    tenori-on

    Anyone heard of, or played with, this new "revolutionary" instrument from Yamaha? Their site does a magnificent job of underwhelming you with its exciting possibilities for music-making e.g. "The TENORI-ON 16 x 16 LED button matrix is simultaneously a performance input controller and...

    the nuum back lash

    No, I've been working on it for years, waiting for the right moment to unleash it. ;) I will accept any moderation/banning action as fully justified punishment.

    the nuum back lash

    Kant believe you're too jung, freudened and deleuded by the joyce of whitehead guattari music indie bands plato you by descartes-load. Just the sort of nietzcherk reaction I'd expect from a bunch of nancy boys in lyotards. What the hegel are you thinking? Get the foucault while you lacan - my...

    Books you've read recently and would unreservedly recommend

    [takes bait, as HMLT isn't around ;)] I'm surprised at you Mr. Tea, given Pirsig's quaint misrepresentations of science! He sees the scientific method as something that infinitely proliferates hypotheses for a given phenomenon such that discovering the "correct" one seems to be down to nothing...

    interesting blog :) Though I'm not seeing a "Rapatrier" link on the Neuf Giga page - is there a d/l link I'm missing? [Edit] works on IE; didn't seem to work on Firefox

    WOEBOT bows out

    Apparently our host and benefactor Woebot is ceasing and desisting all online activity as of now: http://www.woebot.com/ Thanks for everything and good luck with new directions in life. Hopefully Dissensus will continue to blossom in your absence (and honour).

    An open letter to Simon Reynold on his 'Brit Pop box' critique

    "active shoegazers" lol (and not starting anything with the Tactics title... tactics :p) OK, taking influence from U2 doesn't necessarily make you diluted... but I just think they are a diluted wishy-washy version of U2, see also Chris's Bono-bo-ing around the place on stage and off... The...

    An open letter to Simon Reynold on his 'Brit Pop box' critique

    Back on topic, has anyone pointed out that Coldplay are a diluted cross between U2 and Echo And The Bunnymen, while Radiohead starting out had more in common with Nirvana/Pixies classic indie rock than anything else (Creep) before going a bit arty on The Bends and then delving into Warp records...

    An open letter to Simon Reynold on his 'Brit Pop box' critique

    Hmm: Gotta Hold Over Me (Easy Lover) - Coko Of course I also meant to include Sussudio (Prince's 1999 riff!), You Can't Hurry Love, In The Air Tonight in that era - not really maudlin soft-rock, is it? tight glossy soul-funk-r'n'b-pop :p (Am I actually defending Phil Collins? :eek: Is it...

    An open letter to Simon Reynold on his 'Brit Pop box' critique

    But Phil Collins made tight glossy soul-funk-r'n'b-pop in the 80's with Philip Bailey of Earth Wind and Fire. Presumably that's why American blacks liked him?

    PORTISHEAD-curated NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS ATP

    :eek: Looks like I don't need to worry about them going trad-rockist, then! Industrial/Silver Apples/techno/rock/?! Really looking forward to the new album based on this!

    PORTISHEAD-curated NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS ATP

    Tell us more STN! Did Portishead play new stuff, and if so how did it sound? Their contribution to that Gainsgourg tribute LP was worryingly weak.

    Hands up if you don't 'get' Led Zep?

    Good god, man, what are you hanging around here for, when you should be making up for lost time with Funhouse - go! do it! now!

    Hands up if you don't 'get' Led Zep?

    They go on a fair bit, Plant was always preposterous, but they ROCKED, like, totally, with the HUGE measures of added blooze and funk just swelling the whole thing out to overwhelming proportions. They also had a kinetic propulsiveness that seemed to transcend mere repetition and bludgeoning...
