It's not really that relevant to twee tbh but she definitely is big on physical media http://thewire.co.uk/articles/7267/ things that i didn't like about the article: crass characterisation of digital media user - how many people do you know who buy a record, go home and then immediately pirate...

well like i was saying we need to be nail down what is twee. i think nostalgia is certainly involved and when it comes to music this nostalgia will manifest as the fetishising of physical media. but i think it's probably more than that. maybe a certain attitude to the past that goes beyond...

Yea I don't really have a problem with them. I think i'm just still a bit fucked off with the thing amanda brown wrote in the wire. Overall it does seem to be largely defined as a certain type of nostalgia. the mawkish sentimental kind. Is there another kind? i don't know?

And handmade tape cassettes/packaging. Especially when combined with a critical attitude to digital/internet culture, when it is probably that very culture that accounts for half your fanbase. (not not fun i'm looking at you)

i think twee and quirky/wacky are actually a bit different. napoleon dynamite epitomises the godawful end of andersonesque cinema. purposefully leaving in dodgy takes in which equipment is visible and generally being completely anachronistic is so pomo it makes me feel ill.

juno is terrible. character development reduced to semi-obscure pop culture references. fuck off.

arsenal supports in lewisham? woolwich maybe but why lewisham?

a) have you seen some of the shit on the internet? b) how do you know he isn't c) morality and legality aren't the same thing

if the internet isn't a friendly place then why link to her facebook profile? or was that just an admission that you are a bit of an arsehole (but only on the internet honest)? i just watched the video and if you weren't slightly disturbed by two blokes double teaming a girl who is clearly out...

lol great imagery. i'm imagining stumbling across this record in the woods behind the school playing fields as it gathers mould with all the other discarded junk - porno mags and empty tins of solvents etc.

can't find a source for this btw so i may have completely misrepresented his views :rolleyes:

pretty sure reynolds is on record as saying he liked this kind of stuff because it's more faithful to the spirit of the 'nuum. which i don't really understand because i thought he classified nuum musics as more about a shared attitude than an aesthetic. what's the attitude of 'brostep'? impotent...

thought it was pretty dull but more to the point vinyl factory can fuck off. limited press. no digital. price ramped up for some shitty screenprint sleeve. i appreciate people want to support vinyl as a format but i don't see how this helps. let it die.

Sounds like straight edge meets spiral tribe in a fucking welsh farmyard lol It's gotta be a piss take right?

I dunno how you worked this one out

Is this right? Because it would explain why the banks need to be involved at all. I mean what's the difference between giving the banks money to lend to private businesses and the government just investing loads of money in public sector infrastructure or something? The former seems a more...

Worth remembering that if accumulation is addiction it's only from the abstraction of use-value that it can proceed: In other words the potential for capitalist accumulation is literally unlimited. And Re: There is no end! I wonder if this feature is internal to all addictions? Thinking...

check your pms TA^

did i just hear peter oborne reference marx approvingly? lol

the guy is like the living embodiment of 'creative destruction'
