In Order to Dance 2-5 (R&S)

Did they say anything about the truth, that we have to give up a big part of our wealth to end poverty?

:D Didn't catch this post at the time.. You're right actually: fair trade biological (dunno the proper english term) coffee with lots of sugar. :) Yes, sorry. Exactly. The racism only comes in when a wo/man has racist ideas, which then distort her/his initial sexual 'judgement'.

this may sound strange, but I really like the declamations of phone numbers!

sorry ;) great plasticman interview btw!

Jentina and Miss Sovereign

Isn't the actual reason that, while 'knowing you are so wonderfully hip' it is completely uncool to proclaim that you are a hipster, even in America? That it is uncool to stress your coolness?

I'd say this is exactly a tendency of the hipster modus vivendi: eating raw vegetables instead of carefully prepared dishes, reading newspapers instead of books. The typical hipster consumes the grapes du jour instead of enjoying a vintage wine. This is my first problem with hipsterism: blinded...

Brilliant idea.

I guess someone must have told him by now. Plasticman got quite a bit of exposure with the Grime compilation and his remix of Rocker, probably the biggest techno hit of the past couple of years. Basically, I think if he wanted to sue, he would have done it by now.

Plasticman not knowing Plastikman vs LCD Soundsystem knowing the entire history of popmusic. Interesting vs boring. We need more artists who didn't already download the entire dance music corpus. It seems to blind them, updating the old seems more logical than exploring new possibilities. A bit...

Yeah, the lower the freq the more useless stereo gets because the ears/brain cannot discern the direction where the sound is coming from (I think this is why there's one single subwoofer in the middle of the studio, not on both sides). Plus vinyl can't have low freqs in stereo, the needle can't...

But the width is gone, it's sacrificing width for supposed depth. In articles about (electronic) music production, like in Sound On Sound, depth is afaik never associated with stereo width, rather with reverb, in the first place. Reverb, because you're mimicking real acoustic spaces. The more...

Yeah, this shows the environmental and human destruction that comes with buying coke. It also shows Monsanto's Janus face again. One side of the company is making people ill, the other sells them expensive medicines. This was also mentioned by Herbert, I believe in a The Wire interview. At least...

The change of that being the case is of course close to zero, while with drugs you are guaranteed to fund the violence. It's simple: at the beginning of the chain are the cartels. If you eventually get the coke, it's pretty much guaranteed that the cartel, paramilitaries/Farc, the smugglers etc...

Yes. I believe the U.S. have often used the drugs-trade as a reasoning for their actions in Colombia. Whether real reaon or just an excuse, the war on drugs has been one of the ways they could convince politicians of the need of military aid, interventions etc in Colombia. So that's one of the...

Yes the Bush administration is responsible for a lot of violence worldwide. What I'm saying is that buying colombian drugs is a direct way of 'funding' the violence. Voting Bush would be another effective way of promoting violence.

Not in my book, because having a chicken raised and killed for you, is something else than the very real possibility of someone having to kill a human being for you. Basically, everybody knows that people get killed by drugs mafia, and that violent regimes are substantially funded with drugs...

I believe salt is an ingredient of all normal bread. At least here in the Netherlands salt is put in almost all bread. Saltless bread is for patients on a diet and everybody hates the strange taste.

Then let me replace that passage with: addiction during pregnancy producing addicted children with mothers who cannot take care of them. Actually… scrap that, for this is not really my point. It is not really about the effects of drugs on users. That’s their own choice, although a whole lot of...
