Lyrics is plain, sonic texture for me, even in very text-focussed genres like grime or hiphop. I hardly ever pay attention to any lyrics, probably because it is too much of an effort to understand them. Never being able to sing along a song is the price of such laziness though. Laziness that...

I am glad that this discussion takes a more interesting course. What you write here, mms, is -for me, at least- a most fundamental question. One that has not been treated (enough) by media theory, namely: what are the consequences of such rapidly changing technological infrastructures on the...

Yessir!

Sharpen up your german and go reading this article. Maybe you can learn a thing or two about theory. Good luck!

Agreed. That's true for the Frankfurters. Apart from Benjamin, I would probably not classify them as media theorists though. Kittler and Bolz do write about digital media and if you wouldn't know them -although I assume you do- check them out. Especially Kittler is a rocking badboy academic par...

Nice programme! It is quite weird, though, that the Toronto-school is neglected entirely in this course. So is German media theory (maybe Bolz, certainly Kittler, why not Benjamin?). Personally, I can't wait for you to reach the last course on digital politics. The italian scholars you will be...

I smoke the rolling tobacco though. No prefab for me, thanks!

My favourite is down here.

Nightclubbing by Iggy Pop (produced by David Bowie). Well, maybe I only like the intro of the track, but still.

This is some of the most refreshing material I saw in ages. Informed, critical and passionate. It's like skipping through the wire and hearing on the spot what is written about. Wished I checked this out earlier.

Do you guys remember this Quasimoto track called 'Bully's hit'? It samples Gong in a rather genius way. I don't remember the title of the Gong track though. Anyway, here is the video.

Rashid Taha - Made in Medina has some uptempo tracks and generally a more "modern" feel.

Bill Laswell.

Gonna check out your mix as well then, Dub-u. I was already very impressed with the crunk+hyphy mix you did, so I'm really curious. What I'd really would want to hear though, is 3 or even 4-deck mix of dubstep/grime instru vs minimal techno. If carefully done, it couldn't be wrong.

He already did in some way, in the very beginning, together with his brother: Ali G: Before he was massive:

Finally someone who is not afraid to switch styles and mixes some minimal with dubstep. It's not that RV has the only right to do so, please continue. *bookmarked*

Love the track. Only not so keen on the fsol-sample.

If interested in Moog, you probably should see the interview vids with the man himself at the Red Bull Academy. If you didn't already, that is. link 1 link 2

Could you explain the details of this raw diet? Or is it just eating raw vegetables all throughout the year? That would be so wrong, even worse than macrobiotics.
