Dropout Boogie:

If there is any hard evidence, I'd encourage getting a serious investigative newspaper on to it

I've just got back from Chicago. Second time, I love it. I wrote a long report for another message board on food and drink, which I'll post here if that's OK. Record-wise, I recommend Permanent Records. Rock orientated, but vinyl specialists, with a lot of weird stuff like Mississippi Records...

I've not seen him live. His new split LP on No Fun Productions is really good though, after a couple of slightly below par releases

He was playing with Pocahaunted, who I didn't dig that much. Other similar types I've seen live –OPN (really good), Skaters (really good), Dolphins Into The Future (not great, at least when I saw them)

I've seen him live and he's very good. Surprisingly in a way, I was wondering how the hell he was going to do it on his own. But somehow it works very well. Dubbed-out blues is the method, basically, with a good feel for textures.

Regarding JBs... I definitely agree they dropped off after Last Exit. Second and third albums still have some good moments, but it lost something somehow...

Oh, some of the JB's stuff is fantastic, yeah. Something's not clicking with this so far though. Will give it time.

I'm still getting my head around this album. The vocals sound a bit like the Junior Boys or something.

We didn't manage to confirm all the attendees in time to mention this in The Wire's September issue, so I'm spreading the word about the latest of our discussion forums at Cafe Oto in London. This one is entitled "We Hear A New World", and it'll cover microphony, technology and sound art. As...

Y'all might want to know that Dave Quam has written The Wire's Unofficial Channels column this month on Footwork.

I'm worried lugging it around in a bag will cause me chronic back problems.

Here's the show in much higher quality (it's a 150mb download for 1.5 hours, so I guess about 256 kbps). Enjoy. btw, the theme music right at the start is Rhys Chatham's "Guitar Trio". http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1215648/Adventures%20in%20Modern%20Music%20-%20July%2015th%202010.mp3

Fuck's sake. The stream isn't working again. This is really frustrating I have the whole show in good quality on my hard drive, if anyone wants it, can easily burn it and send on CD.

DM your details. Will check with Dave if it's cool also...

If Dave's happy with it, I'm happy to send out CDs of the mix itself burned from fat ass aif format to peeps in London. They were sounding awesome in the office the other night. So if you want better fidelity for the music at least...

Download and tracklisting: http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/4649/ Also, because of the streaming problems, the show will be broadcast again tomorrow at 12 noon on Resonance and resonancefm.com. If anyone needs better quality copies of the mix, I can probably sort you out... big up to Dave...

Arg. The Resonance stream went down in my show. I'll post a link to a download and tracklisting for the show soon. It was great...

Hope you'll excuse the self-promotion, but this thread feels the right context to mention this – Dave Quam is on The Wire's Adventures In Modern Music show on Resonance FM tonight, talking on the phone and playing a mix taking in proto ghetto house through to footwork. Here's the blurb:

blimey, the otilith group have been shortisted for the turner prize! and u thought art was boring.
