    black roots - white fruits

    i'm not saying that there aren't significant problems with what parrish is saying, it's just that when an established power dynamic exists where one group of people are significantly less empowered than another i.e. the day to day experience of white people *in general* vs the day to day...

    black roots - white fruits

    not especially cool to go around calling african americans racist, btw, whatever you might think of what he's saying. what he's saying is extremely ill-advised in lots of ways, but reverse racism or whatever you want to call it is pretty damned thorny ground to start treading, especially when...

    black roots - white fruits

    Jesus, you could drive a bus through pretty much all of those arguments about music itself. Still i'm not at all surprised. I love his music, but don't really love this

    Dubstep

    I think that really says what I've been saying about the changes in dubstep's general demographic better than anything else. not that this is a criticism at all. also strange that after all my grumbling, i've actually been enjoying dubstep more lately than i have in a long time, too. re...

    does anyone in london use ableton as a djing interface? i've just acquired ableton live 7 and really want to learn how to use it. if anyone here has a good knowledge base and would be willing to give me a face to face tutorial, i'd be ridiculously grateful as i can't really make head or tail of...

    Jay-Z is killing off Glastonbury festival

    there aren't any other rappers who could have pulled of that show convincingly. i mean tons could get up there and rock it, but not in the context of glastonbury. british people know next to nothing about hip-hop. this is a fact. they only really know about jay-z or fiddy, then a bit of of...

    Jay-Z is killing off Glastonbury festival

    i don't know how anyone in their right mind, who doesn't just want to complain for complaining's sake, can possibly find anything wrong with this performance. he addressed the stupid, media-manipulated controversy surrounding appearance, the wonderwall thing wasn't a pandering cover — it was...

    Detroit - the myth

    i've just been listening to stardancer off the martian's red planet 2 ep. no matter how canon-smashing you want to be, this is possibly one of the best records ever made, as is the riot ep, as is mills' seawolf as world power alliance, as is robert hood's first minimal nation EP, as is jaguar...

    Ethiopiques Series

    He's a bit younger than mulatu, who's 64, so yeah, i'd say maybe late 50s. it was a really upful, fun night. lots of really touching sorrowful songs from ahmed, but some massive call and respose dance tunes, too, which got the whole place on its feet. he's busts a mean move, himself, too. on...

    Ethiopiques Series

    anyone else go to the barbican show last night? i thought it was kind of phenomenal. mulatu was ok. nothing that amazing, but good all the same. on the other hand, getachew is one of the coolest men on the face of the earth as far as i'm concerned and alemeyehu eshete was totally entertaining...

    Arthur Russell doco

    The director told me that it will show in London at the ICA at some point. I hope so, too, because I really want to write something about it.

    Arthur Russell doco

    I was lucky enough to go to the New York premiere of this. It's a great bit of film-making. Rather than being light on Russell's music, I think that it attempts to present an idea of Russell as man, not artist. There's actually plenty of information provided about his music, but there's also a...
