Nicely summed up, mate. MIA, at least in my abstract theoretical conception, MIA is the necessary pop-hybrid crossover act. Its very rare for a 'pure' underground trailblazer to be the crossover act. Like, it wasn't Mudhoney that broke grunge, it was Nirvana. It wasn't Acen that broke rave to...

Yeah, fair point. I guess I can't get past all the people at uni who used to loooove radiohead and thought Kid A was like some incredible genius space music beamed in from a higher intelligence (Thom) who could see years ahead of us. Argh. The musics actually okay, its those fans that kill me...

'competes'? in the sense that there is a buying public who are making choice between expending their scarce resources on baile funk and grime records who are now going to purchase mia records instead? i find it hard to imagine such a listener - they are effectively part of different markets...

Nice stuff, now what I'd like to hear is the reverse: grime accapellas over some nice bubblecrunk.

two parts to this: the statement, "i listen to good music", does not imply that i listen to all music that is good, only that i listen only to music that is good. there can be good music i haven't heard yet. so you suggest silence as a response? i think not. the point of saying 'i listen to...

I don't see why - its a subjective statement - and anyone who asks me the question and doesn't appreciate that what is 'good' is subjective, deserves what they get coming to them.

WB, much as i love your work - here i'm going to disagree: what really is the problem? the main complaint seems to be that she co-opts underground sounds to fuel a pop record. so what? more people should be doing it, if the underground artists are unwilling to make something popularly...

i say that i like good music.

I can't believe no-one's mention Windowlicker! There's the obvious momentary breakdown in middle where you hear the orgasmic gasps/squeals, but the entire track seems to made somehow out of sexual groans and so forth. Anyone know more? I'd love to hear more. The sheer genius of making a...

MC5 fucking killed it when they came to melb last year, fronted by Mark Arm. Unbelievably good, maybe my fave concert after Liars. Sorry to hear the new replacement isn't up to scratch.

The main character used to be the Shogun's personal assassin.

No worries mate, look as if we're on the same page :D That said, I do remember hearing an awful lounge-style cover of gin and juice, probably by that Richard Cheese guy. I'm quaking in revulsion as I type.

Of course, it would be an act of racist emasculation to take away these mens' justified anger and their attempt to draw themselves up above the morass of their social situation viz. Eazy in 'Boyz', "Dumb ho said something that made me mad/ she said something that I couldn't believe / so I...

I'll preface this by saying that - after downloading the song, I read the rest of this thread and was totally turned off. I was on the edge of deleting the track and I decided to give it a listen; after a few seconds of groaning, it started to work and by the time it was done I had concluded...

Shoot me, but I love 'Killer', 'Crazy' and 'Kiss From a Rose'. Trevor Horn is a guru.

MOTU Digital Performer 4 and Elektron Monomachine for sequencing. Just trying to figure out how to work out a nice workflow involving both.

That is potentially the most awful, evil, offensive thing I have heard in the last several months. I am presently quivering with righteous indignation. Such a suggestion is fundamentally wrong insofar as music is listened to by millions of different individuals; not by this hypothetical...

Yeah, fuck, theres been a few disappointments this year... NERD album (its shit) NERD live (we want Chad) Beans (when did he lose his phreeky beat? when earl blaize stopped producing) Airborn Audio (good, but not Antipop good) !!! album (nowhere near as good as the Guilani EP) The Neptunes...

Yeah, I found it pretty shit. But then Ju-On is still my #1 horror film, closely followed by the US ver of Ring.

Used to watch that as a kid, with Tracy the gorilla, yeah, fantastic, I'd love to see those again, the original pre-film Ghostbusters cartoons - the post-film cartoons were shithouse.
