I've seen people complain about this app's cliched uses, e.g. that album by The Field seemed one that people commonly dismissed as sounding much too "Ableton". I was wondering, what are some of these cliches? Re: The Field, does Live let you sample-and-hold things rhythmically, e.g. snatch...

Thought this was interesting - must be where Slowdive got the cover imagery for Pygmalion. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"...

...surely this should never have happened? Dear cannot sing. Well, OK, he has a very distinctive character but he can't sing in tune and seems to have a range of about half an octave. He butchered one of my favourite Bowie songs ever. Stink.

A friend and I do kinda ambient house / trip-hop throwback stuff as Malty Media, trying to find something to call our own in the zone of what bods like Skylab, Major Force, The Orb, KLF were doing 15 years or so back... An animator used cut-up techniques to assemble a video for one track...

This is going to be a loose one, but for a couple of years now I've had this image of a kind of music that must surely exist and which I'd like to hear... but just have no starting point for exploring. Instrumental stuff, or at least not song-based Largely acoustic instrumentation - maybe a bit...

Hi, could probably post this in Film but guess there're more readers here... Anyone seen the doco 'Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell'? Did you find it interesting? It's playing at a film festival soon and was wondering about checking it out. Don't love Russell's stuff, but...

Hey, so I've heard a track a couple of times on the radio that's Gary Numan's 'Cars' but it's hip-hop and they're going on about their trucks. Is it Dilla? Sounds like it. Anyone got some details...? Should probably just google, but thought it was funny enough to bring to the attention of...

Hi, I have some credit on an MP3 shop which has a bunch of these compilations for ridiculously cheap and was wondering if anyone would recommend any of them. Not particularly excited about buying whole riddim albums, but keen to hear of any big tunes or just particularly good riddims...

Crikey, this apparently debuted at number one in Oz. Not bad. Anyway, I think it's great. First album was pretty patchy, but find this one a real rush. Some of the goodness of it reminds me of what I thought I should like about bands like Phoenix - MOR vibes modernised to take into account...

Jet Jaguar - Biddy Bids (An EP of my stuff ) If anyone likes kinda glitchy downbeat stuff, the net label Monotonik has released an EP of 5 MP3s. http://www.mono211.com/content/releases/mtkmp198.html The label's blurb: "So, a long-awaited Monotonik solo debut from New Zealand's Michael Upton...

Electro - used to mean breakdance music, Newcleus etc. and as picked up by Drexciya etc. Now it means Vitalic and house music with distorted sawtooth synth lines to some people, and Hot Chip & Junior Boys to others. What happened to synth pop? What short-hand to use? Electro funk? Minimal...

Saw his latest album is available for only US$2 currently if you like MP3s... http://amiestreet.com/artist/10235 Not some rolling scam.

Just stumbled upon this collaboration today. How long has this been in the offing? http://www.myspace.com/vonsudenfed Pretty boring vid for a pretty boring song on there... but then I'm not much a fan of Mr. Smith, and haven't really enjoyed Mouse On Mars for ... maybe 10 years. Why am I...

Was a bit surprised to hear that Cale has covered All My Friends, the really Cale-sounding song off the latest LCD Soundsystem album.

I've got a mix up at Percussionlab. http://www.percussionlab.com/Sets/JetJaguarShow.shtml Tracks: AtomTM - Violence In.... (Inflatabl) Lukas Nystrand & KarlMagnus Johansson - Untitled R&B instrumental (Disciples of Ageema Blues) Jet Jaguar - Unco Drummer (unreleased) Aspen - This is Why...

Hey, my mate dave was banned near the end of January and he has no idea why, so I offered to ask about it. I sent an email to woebot via his profile asking about it, but I guess he's flat chat. Could anyone shed some light on it? This isn't supposed to be anything sulky or argumentative, it...

Couldn't see anything about this, surely a Dissensus wet dream? Well, for some... EP due out on the 10th of April. Junior Boys - Dead Horse EP 01 In the Morning (Hot Chip Remix) 02 FM (Tensnake Remix) 03 Like a Child (Carl Craig Remix) 04 Double Shadow (Kode9 Remix) 05 FM (Marsen Jules Remix)

Been enjoying this free album: Glenny417 - Find Out What You've Been Missing Maybe Avalanches are a bit lame, but this is a bunch of short, sketchy instrumentals with lots of late 70s/early 80s soul and disco cut ups. I think the guy's been listening to a lot of Dilla's 'Donuts', but it's a...

Any comments on Paper Tigers? (This has been released outside Japan already, I think?) I know the dude's Luomo moniker has some fans on here. I thought his last Uusitalo album was like Vocalcity without the pop elements, and consequently a bit dull, but am pretty impressed with Paper Tigers...
