    virtues of dj vs. producing

    I feel like I am being quoted and then people are challenging things I DIDN'T say. Gek Opel, I agree, at least as far as i understand your post. Never said DJing wasn't interesting, important or influential upon music makers, just that it is easier to do well than make music. Ripley... I...

    virtues of dj vs. producing

    I do both. They are quite different things with the common link being "taste". Instinctively knowing what sounds good is the most important and virtually impossible to learn skill in both things. The other skills you need to learn are quite different, but learning to mix records is clearly less...

    lilly allen says awesome thing on telly shock

    Yeah, no more saying you don't like things! Only go along with what's popular! Jo Wiley obviously knows more about music than any of us because she plays CDs on the radio. huh????

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    really? I don't relate to this at all. I just like it or i don't based on how it sounds and how that makes me feel. I don't see how someone else could "prove me wrong" about my opinion. Of course it's true that *I* change over time and therefore become open to new things and bored of others. I...

    Piece about the origins of techno on radio 4

    Yeah it was stuff you would already know if you are into techno, but for a BBC audience I thought it was pretty mindblowingly good. Although he did say that acid house was the progeny of detroit techno which seems a bit back to front.

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    Yeah, I am knocking on a bit, trying to think what music I used to really like and now dislike a lot. The ones that spring to mind are Consolidated whose vocals I find completely unlistenable, same with Meat Beat Manifesto, the only tunes I still like are the instrumentals. I guess I said what...

    admitting you were wrong: music you used to like and now hate

    That's so weird to me, to like and dislike music for a conscious reason rather than just KNOWING it's good or bad because of how it makes you feel. No disrespect but it kind of implies you were judging it on the marketing/presentation and not the music, and then you got round to listening...

    N.W.A's "Efil4Zaggin"

    Excellent in my opinion. Better than Efil4zaggin by a long way! Especially "2 Hard Muthas" fuck it up yella!

    well true but he obviously made a wrong decision to work 4:30am until 7pm and should've changed his mind about it IMO

    bloody miserable

    I have a jazz afficionado downstairs, he tries not to get angry about my loud techno because i never complain about loud jazz. about counselling and all that.... i really felt it was a waste of time, a voice inside me was saying "do you think i haven't thought of THAT?" - i felt like my...

    bloody miserable

    you fucking miserable sods, snap out of it. i went to some counselling recently for being miserable, total waste of time, i can sort it out myself. you can be happy or unhappy and it's got almost nothing to do with what's going on, it's just how you choose to approach things. personally i am...

    N.W.A's "Efil4Zaggin"

    Weird, I just removed this from my record collection and put it in the box of tunes reserved for taking donw the Exchange to sell. Unlistenably awful rapping and crap like "automobile" that takes a sweet old Parliament song and ruins it. Dre's best stuff IMO is all from when he had a jheri curl...
