    Jay-Z is killing off Glastonbury festival

    The way I see it is, oasis have spent their entire career aspiring to be a 'stars in their eyes' version of the Beatles so cant we just settle this and book dangermouse and have him perform the grey album.

    the wire

    by sidesteps alot of hype which many journalists rely on, the wire chooses to give attention and thought toward often neglected areas such as improv, noise etc. in opposition to lazy journalists who sit around waiting for a hype to build around a band or artist before giving them their stamp of...

    the wire

    I'm glad somebody else picked up on the wires treatment of dubstep, i'd picked up a recent issue in a news agent and read an article on benga which seemed badly written and researched. it seemed to infer that somehow 'night' had saved the dubstep scene from wobble heavy trite and impending...

    Portishead 3rd

    heard machine gun on 6 music today, what a fucking dope single, i love the harsh repeating motif with subtle automation and seemingly detached floating vocals, sounding very krautrock for some reason.

    soundproofing

    I have an extremely limited knowledge of acoustics but having worked in loads of recording studios and been in a few mastering rooms, it seem most modern recording recording studios are constructed so as too, isolate the sound within the room by building a room within a room so theres a cavity...

    Lost new season

    when anything is plausible it tends to make for dull viewing, this sort of thing has to exist in some kind of framework otherwise theres no compulsion to keep watching, way too fantastical I lost heart after series two.

    late 90s tech-step

    the early moving shadow compilations. 99.1 is excellent. sparse rolling twisted and mechanical, rife with those lush pads, syncopated stabs squelches and growls. oh check out stakka and skynet, vastly underated, (clockwork album?)

    Analord Revisited

    remember reading an interview with coldcut a few years back, and them saying how AFX was trying to buy up alot of the analouge gear he didnt own or had flogged off, they where saying when everyone was getting deep into digital signal processing he had already moved on, probably wanting to break...

    happy hardcore

    apparently happy hardcore is still very big in certain parts of Scotland and Leicester too. seems to be massively popular in little pockets of the u.k. for some strange reason. it was something i could never stomach, even when a randal set happened to fall on one side of a dreamscape tape and...

    creativity habits/curves/tricks

    this is something i've thought about quite a bit, with many doomed creative endeavorers under my belt. I dropped out of art school because i was really struggling to come up with any good ideas and felt creatively bankrupt also with music dedicating 5 hours a day to music for about 3 years, i...

    Are we going to get a Tory government next election?

    browns a pragmatist, if your looking for strong ideologies you wont find them during his term, i by and large agree with his standpoint on alot of things, i wouldn't say it refreshing but its been a welcome reprieve from the cynical spin touted by Blair and Cameron, I'm not sure party politics...
