    another poke in the US/UK pop music challenge: 'naturalism'

    Guitar TONE was pretty much lost throughout the whole Eighties. I think maybe Montrose is the only one who had a nice fat tone. No digital plug-in can compete with a huge stack of Marshalls....

    Minimal techno blowing up

    God I hate genre names. There should only be two, "kick-ass" and "eh" Just give me a killer beat and somthing to move me, like Julie McKnight's vocal on "Finally" by Kings of Tomorrow. Or that Baby-D song... Let Me Be Your Fantasy

    Sharam. Ok then. When I saw the cover I was like, "cool, Squarepusher doing prog house trance". No luck. But I was really hoping for George Acosta. So who's gonna mix GU30????????

    The next new thing.....

    I wonder why there is a desire for the Next Big Thing when we have a super-over-abundance of musics and styles right now? If you know yourself and know what you like then you must be in hog heaven. But I guess if you are a scene-watcher your time is up...

    The next new thing.....

    In this instant global communication age. What CAN be new? Name me just one thing that lay hidden, uncovered, unknown. The only true NEXT BIG THING would be caused by something like visitation by aliens from another planet, or some stupid music rule that kids stubbornly adopt, like only...

    A riddle...

    My father was a dreadlocked rude-bwoy who set off from his homeland on a mission to destroy Babylon, with nothing but an Amen break, a sine-wave generator, and a gunshot sample in his hemp backpack. He wandered upon a strange lush land where my mother walked with a deep 4/4 thump, her hair a...

    OK time to fess up

    by the way... Thanks for the give and take, Zhao. It's fun to argue (in the good sense) about things you are passionate about. But I was wondering... what propted you to write your "Against Subjectivity" blogpost in the first place. Did you encounter some horrendous art in some gallery you...

    Finally: Now That's What I Call Vocal Grime

    I’m just an old man living in the US. I bought The Streets’ Original Pirate Material after reading all the press over here. Frankly, it blew my mind. Then I bought Dizzee’s albums and it blew my mind as well. I had never heard that kind of raw, inventive ‘techno’ before. I sure was hoping...

    Lankavatara Sutra The words of the Buddha... The mind-system which is the source of the evil out-flowings consists of the five sense-organs and their accompanying sense-minds (vijnanas) all of which are unified in the discriminating-mind (manovijnana). There is an unending succession of...

    Trance/Progressive House -- breaking news, slander, lies, etc...

    So... Are there any Trance/Prog soundheads here at all?? No fans, lovers or defenders? Maybe someone who fancies a bit of proper old school house, so we can meet half-way? Jeesh... if your not listening to prog house all day long (like me) then what in blazes do you listen to all day?

    OK time to fess up

    Looks to me that this is exactly what you are arguing for.... I think maybe you are confusing "art" with "craftsmanship". I think that great craft can be great art. But "art" can also encompass things like "genius" or "divine intervention" or "protest" or "dadaism", things I suppose are very...

    OK time to fess up

    To Zhao... hmmm... I recognize the face but not the name.... OH! It's you Confucius! My point is that Wesley Willis does not measure up to any possible widely held standards for great art... and yet... he's friggin GREAT! How can this be?
