Endless Summer is one of those albums that I've been recommend a million times, so I bought it, and I listened to it a lot, and I just could not get into it. Just baffled.

Can anyone recommend some more melodic glitch stuff?

Available for another week here. Christopher Hitchens on Leon Trotsky - in the last five minutes he starts arguing with Matthew Parris, it's showerfaces all round - includes the following gem: HITCHENS: I think we're finished. PARRIS: No, we're not. HITCHENS: Well, I have to be somewhere at...

What, compared to the relentless self-abasement of mainstream hip hop?

Totally agree that this is the attitude behind broadsheet music coverage - anyone have any thoughts on why it is? I suppose it's partly self-fulfilling - if people are told that Arctic Monkeys is the best thing in pop music, then obviously they're going to see pop music as a medium which they...

Cheers - would like some grime as well.

The people who used to do Jockey Slut are now making Dummy magazine which is excellent even though it has Carl Barat on the front.

It's such a shame that when people like Villalobos come to London they almost always play at Fabric, where the 10% of the people who are there to see Villalobos have to queue for hours because of the 90% of people who would go no matter who was DJing.

what should it be? Not counting the Dubstep Warz/Various Prods/Burial Breezeblocks which I already have.

I definitely hear parallels between dubstep and Joy Division - focus on the bass, screechy hi-end, reverbed and over-compressed drums, general sense of emptiness and desolation...

I read an interview in the Guardian with some 60s Hammer horror film director who admitted that he was aroused by seeing blonde women wearing blood-stained white dresses, so he'd worked that into every film he ever made.

Fortress of Solitude I thought was spectacularly good, short story collection okay, and Motherless Brooklyn pretty awful.

I think Zak Sally is on hiatus because of mental health issues so they've got a new bassist.

Not sure which thread this should go in but Foreign Beggars have vocalled a track from Degenerate by Vex'd on their new mixtape and it's not at all bad.

Wasn't necessarily the journalist's fault.

The band not the Bowie album. Any fans? Saw them do 'Things We Lost in the Fire' at Koko in Camden on Thursday as part of Don't Look Back thing, it was great. They're one of those bands where I just have no idea how popular they really are.

Maybe people are going back to the production techniques, but there's something about those synth pop chord sequences that instantly dates anything in which they're found - no one's really exhuming those.

So if Burial's middlebrow what's highbrow?

I love Endtroducing and I hate the new album. Is there actually anyone who likes both?

Add Seba and Fracture & Neptune. But yeah what about that Robert Manos? His vocals are just the worst corporate-motivational-video neo-soul I've ever heard!
