    Gripe about Revenant Records packaging

    Sure they do a nice job and all, but I just got 'American Primitive 2' and firstly the CDs seem to have stuck to the sleeve glue(!), and now the fookin thing tore as I was pulling em out! This is the nicest looking, but WORST packaging for discs since the Basic Channel 'tin' cases from a few...

    George Best

    SO the original 'rockstar' soccer player dies. Amidst it all I can't get the actual image of Wedding Present's classic 'Geroge Best ' album with the bloke on the cover. Made even more siginificant as it was the most blokey statement made by what could pass as the 'feyest' ('gayest') of indie...

    Let yer freak folk fly..

    Just read SR's article in the voice. As usual, love the werk - always one step ahead of the brat-pack. Personally I find the whole 'mystique' of the genre more compelling than the work itself, though Forced Exposure have been pushing the barrow for a long-long time. I see it as an extension of...

    HELP! With the name of a late 90s NYC band

    I've been puzzling for weeks with my 'REAL' non-internerd musical expert friends over the name of a late 90s NYC band... These are the clues and I'm certain someone here will know their name: 1. Late 90s NYC guitar band with retro-but-modern strong organ sound. 2. They sound a bit like The...

    Do any internationally known musicians come here?

    Since music is the main thrust of dissensus, I'm curious to know if any musicians come here. You don't have to name yrselfs, just the band or performing moniker will do. and also what style of music do you make specifically? Cheers B6

    Why doesn't anyone consider the positives of right-wing politics?

    Is this a democratic forum? Anyway, capitalism or 'right wing' politics has some positives. I know many musicians who do GREAT works and struggle really badly, and HATE file sharing. I mean we DON'T live in an anarchist society, and some musicians need to make a living and don't have a large...

    BOOGIE - a discussion

    People talk about the pleasures of muisc in various terms. To 'rock', 'swing' 'shake' etc... Personally I like stuff that BOOGIES. People here don't talk about the BOOGIE. Maybe it's not intellectual enough since it implies a basic physicality. Here's a definition from the InterNerd dictionary...

    New SuperGrass video

    Looks like a SPike Jonz 'weird banal dork America'-post-camp-but-we're-cooler-and-hipper- and-more interesting fucken pretentious job. It's basically around the generational passing of a 'Mermaid' tourist attraction in the South. Not sure if it's real or a 'mock' reality thing...ANYWAY the point...

    R.Meltzer digs...SCRITTI POLLITTI?!!

    They get bandied about a bit by SR, all I remember of them is 'Wood Beez' and once Mili Vanilli did a talksohow here in Australia, and one of them said they got their name from 'Scritti Polliti'! But I nearly had a coronary when I read that R.Meltzer, the unsung 'Godfather' of rock is a fan...

    Bloc Party vs. Moose

    I just saw the video to the new Bloc Party song. Earnest, trendy, 'intelligent' fluff, but they are liberally pinching from the shoegazer ethic, especially the fetishisation of guitar fx pedals - the unheralded tech-trademark of the whole shoegazer early 90s shtick...ANYWAY I've recently...
