the funny thing about 'instructing' us all as to what was going down 140,000 or 2,000,000 million years ago, MISTER ZHAO, is that YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE, silly guy. No evidence FOR or AGAINST anything at the level of food, society, and organization. I mean, tell me, what evidence exists for...

You're totally right, gag = wrong word. 'embarrassed' maybe ? ... anyway, I really wanted to like that book, I had already fallen in love with it by the time I opened it (bit backwards there), and then upon reading it, I felt ripped off by teh interwebs : are you freaking kidding me? *this*...

He probably just re-read More Brilliant Than the Sun and gagged. A sensible response! I thought he edited art books now or something.

I agree with you that from today's perspective the production of a 'resistent' or ire-inducing aesthetic object with no other purpose or merits would be a copout. Today, that kind of thing is everywhere - in his time, on major labels, not so much. You may doubt his intentions if you like (I...

k, two more cents' worth, nomad-stylee - if you lived through/were interested in the avant in the 70s & 80s, it's a classic . you don't have to like it, 'course. but it's a classic for good reason, and easily holds up to drop-the-needle real time scrutiny in discussion & analysis, which is...

Must admit that I am surprised by the hostility compared to enormous amounts of abstract music popular these days (noise, electronica, electroacoustic, wotever), Metal Machine Music is quite tame, even melodic in whole vast sections. I don't listen to it very often, but I certainly do not find...

what silliness you utter, but I'm not at all surprised at least u didn't say "LOU REED LIKE ALL OTHER MUSICAL PHENOMENA IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE REALLY CAME FROM AFRICA" but u probably will :D

No way! Heroes del Silencio ! "Entre Dos Tierras" is tuuune . , summer of '94 ... cute lil' gee-tar solo too, haha cheese is good , mmm GLOBAL FLANGE

Stockhausen referred to this part of his corpus as "intuitive music." Sounds corny but I heard an incredible performance last year of a piece from this period. info and interview here: http://www.stockhausen.org/intuitive_music.html

u hv been going thru a lot of clasik threadz 2nite i see, but be sure to go all the way to the beginning, b/c dissensus in its first year was BAD FUCKING ASS and realy interesting, although it had its share of tools from the beginning too . PEACE .

i mean as far as 'shreds' go that one is pretty doggoned clever, somehow it touches something reel ddeep inside . the silences where biden and obama are looking back with 'feigned serious interest and appreciation' are THE BEST moments in this alternate version of reality ... , no? somehow i...

inaugural shred if only it were true ... : (this one's brilliant, really)

the reason for these crap crap crap neolo-jisms has, of course, been painfully obvious for a long time: these 'critics' (suppresses giggles) seem to think that inventing a new word somehow substitutes for an actual ARGUMENT or significant discussion ... it's everywhere in british music criticsm...
