if people are posting about the bloody smiths this blog deserves a mention: http://permanentcondition.blogspot.com/ out of print or simply not available modern African and related music. check out this Haitian master Coupé Cloué...

wonder why this thread doesn't already exist... so let's have 'em, posters, flyers, and ofcourse, covers. but perhaps leave the obvious behind? we don't need to look at D.R. covers for warp for the 100th time (unless ofcourse, it's some rare japanese only EP)

2 labels, one major, one brand new (the 2 are connected but separate entities), are looking for Grime artists to sign and distribute in America. if you are or know someone who is hungry and wants exposure on this side of the globe (and is unsigned or only signed to a British label), send me...

Biennale Shockingly Bad not bad as in good, bad as in terrible. on 4 floors of exhibition space, there was 1 redeeming work, and that wasn't anything to write home about either. unless you count the fake remake of Gore Vidal's Caligula - oh it's so irreverent and clever and over the top that...

recently I've had a total change of heart on Devendra Banhart. and I suspect, possibly, on this whole song oriented new folk thing. without really listening, I outright dismissed the whole lot: Devendra, Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, etc., on account of being fake and phony, self concious...

pulling an all-nighter to deliver 2 projects because earlier in the week I've done nothing except fuck-around. and the tragectory of the long night went like this: got tired of beats of any sort pretty quickly. by 1 AM I was on a strict diet of acoustic guitars. by 3 AM even Nick Drake...

edit: DISCLAIMER 11 JAN. 2010 I never was, and am not interested in denying the existence of the HIV virus or AIDS, and if i was to make the same thread today it would not have such an over-sensationalist title. What i was, and am interested in are some of the claims of the deniers and...

all you upstanding and distinguished Dissensians of refined sensibilities and impeccable taste, I want no reservations in your reply to this question - do you have any guilty pleasures and if so, what are they? I'm talking about music that you would not vuluntarily admit that you enjoy and/or...

saw this thing at a going out of business local record-shop called "Bollywood Breaks" by Enduser, whose digi-D'n'B I've heard before, and took a chance... jesus fuck. if there was a hook this shit would not be on it. bollywood vocals and flutes riding dense waves of menacing breaks, somewhere...

just seen this. was pretty much blown away. never been a fan of woody allen, but this is so sharp, so tight, so intense and funny and real. I think what is most disturbing about this film is that the events unfold so naturally, one hardly notices the direction it's going until you realize...

finish point (art) not sure if I agree completely with the old adage - that a painting (and perhaps by extension all creative projects) is never finished, and only stops at interesting places. I think every project reaches, can reach, should reach, a zenith, a saturation point, a perfect place...

I heard the new Depeche Mode is very good (unlike the last one). anyone can confirm this? what about new Eno? anyone? he sings on it...

just bought the Essential Rai and several other box-sets vaguely in the Arabesque and Arabica, Arabic Beats vein... hoping that there are atleast a handful of amazing tracks in the whole pile ---- and not too much Global Underground type wank. does anyone have any Asian electronica fusion...

a good way to know if one is "in the moment", according to Zen practices, is that when meditating, and someone comes up from behind and goes "BOOYAKA!" ---- if you are startled, you are not here of this time, but asleep or adrift in some other time; and if you are not startled at all, you are...

starting off the new year with a reflexive thread: sometime ago a friend asserted that "all music is sad". and she went on to claim that every person who values music beyond the surface of its social or entertaining qualities is set apart from the others, those for whom music is nothing more...

jon woscencroft or colin newman from touch once said something like he did not see any point in expressing angst through music. i never forgot this statement as it struck me as interesting while I atleast partially disagree... I still respond to angry music... the south has some of the...

as we are all of us getting (presumably) a little bit older with each passing day, do you think you are becoming more set in your ways and your tastes, more resistant to new things, or are you becoming more open minded, receptive, and appreciative of a greater variety of what the world has to...
