    Could Dissensus breed terrorists?

    Now I wonder what type of music this mother/father/Allah-fucker was into? Was he a rock fan , I wonder? Was he disgruntled with the horrible dominance of corporate rock/rnb? Did he think he could be the Islmaist Kurt Kobain? Was he making a statement against (insert cuntry) IDOL? Was he...

    Favourite rock writers - and why?

    I don't read as much about music as I used to , though right now I'm reading that 'Bass Culture' book about reggae & Jamaica...I guess I use the Net as the main source for reading about music. Except for maybe 'the wire', all the magazines and fanzines in print are fucken useless, the last...

    Israel army radio plugin for Firefox

    I've been listening to Israeli Army radio - Galei tzahal - via the Firefox plug-in..Interesting how 'soft cock' the music is for a pack of arrogant, colonialist oppressors. The play alot of 'alternative' music, which puts to rest the notion of 'alternative' or 'left field' music having some sort...

    anyone read any JONATHAN LETHEM?

    He's becopme tres-chic with the hoity-toity tutti-fruity VVoice/Salon set, so I immediately had a gag reflex to vomit. He'd been compared to Anyway I bought a handful of remainders of his the titles: FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE GIRL IN LANDSCAPE AMENSIA MOON. So far only read AMNESIA MOON and I...

    White Mice

    While happily perusing my latest ForcedExposure catalogue update, I noticed the ubiquitous and fantastic Basic Replay mob have re-released more wonderful obscure top-shelf reggae-dub, the latest a series of 7" by THE WHITE MICE. I've never heard of them, but they are reported to be a the cusp of...

    Recently picked up the CRUEL BUT FAIR 3CD set of the whole LAUGHING CLOWNS catalogue. For those that don't know the LAUGHING CLOWNS one of Australia's pioneering 'post=punk' bands, formed by the pioneer ED KUEPPER of one of the worlds pioneering punk band the mighty SAINTS (they're kinda like...

    I'm leaving Dissensus.

    I've had enough of this place. It's depressing. It's lost the initial interest factor why I came here first : to chat, argue and be informed about cool music (mainly). There's no really interesting music posts anymore, it's always about bloody dull flat techno music. I read the posts then track...

    Does 'pop' music date?

    I reckon not. I mean people bagged 80s pop and now it's referred to as cutting edge. and commercial music may - like Michael Boltin or Billy joel or Elton John, but then so does 'underground' music, like some of the ardkore stuff, and early techno and even 80s guitar bands with their crunchy...

    SISTER RAY (the song) discussion

    I was listening to this track again last night in quite an imbibed state, and maybe it's whats going on in the world right now, but I find that it's still one of the greatest rock n' roll jams ever put onto tape, still to this day. I find it even more incredible that the song, if not the album...

    Oi! bands...

    I was chatting with an an ex-pat Pom friend of mine the other week about Oi! music. I mean my first impression of Oi! is that it's basically some sort of neo-Nazi post-punk..But it's more than that, rather the speed-and-booze blare of agro-working-class men. I guess Oi! was very much the...

    the WILLIAM SEWARD BURROUGHS thread

    I must admit I only got into Burroughs in a big way in the last 2 years, ignoring most of his stuff because of the disgusting bad taste 'beatnik' literature left in my mind as a late -teen Of his work, I *LOVE* his 'cut-up' trilogy of Soft Machine, Ticket That Exploded and Nova Express, with...

    mellow classical music with piano - Feldman?

    Was wondering if anyone could recommend some mellow, minimalist classical music with piano. I've been listending to Mark Hollis's solo album and Michael Nymans's 'Decay Music' and Ligeti's stuff off the 'Eyes Wide Shut' soundtrack and was wondering which composers did work of a similar nature...

    Trendy NME/MM/etc type groops that actually sound good NOW!

    You know the type, NME 'darlings', Melody Maker (RIP) darlings, and even those techno magazines from the 90s darlings...The bands that came in the wake of others ie: Smiths imitators, MBV imitators, grunge imitators, Coldplay imitators, Libertines imitators etc..etc... I'm trying to find bands...

    Sleater Kinney break up : about time!

    The most over-rated politically-correct shitty indie Toyah Wilcox ripoff band of all time, only to be matched by Guided By Voices, finally break up. Seen this band twice, both times they were terrible. Can never understand why people loved this band so much, I mean were they really any better...

    good books on THE BEATLES

    I've never dived right into the whole BEATLES thing, maybe coz they were so fucken commercial and massive and didin't necessarily appeal to my counter-culture tendencies.. etc..etc..But I've always wondered why there have never been any really raw, insightful and even intellectual books written...

    Is hiphop a form of post-punk?

    I ask this because of hiphop's initial 'melting pot' nature, the fact that it is so easy to make like punk and it's use of guitars/mash in the early DefJam stuff and BDP...Also I remember quite distinctly that Public Enema were referred to as 'the Clash of hiphop' but they've since changed that...

    a question about the Smiths 'queen is dead' song

    Since I got the day orf down here fro the trollope's birthday, in the Smith song 'the queen is dead', Morrissey says something like 'I broke into her palace with a sponge and ruster spanner..' or something? Is this about that bloke who broke into the Queens bedroom and sat on her bed in the 80s?
