in a way there's a kind of masochistic thrill in knowing that one day in the next couple of years i'll get up on a saturday morning to find my kids have shoved a bunch of records down the back of a hot radiator or something. it makes me appreciate my vinyl all the more now, un-crayolaed.

you can throttle the bandwidth used by most backup software of this sort, so you can drip feed your data into the cloud if you don't want to piss off your ISP. and once it's done, it's done, except for whatever you add to your library later. i know it's a trite thing to say :D but if you ever...

i had a dodgy channel fader cause this once, but i've experienced it in other setups too where the fader wasn't to blame...

i only really record mixes rather than individual records. i use an Edirol R09 handheld recorder plugged into my mixer and record straight to 44.1kHz 16 bit WAV. then i EQ and normalise it in Logic and correct as many of my level fuckups as i can by drawing in some automation. i'm mostly very...

when i first decided i needed to do this, i had to let it upload constantly for 10 days straight, but i don't notice it now as it just backs up incrementally. FWIW, i use SugarSync and it works well, that link from Blackdown is also a similar service. i hope i never have to use it and download...

zomby? what about his remix of actress...it's great: http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=286951

vinyl isn't dead to me, although most of what i buy is dubstep and related stuff. any digital tracks i buy end up getting a few plays on my iPod and then being forgotten about - there's nothing more motivating than a stack of vinyl in the corner of the room making you feel guilty for not playing...

i think the IDM fear is wholly understandable. no one, but NO ONE, wants THAT to happen to the music they love.

oh man, i'd go except my wife is dropping twins mere days before. i'd wear my steve goodman standard issue M-65 field jacket too, because i am a S-U-P-E-R-F-A-N

ah i see now... MARCH 25TH TOUGH LOVE Bok Bok / The BPM / Lixo / Braiden / Ddf 10 to 2 £6

it's on the calendar (http://www.plasticpeople.co.uk/calendar.shtml) but dunno how reliable that is. i've seen some twitter chat about a night at PP tomorrow, just wondered if it's Fwd or something else...

does anyone know if fwd is on tomorrow?

a bloke at work swears this is the work of mr james, and a bit of cursory googling seems to back that up. the songs made me laugh but i'm not convinced that making a shitload of money and then putting the boot in to your core demographic who parted with their hard-earned (dweebs though they may...

anyone come across these tracks? they're genuine, apparently: http://www.myspace.com/thetussmusic aphex twin must REALLY hate his fans. i can barely listen to this. i mean they're very funny, but....jesus. nasty too.

simon reynolds be damned, the first (and only, in my book ) Logical Progression comp and the tunes on it will always have a special place in my heart.

oh and cheers for this - i was looking for a new monicker for my creative er, efforts...."fifty quid soundboy" it is! sums me up perfectly - just switch coldplay for hyperdub: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2004/mar/01/popandrock2

argh. memories of a conversation in my home town at christmas in which rusko was ernestly referred to as an "originator"

i read it. the bits that i liked i really, really liked but i don't have the philosophical / academic grounding to do the bulk of it any justice. i could parse the sentences without too much bother (although they're willfully dense) but failed utterly to understand why much of what he said was...

this isn't how i read blackdown's "decoupling" comment - more that, at this point in time, the music coming from producers who are stepping down to 130 from 140 is overall of a higher standard...

pretty much, but actually on first listen that track is not completely without merit imho *ducks*
