I guess no one has a theory on how we develop our sense of rhythm? There doesn't seem to be much information out there (on the internet). So anyway my best guess is that it's a mixture of genes and conditioning eg. being exposed to complex rhythms at a very young age. Anyway, to continue the...

Well if it didnt go onnnn and onnnn it wouldn't be Bmore Club! :) It's loop music at it's core.

I can see how it could slide into nostalgia but isn't the prerequisite for that slide a loss of hope that the future will bring more great memories? You assume I hate the present/future. When I said to 'escape my present state of mind' I meant that in a temporary sense, like the escape offered...

Sometimes but more to relive great experiences than to be in that part of my life. Eg, I would love to relive things like family holidays, playing 4-player Goldeneye on N64, adventures in the woods etc. But to be back in the closet in an all boys school...pass One thing I do like doing is...

What determines how well someone can follow or catch a rhythm? What makes it easy for some people to nod along to grime but hard for others for example? Why can't some people even clap along to house? This is a topic which has occupied my mind for a long time. My shallow dive into wikipedia has...

Well it's original name is Le Peuple Migrateur and outside the US/Canada it's English title was 'The Travelling Birds'.

Yeah bit of stretch I think but a novel theory anyway. What's this 90bpm London business all about?

I'm relatively young so I'm probably not the best to comment but I think my best days are ahead. However, I try not to judge my days or life in terms of good/better/best or anything - just try to roll with the punches and make the best of what is actually happening. On a related note, I read...

Travelling Birds. My brother bought this a while back and I put in when I was hungover/coming down and was completely enthralled. It's a documentary (with a bit of storytelling) about flocks of birds doing their annual migration. Most of the film consists of hypnotic shots of birds in flight...

^what an awesome expression

It would be quite jarring to have this video inserted into a normal MTV timeslot. 3 minutes of trippy squid between your average booty-ho/girl power/guitar band clips

I can see the grime connection - needs more brappage tho ;)

Sometimes. But not this time.

music goes la la laaaaa la laaaaaa /end contribution.

I agree. The internet provides a pool of information which anyone can take from, contribute or influence in ways less hindered by geography, social circles etc resulting in progression in any and all directions - in theory at least.

I get nicotine hangovers after a shisha smoking session. I don't smoke so it just throws my body out of order the day.

You can get backpacks with speakers in them. Still sound like crap though.

Surely, you could have worked Dewey into there somewhere ;) Anyway, on the grime and Fruity thing: the default Fruity sounds when you start the program up i.e. the very inorganic, plasticy kick, clap, highhat and snare samples seemed to have set the baseline sound palette for the whole genre. I...

yes, cubist anti-funk indeed! I always wanted a handy descriptor for the grime rhythm style.

Nice. Of course, the logical conclusion of this arms race is a xylophone *plink*plonk* screwface *plonk*
