Yes, also the sound of decayed record grooves - hiss crackle pop. and the musical saw, of course. the poor man's theremin?

don't neglect jason forrest/donna summer's longtime party The Birthday Party for some ridiculosity and high spirits one difference with Kreuzberg is that it as an older, more established history as a turkish neighborhood. Friedrichshain (although it has gotten a bit of an i think vietnamese or...

I don't like every single track he's done.. and he's done so so so many, so there's plenty to choose from. But he's one of my favorite producers in that his best ones are consistently way more interesting than most party music. Maybe you've only heard his mashups? his stuff is pretty darn...

I know, right? I was like "somebody give that man a hug" and the guardian article was all "is he crying because it wasn't him" ... how small-minded can you get?

oh man I miss squat parties the northern california campout scene is not so much my style.

I don't know if they qualify (or are what you are talking about) but this is what Starkey and Bird Peterson are for me.

Oh I meant to add I love you can comment on the soundfile and tie it to a particular section of the waveform. so you can say "i like this bit here" and actually tag the bit you like. Seems like it could potentially bring out the collaborative aspects of listening/playing/making.

cue dissensus' biannual "why we must talk a lot about hating MIA in a way that doesn't assess her as a musician but as some kind of media experiment" discussion :slanted:

who has anything to add to this?

I wouldn't assume a steampunk band is primarily electronic. I would hope for (and think appropriate) accordions/bandoneons, hand-cranked victrolas (or some contraption visibly powering the crank), musical saw, theremin, glass harmonica, steel cello, harry partch's instruments seem kinda...

I'm on there and it is pretty. not much to share but it's acting a bit like a dj pool as well.

and not the full purpose of government either.. re: enclosure - the argument hasn't extended, so far as I know, to the point that lots of historians say enclosure reduced productivity, so much as suggesting to start with than enclosure doesn't automatically increase productivity. Until fairly...

I don't think history is as unequivocal as all that. Many historians would suggest that the story about private vs. collective ownership is more complicated than one system just working better than the other. The evidence that privatization of collective enterprise (which is what often happened...

the Two Jakes is awful.

wow that is really creepy on that note (and a big influence on the Cramps) some of the Hasil Adkins stuff is creepy because he was such a freaking nutcase. http://rcs.law.emory.edu/rcs/artists/a/adki1000.htm

there was a whole spooky trend in 90s hip-hop.. i'm thinking of some of the Arsonist instrumentals (one called Lt. Worf & Chewbacca IIRC), and also Vadim.. and Jedi Mind Tricks, Company Flow had a great one that sampled The Hobbit (spookily). A lot of the backpacker stuff, especially the...

Alien - the first one is a great film about labor (both kinds) technology, trust, slobbery toothy things, the second (Aliens) is a great action flick like luka said, we have a pretty good thread on scifi but some of the classics Ursula LeGuin _the Dispossesed_ (as mentioned) and _The Left Hand...

Oh man, I used to read Datacide years ago from my breakcore hideout! woo! had no idea they had a conference. heee. for hotels, not sure, since I was mostly a couch-surfer when I was there. there's a hostel right on the prenslauer berg/mitte line - I think on Kastanienallee, that might also be...

I think of them as different but related. Miami being a subsection of booty. But I'm no expert - where does ghettotek/accelerated funk fit into this?

cheers dave! will be checking out the blog. good luck & hang in there
