    the concept of "cheesy"

    agree with the sentiment in this thread, although most people i know would probably say they enjoy 'cheesy' music... personally i take much more offence when the music i like is dismissed as 'easy listening'/elevator music/music that plays in a hotel lobby etc. basically anything w/out lyrics...

    Your last day

    im not sure id do anything different to be honest, it depends on the weather. if it was a pleasant day id probably go to a nice park and relax. otherwise id stay in and listen to music. if it was a weekday id take the day off work. i doubt id tell anybody i was about to die either.

    i just saw 'no country for old men' & man its sure worthy all the praise its getting. absolutely brilliant, quite disturbing & beautiful. that air-gun was fucked up! also 'coeurs' (hearts) i really enjoyed. theres been some really shitty french films being released here recently so this was...

    Logic 8 is out

    real-time, turning quantize on & off for certain elements. set up a 2 or 4 bar loop and play one or two parts at a time then overdub. id guess most people work in a similar way? i tend not to use swing. i also think its worth having some kind of 'pad' controller for entering percussion parts...

    Reynolds on planet-mu

    i like this article, and i kinda like reading zoomed-in scans of magazines too for whatever reason (i guess 'cause you can only see one paragraph at a time, in large text, its easier to concentrate). havent listened to much dupstep, but i think he articulates well what i dont like about much of...

    can we have a ysi thread

    theres a 'latin' radio show i listen to on friday mornings at work - its a bit hit and miss but they were playing some cool shit last week (a couple of songs from that disco fuentes comp which ive seen discussed here but didnt pursue until now) and then a couple tracks from this 'batucada...

    Yaala Yaala and authenticity

    i only skimmed through the review, but it seems kind of foul to me - maybe im missing something. the music sounds great though.

    New Snoop Dogg: Sensual Seduction

    great track - ludacris singles are always killer (exept that recent one w/ pharell) maybe, but usher is such a schmuck i cant stand to hear him on anything anymore.

    giant steps

    http://www.michalevy.com/giantsteps_download this was posted at the jazz bulletin board - maybe it doesnt deserve its own post, but whatever, have a look. now id like the rest of the album visualized like this.

    New Snoop Dogg: Sensual Seduction

    1000 albums to hear before you die in The Guardian

    such a wonderful cover... you made me revisit this album, ive had it for a while but never gave it a good listen until now, brilliant stuff - jobim was the coolest. cheers. btw these kind of lists normally make me sick, but this one seems half decent, cant be fucked going through it all, but in...

    Burial "Untrue"

    well said - spot on, such an addictive track! (though it sounds more like "couldnt be alone" to me). its also the most rhythmically satisfying i think, where the bass drops out just before the end of the bar. the emphasis is really on the vocal parts, which are great, but seems to be at the...

    "Control"

    i wonder, for someone who isnt particularly interested in the music, is this still worth seeing?

    David Cronenberg’s new film ‘Eastern Promises’ shot in Deptford

    this film was pretty terrible. were any of the 'russians' actually russian? fucking awful acting, cringe-worthy dialogue, nothing particularly redeemable except for one violent scene in a bathhouse which was quite fun. i wouldnt tell anybody to see it.
