kindly stop stalking me. thanks.

The sense I get from this stuff's rhythmic engineering is of a pinball machine. Like all the rhythmic components are so tightly sprung that the bouncing bass-ic forces and the assumed ghost dancer bounces off them with such an energy that it almost feels like these percussive triggers have...

speak of the devil, Varg's out today I think.

*unrelated to larger issue, everyone but padraig and nomad ignore* nomad, sorry, I didn't mean the thing about music majors as a dig at you. I thought you were probably a science major or something. I like formal music theory too, know it inside and out, and also have perfect pitch (my whole...

?! Shouldn't the distinct sound of Jungle, its overall sonic gestalt, the strikingly novel effect of its formula, especially in the context of what had come before, be more than enough in itself to convince anyone that it was clearly, ridiculously new at the time? There was nothing as...

this is getting so fucking inane

thank you Pestario and elgato

on Gek's thoughts about creative "resources" running out... I think I see some truth in his model, but see it as only one dimension of the issue. The creative resources that are running out, are the collective creative possibilites limited within the confines of a temporal social vision...

Awesome. Thanks, man. Ikonika and Zomby have particularly been doing it for me.

If you could up that first Hyperdub Showcase (if you're talking about the Mary Ann Hobbes one), that'd be very much appreciated. I did catch the other one on Benji B's show. How about that last unnamed Burial tune with the fucked up vocals that kept going out of key (in a good way)? He said...

do you have a link to a download of this? all I'm finding are streams.

yeah, really interesting (and admirably inventive) take there from Alex, as always.

OTM I think, with regard to the current mood out here.

totally, love it. or a thread on the movies we absolutely love that aren't high brow and obscure

agreed, I think self-honesty and critical reflection might have a lot to do with the morality of art sometimes. Morality in art doesn't entail censoring things (though it may morally favor better things, and that's of no less value than harsher "realism"), though there are also plenty of cases...

good point, a specific, intentional message might not be a part of it, unless one would maybe reduce a more pointed summation of something like an overall politics or sociocultural "message" that it represents memetically or aesthetically. It could be playing a song within some larger opera...

I would agree that I prefer things more open-ended and less dishonestly slanted. But a slant is inescapable. Still, I don't know if there's any art that isn't pure abstraction, that deals in the substance and themes of life, no matter how open-ended it's approach, that isn't going to favor or...

Yeah, I always found the villain in Ghostbusters being an EPA guy odd, but attributed it more to an apolitical "geez just lighten up will you?" party-animal/amoral attitude than to conservative one. Kinda like how Vice had been this decade, which in the end, could be argued as being part of the...
