Interview with Aphex in CRACK magazine: Do you find yourself more of a thinker or a doer these days? Definitely a thinker, that's why I'm aware of it. When I'm telling you this I'm telling myself, I'm trying to coach myself. It's like a tool, your mind. It's good for working out problems but if...

Move over hardcore continuum, there's a new kid in town. Specifically prompted by thinking about Jungle - Garage - Grime - Funky - Road Rap You see? DO YOU SEE? N.B. I know this is actually a part of the hardcore continuum theory but what say ye?

Started because I've got this in my head: The title of the thread is a misnomer (and yes I'm aware of Esham), probably, because the stuff I have in mind is, I think, more inspired by ecstacy and prescription pills, but - when I did acid recently up on the heath we mostly listened to the...

As in - they've stuck in your mind, they've sent subtle shock waves through your thoughts and feelings, they've become part of you. Stuff you've underlined and made a note of. Could be of anything you've read, could be of stuff you're reading now. As a complinent to the what are you reading...

Songs that get in and out without any noodling about Songs trimmed of all fat (Probably, but not exclusively, pulsating with life-affirming, naive joy) The opposite of ambient?

I've cried when on a huge comedown to U Don't Have to Call by Usher. I cried because it was so beautiful and life is so short.

Dunno where else to put this but its got me foaming at the mouth https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/09/britains-richest-man-to-leave-uk-for-tax-free-monaco

On recommendation from a forum member (can't remember who, sorry) I've started reading Michael Pollan's book on psychedelics: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/529343/how-to-change-your-mind-by-michael-pollan/9781594204227/ Here's the article he wrote for the New Yorker about using...

This is going to sound like I'm a stoner cliché (or 'archetype', given the context) but I smoked a doob last night and then - on a whim - stuck on a documentary about Joseph Campbell - and was almost immediately transfixed and galvanised by his theories. In the back of my mind was the a nagging...

Watched the entire third series of his show while drughungover on Monday. It's great. So strange, so surprising, so idiosyncratic, by turns puerile and touching. I'd got a bit tired of his schtick on Twitter lately (though there's always the odd gem and the occasional flurry of brilliance) so...

HN has been sampled 48 times according to whosampled.com https://www.whosampled.com/Michael-Jackson/Human-Nature/sampled/ But more significantly to create 2 CLASSIC songs. Feel free to post your other classic HN sampling songs here. Other examples of this too maybe? A song that was classic and...

Just reading Leavis on modern poetry (what was at his time modern poetry) and he speculates as to why the greatest minds are no longer attracted to writing poetry. Reject his opinion or not, I think this is an interesting way of looking at art, and might be for music, too.

I'm thinking of areas you're drawn to when picking things to read and watch and listen to. But I'd be happy to find out about people's obsessive sexual fetishes or stamp collecting or whatever. Speaking of which, I'm personally very drawn to reading gruesome books about serial killers and...

Producers, songwriters mainly thinking of but singers welcome too ofc

Just watching an episode of the Beeb's 'Civilisations' - the content aside, it's the style I'm interested in. It's all ambient, soaring, cinematic music/muzak (I've heard an instrumental version of a Coldplay track in an arts program). It's slow motion shots, fancy filming, not really a...

Two in a row I noticed in Ant Man just now 'youve jeapordised the whole mission!' And 'did I hear that right? Did you just compliment me?!' I could do this shit

http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html Slags off the Beatles, pours scorn on Hendrix, defames Michael Jackson, etc. Classic
