    Reynolds hardcore continuum event

    it is a limited metaphor, and maybe the HM GOVTs metaphor that i quote above is more apt. however, i think the reason reynolds has used the term "continuum" is because the system--after the founding collision of house, techno, hip hop, reggae--has been remarkably self-contained, though not...

    Animal Collective

    contemporary with the new "positivity" bands, however, is a new crop of "dark" and rather "trad" psych rock bands------>the Black Angels out of Austin, Texas, and A Place to Bury Strangers out of New York, a movement arguably initiated a few years by the much-maligned Black Rebel Motorcycle...
