Nu-gaze Also on the nu-gaze tip, see http://www.discogs.com/release/250319 Haven't heard it myself yet but I heard his cover of Map Ref. 41 N 93 W and that was properly shoegazy.

Yeah, and on the other hand you can't build the Notre Dame with an axe.

Nah, the uneducated 16 year olds musically expressing themselves on Fruity Loops mostly sounds very samey. The same riffs, beats...they are just rediscovering the things that the 16 year olds before them found. So you have dubstep using the same riffs as rave because that's just what you will...

where are the UFO's? They've gone away with the Cold War. Maybe it was secret air force technology that is not being developed anymore (no funding?). Maybe it was the public's paranoia that ended.

If you think the 90's aren't embrassing now, you haven't really looked back. I started noticing this year that the 90's do look silly in retrospect, their time to be mocked has arrived. At first it was while watching "Mr. Show", a great comedy show starring David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. Their...

Rumours on discogs...yeah, not much. But apparently these fake auctions aren't uncommon. Or so they say. That's why I am doubting it. Just doesn't seem worthwhile.

Some people call Hendrix the blues...or even Led Zeppelin. I mean you can trace things in all sorts of ways and you can't deny that dubstep is closely related to jungle. In 50 years casual observers probably won't be able to tell the difference. So it all just gets grouped into one group...

Not buying into what? It's just a name for a certain slice of music that philosophically and esthetically pleases certain music critics. The fact that it came from the same place and can be roughly traced genealogically from one point to the next gives it coherency. It's like the blues. What...

It seems like they only list stuff that sold for at least 20 GBP. What do you all make of the fake auctions that reportedly take place. It just doesn't make any sense to me. For example there's the story of the fake Clarence G (early work by Drexciya member) auction that closed at $5400...

Haven't read anything in this thread but here are some photos from a recent trip to North Korea: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=82755 and for those who understand Russian here's the original with better descriptions: http://www.tema.ru/travel/choson-1/

Check it out: http://www.popsike.com/ lists eBay auctions and the prices they went for. You can vote if the buyer over/underpaid. Didn't know that the Sex Pistols have the most expensive record.

Check out stuff by Spirallianz aka Midi Miliz. I don't think it's right to say that trance never went through the headfuck '93 jungle phase, I think it did in '97. But most people couldn't stand it just like most people couldn't stand jungle in '93. There's some interesting stuff hapenning...

how good is this? How good is this comp? Die Neue Tanzmusik Ist...Da Da Da

Interesting question. The thing is, we've seen this before. Around 2000 there was a bunch of companies that would give you 100MB of virtual hard drive space. You could upload files. The idea was that you would use it for your own purposes but people would share files by sharing their logins...

Unix...not the OS itself so much but you gotta love all those little tools like find, sort, grep, head, cat and so on that fit together and can do so much for you. VuePrint - the best image viewing software I've ever found. Been using it since '96 (the same old version...never felt the need to...

Inspired by Woebot...

Is it possible to make the text in the "black" scheme lighter? There's very little contrast there making it hard to read.

I don't understand the logic there. Make traveling hell and thereby create support for the war in Iraq. What? Ok, so my sample is biased but everyone I read seems to see it as a political plot so who are these people who will be convinced that there is a real threat and that therefore we must...

The default state is belief if only because the majority of the world are believers and so their kids will be too. It's the easiest explanation for why things happen. As humans we tend to see motives behind everything. So if you win the lottery it's because someone wanted you to win. People...

This is good news I suppose. Basement ruled back in the day. But what's with all this rave revival business. It started all the way back in 2000 and just never seems to hit its stride. There's a couple records here and there, a few represses, but no buzz. It doesn't amount to anything.
