    Afrohouse

    can't even imagine how good it would be to hear this stuff dead loud in a club. the snare rolls reverbating through yr body. Disorientating for sure. What's happening to my insides. Body-high psychedelia. The break down of the mind/body dualism on the dancefloor. HAVE IT!!!!!

    Deep House and Garage

    ahhh this is gorgeous. usually with DJ Duke what i like is that it seems like totally functional music. I've never read an interview with him so I don't know what he was about at all, but his sound is often so uninterested in stuff like, y'know, emotions or feelings or beauty or any of that...

    Most underrated LP/albums ever

    John Darnielle reckons Stockholm Monsters "Alma Mater" is the best record ever. I mean obviously it's not, but there is something there. Whereas the Smiths wallowed in melancholy, with Stockholm Monsters their total focus on how miserable life is becomes kinda grandiose, celebratory, joyful. It...

    Most underrated LP/albums ever

    yeah they're not 4 real i reckon. compared to people like Jesus Lizard, Melvins, early Husker Du, there's a gulf there. a vacuum at the heart of it all. still their guitar feedback does sound REALLY nice sometimes tho

    Love it. Who's this mix by? It has the aliens on ketamine vibe that early Murk has

    Most underrated LP/albums ever

    Yes! I love their "in expression of the inexpressible" lp too. Stormy and very delicate at the same time. It's music that sounds like it's made by grown ups, but not in a shit boring way. Rather it has the complexity and ambiguity and ambivalence that comes with leaving adolescence. You know...

    Disgusting Food

    What was wrong with people in the two or three decades after the war? Lots of people - including my parents - blame rationing but it can't just be that surely. There's this drive towards the lurid and the grotesque that can't just be explained by the fact that people didn't have fresh eggs for a...

    Deep House and Garage

    If there was a club that only played tracks from the dissensus deep house and garage thread can any of us honestly say it wouldn't be the best club of all time?

    Deep House and Garage

    Picked up this 12 the other day by wyndell long. Really dreamy. Seems to be some connection with vincent floyd and there's a similarity in sound Listen to Wyndell Long - Enter The Maze EP by Dawn Notes on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/D19AZ

    Most underrated LP/albums ever

    David Byrne's "catherine wheel" lp. Really as good, if not better than peak period talking heads. I reckon it just edges out fear of music and runs Remain in light pretty close. the druggier, dancier, more paranoid and sketched out sister of In the Bush of Ghosts in places. But hardly anyone...

    if New York can die so can London

    in a few years time the big dick skycrapers of the City and canary wharf are all going to deserted aren't they. Repurposed as anarchist squats and illegal techno venues. Burnt out Pret a Mangers smouldering amid the ever present thump thump thump of yet another 5 day Chris Liberator set at the...

    Aliases

    Coil had a good few didn't they? Black light district Time machines Elph The eschaton I think with them it was a way to side step the baggage and expectation that came with naming things COIL. Revealing an insecurity and worry at the heart of it all. May be a similar thing going on with...

    Aliases

    Has this thing kind of died out now? I'm sure you don't see it so much now. There's a few people who still do it, like Shed who comes out with a new mysterious alias every few years and everyone works out it's him in a few minutes, but not that many others I'm aware of. The cynic in me thinks...

    the bowie thread

    I've just started reading that Ithell Colquhoun book. It's such a dreamy read. I love it. Drifting along, through water, moss, ferns. Very verdant and cool and wet. Also she's got a good sense of humour.

    The Smiths

    I like the smiths really but the thought/idea of hating them is really really appealing. It's a constant disappointment to me that I don't hate the smiths. It looks fun to hate the smiths, more fun than hating any other band

    Coil

    Was listening to the latest thighpaulsandra the other day, Practical Electronics. I think he's amazing. The best lyricist going. He has the perfect thing of teetering across the line where you know exactly what he's talking about but it's also a form a nonsense. It's magic. He also doesn't seem...

    Coil

    I love pretty much all coil, except bits of backwards which haven't dated well. Favourites change all the time But highlights over the past few days have been- First dark ride, which is outrageously, flamboyantly good in its second half. beestings, from their late rural pagan phase...
