i was just kidding, having noticed the rare and scornful 1 star rating that metallica earned ;)

best post ever! :D

ha ha no talking about metallica. only self-referential post-everything hipster rock is allowed. or safer yet just sticking to grime... (cue rockism thread)

metallica rulez! i just wanted to say that. ...and justice is definitely the sentimental favorite for me, but master of puppets is truly epic.

Alec Empire's contributions to those Electric Ladyland compilations around 95/96 were pretty spectacular. I always appreciated him more down at hip hop tempo rather than jungle, personally. The apocalyptic industrial drones and post-rave distorted synths punctured by mangled breakbeats at 95 bpm...

Anybody going to this thing tonight? Sounds promising... Noise from Underground: Pop Criticism and Cred in the Era of MP3s, Zines, and Blogs March 29, 2005; 6:30 pm Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism Lecture Hall, Third Floor 116th Street and Broadway Admission free Moderator...

Wowzers this is largeness. I see that Joe re-stocked his ammo on the trip over for DMZ.

Personally I can't wait for 80's nostalgia to end. Do we really have to return to battery-guzzling machines and tapes that get warped in the sun for the sake of fashion? I'll take my 10,000 songs in my pocket over that any day, while my dusty box of REM cassettes collects dusts in the basement

I had a similar experience seeing Sonny Rollins play after taking mushrooms. He had a shiny red shirt on and the glow of his shirt started to spread outward like a hazy glow over the whole stage when he really started to cook. Heavy show.

Dolly Parton - "I Will Always Love You" = heart-achingly perfect

Would love to hear this "Eurocrunk" defined... Haven't heard that one before. I'm just picturing Lil John in his Love Parade alter ego.

Bob James maybe? not sure if he has a reputation for cheese though. and how about artists not usually regarded as cheesy who should be?... McCoy Tyner's solo work Chick Corea Most Alice Coltrane

To all NYC massive who have been interested in the burgeoning grime scene that has been percolating here around the Bangers & Mash parties, check out my interview with the mans working overtime to make it happen --> Team Shadetek - who also have a promising label in the works and a unique vision...

Despite the growing chasm between the present and everyone's honeymoon with E, and even if people aren't rolling at parties anymore, I feel like E permanently re-wired everyone's brains in a way that is still strongly felt in all post-rave music today, including grime, but probably more...

This was a big night for sure. The energy in the room when Jammer/D-Double took the stage was staggering. On wax I honestly never loved D-Double, but he commanded serious respect on the mic last night. Big up Shadetek for putting together another big B&M night!

there

this is a great topic... i remember reading an interview w/ lfo or nightmares on wax (i believe in your book simon) where they were obsessing over how many layers/frequencies of massive bass they could squeeze onto a single record. this moment in the house continuum where a reggae-inspired...

Look out for that new (ehem...) Jennifer Lopez joint called "Get Right" w/ Fabolous. The production is seriously on point, with some heavy drum editing.

I hear ya appleblim. I wasn't really getting the full magnitude of loefah's productions when I first heard 'em. Even the ones on Grime 2 I originally used to pass over until I recently had an awakening of sorts when I played 'Bombay Squad' out on a big soundsystem and it smashed it.
