thought i'd give advance notice to the dissensus community in nyc starting on saturday may 14th there'll be late night parties at xxxxx the 14th, then monthly admission will be more or less free up until 2 or 3 am -- i.e., people w/ bottles of booze will be most welcome -- then probably $10...

i imagine i'll get two kinds of groans for this one first, b/c it's another thread on lady sov second, b/c i'm mentioning badiou in the music section = how boorish! however, the menta remix of lady sov's "random" is one of the very few grime records i've actually purchased -- mainly b/c of...

thought i'd report some impressions from the field . . . . dj dinesh and mr. poole had their first friday night gig at white rabbit last night ----- greg had been playing old-school funk at white rabbit on wednesdays, but now looks like he and dinesh will be playing there regularly on fridays ...

or in the hope that i'll either be confirmed in my enthusiasm, pointedly disagreed with, or told that they're decent or even quite good but not all that i've claimed for them . . . . in other words, so that we can get a second opinion around these parts . . . . an opinion other than my ranting...

So I went out to see Stelfox & Ripley last night -- had the wrong night! -- it's next week -- (errrr, may have to miss the show cause my mother's coming to town despite my attempts to discourage her from visiting w/ utmost tact and diplomacy) . . . . the dj playing at the Bunker was Dan Bell...

over in the music section the notororious j.i.m. mentioned an article on bleep & bass in wikipedia, which then led to my investigating the wikipedia links about various uk cities -- talk about bloody confusing!!! so we have this about Bradford: "The Bradford Metropolitan District...

1991 is my all-time favorite year for music and if i have had a constant ambition in life, it has been to track down records from this year the other day jimbackhouse identified "precaution" for me, so now i'm newly hopeful that other people on dissensus may be able to identify tracks --...

this thread is an offshoot of the bleep 'n' bass thread, which then turned into a discussion of belgian hardcore . . . . i had asked about this track w/ a sample that goes "we are taking every precaution" over a breakbeat, which jimbackhouse then identified as: my compulsions then took over...

talk about wicked

thought i'd mention this film in connection with the maya/m.i.a. threads over in the music section . . . . "the terrorist" is an indian film, directed by Santosh Sivan, that was released in 1998 and is loosely based on the assassination of rajiv gandhi . . . . it's in the Tamil language w/...

that is, did people actually refer to lfo, unique three, etc, as "bleep n bass" back in 1990? or was the term invented at some point in the mid-90s (perhaps after term "drum n bass" gained currency) to describe the earlier sound? that is, would all that is now called "bleep n bass" have been...

picking up where the "decline" thread left off, i thought i'd bring to people's attention the link to this site: http://www.stern.nyu.edu/globalmacro/simple_content_frame.php if you have the time and actually understand economics (unlike me), then perhaps read the articles by the people who...

saw dj cameo last night and was very impressed -- the music far surpassed my expectations -- perhaps because i'm a rave-ist at heart . . . . that is, there's some question as to whether dj cameo skewed his set to please American ears by playing the more dance-oriented grime stuff . . . . but...

I've been try to push Kudu for a while now. They're utterly poptastic and have wicked voodoo rhythms. Here's a link to their site, where you can hear soundbites: www.kudu2u.com For anyone who might be interested, I write about Kudu on my new blog, which address is...

Came across this article entitled "Contretemps: Derrida's Ante and the Call for Marxist Political Philosophy," by a certain Richard Joines. Not sure when the article was written. "Specters of Marx" came out in 1994, and "Marx and Sons" came out in 2002 . . . . It's all a bit too conspiratorial...

DJs Josey and James have a new night at Anatomy, a small bar (with basement) on 5th Street b/w A &B. Josey, who sings reggae professionally, is best known for organizing and djing the reggae night at Lotus on the LES. James, aka "Jungle Jimmy," is from somewhere in England, and used to...

Heard this record this weekend. Thought it wonderful. UK garage with pop chops. 100% sugar content. Anyone familiar with it? Also, heard last night that my favorite NYC dance band Kudu got signed by XL recordings
