Haha, everytime you guys use that word it makes me laugh (dreams are weird, innit? haha). I wish we had something like that in Australia. I still don't quite understand what defines innit. Like obviously its 'isn't it' but its come to describe a wider range of questioning. Someone explain to...

Well, Coil's 'Music to Play in the Dark'??!! I guess that could mean waking up to it after all! But there is a big different to dark ambient and industrial. Like i'd dig waking up to some low bass rumblings. I once made a shimmering drone track and fell asleep next to it and saw my spirit...

Well I think that 'cool' is by and large (surprise) a psychological state of mind, and that when one assimilates and processes culture into their lives they essentially open doorways and, as you say, distort our perception of the world into fascinating new shapes. But isn't this, the apparent...

Shall we just say any Noise? True that some Merzbow, his later, digital, 'whiter' stuff can be massaging, as can Metal Machine Music. I guess any 'dynamic' Noise would not be a nice wake-up call. And of course usually when questions like 'is there scary music?' comes up, the first stop-off...

Yea! forgot to mention that one!

Yea, what does everyone think of that Sacrilege tribute? Some were utter shite! For instance Westbam??? Pity how they ended the doco with film of him playing his 'I want more' cover at a club. eerrggh. And Carl Craig's Future Days cover is crap. The Yoo Doo Right cover i kind of like...

Sorry for that rather ridiculous rant. Will make sure next time not to collapse into such a stupid, boring and passe argument. Hah

Yea thats right, theres that story about how during the Nazi occupation of Paris, as Foucault was hiding behind cafes with weapons, Deleuze was having a holiday at the beach! Thats beautiful, and i agree. As Foucault says, where there is power, there is resistance, and there is power...

Yea, i like those white gloves! I remember seeing them for the first time and thinking 'hey, thats cool!' Makes Holger look that much more funky. Chris Cutler, hey. Never listened to Henry Cow before, heard many good things. Anyone suggest any good records?

I never said the best year dude. There has been a lot of good releases as this thread is evident of. You may argue that its the same every year, and it may very well be, but its not like i'm going to ask you to excuse me for being optimistic - just trying to be positive ;) Anyway, what were...

I already mentioned this on the other thread but has anyone listened to that Golden Apples of the Sun compilation of new folk? Got wicked tracks by Jana Hunter, Vetiver, Jack Rose, Joanna Newsom, Josephine Foster etc, and the beautiful title track of Rejoicing in the Hands with Vashti, which...

Thanks guys, will check out those Guru Guru albums. And yea the Live concert on the DVD is in 1972 at the Cologne Sporthall, with Damo and a funky flared jumpsuit and a guy juggling. Filmed by Wenders you say? cool.

No, Jaki Liebezeit IS the best drummer ever. I honestly can't think of anyone cooler. In the psych categpry all i can think of now is Mitch Mitchell, Robert Wyatt and maybe Danny Taylor from Silber Apples, but no where near as good as Jaki. His style is totally unique, metronomic and machine...

Yea! You should check out the 5-minute long Brian Eno film on the DVD, friggin hilarious. Just these skits of him describing Can's sound and dressing up in...outfits...to fit the adjective. Can't remember many of them, but i do remember him cross-dressing on more than one occasion, and...

Hey anyone been listening to that Golden Apples of the Sun record compiled by Devendra Banhart? Fucking fantastic, little unknown gems spread all over the album. The Jana Hunter and Josephine Foster tracks are righteous ;)

groove, i love that word! Funnily enough everytime i think of 'Soon Over...' I think of you Reynolds when you mentioned in your blog once (or was it in Energy Flash?) that you thought Quantum Physics/Chain Reaction was Can's most 'cosmic groove'. And also your description of Can's...

Ingram i just read on your blog a while back that you spoke to Young over the phone!! ARRGGGH. "Good one, chuck". Nice

Ah Woebot, after reading your blog so much in the last year, i've always felt that you're like an older version of me (in relation to the Can, Lamonte Young obsession). Future Days and then later Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi (the former, i'll have you know, still remains my favourite) blew my...

I don't believe art has to be expressing something. The only example i can think off the top of my head now is Toshimaru Nakamura saying that he doesn't want to express anything. Would you thereby classify his music and indeed all of Jap improv as 'not art'?. I agree there are differences...

Isn't this question as simple as to say that by the very nature of a game being a creation by humans with the multi-media design of light, colour, sound, texture etc etc - the very fact that it is ARTificial - it is constituted as art? Even if there was a game that paid little attention to...
