...

    Is SoulSeek inherently evil?

    I haven't played in a band for over 10 years, but I still buy music (though not as much). I don't know how badly this affects indie bands, since I don't even understand how indie bands/acts sell music these days or how severely has the field changed. I remember how when the label my band was on...

    Mercury Rev/Flaming Liups are the most 'important' village voice bands of the 00's

    So I hear this innaresting piece on the public radio, ring the DJ and he tells me it's 'animal Collective'. And just like a sigh out of a Todd Haynes movie comes a MASSIVE HYPE about them in the Village (idiots) Voice!!! So I check 'em out. Feh! They sound like bloody Mercury Rev...It seems a...

    Favourite, most UPLIFTING songs

    Strip away all the innerlectyul rubbish and leave behind songs that promote the simple function of music : to UPLIFT PEOPLE (and an undogmatic humanistic, even spiritualistic means)!!! SO I'm curious to know what songs basically 'do it' for you dissensus, here's a selection of my goose-pimple...

    'New' Village Voice 'rock' crits are admiarably hopeless

    'New' Village Voice 'rock' crits are admirably hopeless Thing I like about the Internerd is that I can get all the hot info dreck hot from the asshole of the 'hip' centres of the world that speak Engerlisch (so being a form 1-3 french failure I can only speak and read English)... ANYWAY, I've...

    WANTED! Sonny Sharrock quintet w/ Pharoah Sanders live DC, 1993 recording

    I recently found this online, however the 'bootleg' has horrible CD skips which is driving me totally INSANE, especially in light of the AWESOME flow of this set. It's basically the Sonny Sharrock Quintet with Pharoah Sanders performing live @ DC World Jazz Festival in 1993. Both are in...

    Gang of BORE (Sore, Snore, Whore etc..)

    Just read the Reynold piece on the nu GO4 rec, and it was way, way too polite (paid gig, so you gotta be). That new po-mo 'joke' is the worst piece of SHIt I think ever released anywhere!! They have completely FUCKED UP one of the best 80s, whiteboy, dunce dance tracks 'i love a man in...

    Loved 'neon rain' and yearn for more. Could any fans recommend some of his finer, tougher, darker books? Cheers B6

    Bootleg Nation

    I've always loved live bootlegs, and while not as fanatical as some, I have spent reasonable money on stuff - maybe 40 bucks for the 'Smile' bootleg, the Dylan 'Live66 Royal Albert Hall' before it got an 'official' release and some Stones live boots from the early 70s and of course tonnes of...

    Another UK 'invented' genre, apparently..

    Well pull yer bongs out - ACID FOLK, prolly the 'coolest' indie genre going these days, and the UK influence profound - Roy Harper, Fairport Convention, Bert Jench, nick drake, Cat Stevens etc... etc...but sorry to soil yr party, as Dylan, Leo Kotke, John Fahey were doing it long, long before... :p

    Pr0n - what is it good for?

    I like pr0n. I know it's unhealthy, and it degrades women and it creates a wrong attitude to women (and men) and sex. It has nothing to do with love apparently. But I like wanking off to it, and it helps me explore carnal ideas. I'm generally heterosexual so my favourite stars are: Brigitte...

    PINK FAIRIES - readjust yr UK 'rockism'

    Ditto. On song, the BEST and PUREST UK rockist band of all time. Despite being ripoffs of the MC5, there is little doubt they paved the way for Motorhead, Maiden, UK metal and the like. They alos out-rocked, out-psyched and outdroned Hawkwind, Deep Purple, Led Zep etc.. UKs ORIGINAL proto-punks.

    The worst music ever...

    Here in Australia, we have a free-to-air music show call Rage, that generally plays more left-field music late at night, most of the bands you never hear from again beyond their video clips. Anyway last night they had some of the worst music I think I've ever seen, amongst yr horribly...

    Are CRIME best effin 'real' punk band or what?

    Can't get enough of this mob. Pioneering SF punks playing chugga-chugga punk rock with guitar solos that go fo rthe whole song and enough 'modernist' chord changes and simplicity to keep Richard Hell and Voidoid abstractionists and Ramones purists equally happy. top shelf.
