in a sickening bit of news, which validates K-punk's stance against hiphop, 50 has publicly disclaimed Kanye's criticism of the Bush admin in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He said, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. "I think people responded to it the best...

pretty interesting images derived from data... some are better than others. http://salavon.com/work.php anyone know any other work along these lines?

Two-thirds of world's resources 'used up' Tim Radford, science editor Wednesday March 30 2005 The human race is living beyond its means. A report backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields - today warns that the almost two-thirds of the natural...

ok. who in de know 'bout dis? I want a show of hands. no holding out allowed. peeps from Atlanta, I'm talkin' to you. peeps from Mississippie, Dallas, Houston, I'm talkin' to you. journalists from the UK, you bet I'm talkin' to you too: is Lil' Jon over and out? is he nothing more than a...

when I say that a performance like this "makes mere virtuosity seem commonplace" I meant this: That she was not just expertly displaying a set of extremely polished skills with breathtaking vigor and ease: Her hands dancing on the strings with jaw-dropping mathematical precision, so that every...

are there any big big riddims from the past year or 2 you would recommend? crucial like Red Alert or Diwali or Coolie Dance from around 2003. also if there is anything from before this period (1990s? 2001? 2002?) that are just ace let me know... I would click on every link on Soundquake but...

this supposedly well known Australian visual artist was involved in a project called "the quiet in the land: everyday life, contemporary art and the shakers". where he lived in a Shaker village in Maine, by a lake, for a month, and while blindfolded, painted and wrote poems and played piano...

sorry to take up board space with such a trivial post, but I am desperate - a new mix I'm making is nearly finished and I just can NOT wait until Nov. 7th when Lady Sov's debut drops in the US! if anyone has mp3's and can upload to my FTP, or can make me a copy and put it in the post, name...

one of the most annoying things anyone can ever say, especially in regards to art (music, film, etc) is: "it's all subjective". when I hear this I fucking see red. ofcourse "it's all subjective" in the bigger scheme of things, perception is reality, etc. but when this universal rule is...

I mentioned that these crazy Finns were the sole saving grace of the promising but dissapointing Arthur-Fest. it was literally worth the 90 dollars just to see these guys play for 30 minutes. it is very rare to find good and relevent rock bands these days, and to find one that blows me away...

I've had both records by these guys since they came out and they remain the finest example of... what do you call it? Noise-beat fusion? such brilliant textures and psychoactive tones... a totally fresh and never heard before (atleast I haven't) convergence of imprivisation and composition...

this one is for all the music lovers on here who are NOT currently making their own: if you just inhereted a substantial sum from a distant relative and are able to devote all your energy to music, starting RIGHT NOW, what kind of project would you start or be involved with...

it is often astonishing to me that refined aesthetic sensibilities are non-transferrable. how many great records have BUTT-ugly sleeves? musicians who use sophisticated palettes of sounds to create exquisite tableaus of sonic innovation... goes out in hideous album art. (on a side note...

I've enjoyed scattered pieces in both entity's discography, which are almost as messy as Coil's. and my knowledge of their respective histories is very choppy at best (Nurse came from Post-Punk/Goth territory, right? where did Hafler come from?) . but was wondering what other peole thought...

I can feel myself moving into a big modern classical phase right now. partly because I'm in the studio so fucking much I rarely even see the sun anymore. and as far as duration is concerned, in terms of keeping the interest, attention span, and just pure physical and mental stimulation, 3-5...

there was a thread about this but I can't find it. I have no cultural-anthropological insights or theories on these subjects to offer right now... just want some recommendations. what artists are crucial in the underground? I mean the hottest club bangers but also the stranger, darker...

speaking from my very much limited knowledge and experience of dancehall culture, I have never encountered an MC as versatile and original as this man. The pleading urgency and the melodic, often minor-key tonalities in his voice seems second to none. my favorite 2 cuts are on the "Jah Knows...

I visited the Maori Healers last week, they are in LA for a few weeks, coming from Amsterdam and going to other cities in the US after. easily the most intense experience I've ever gone through. when I walked up the hill to a beautiful house in Malibu the first thing I noticed were the...

anyone know what happened to this family of labels??? did Achim finally go completely bankrupt? what a shame... if that's the case I am truly saddened... if I was rich I'd send him some money.
