    Jungle/Drum & Bass - Breaking News, gossip, commentary, etc

    I just picked it up today, and although i've just had a listen in the shop, it sounds very promising. It's a touch more subtle than some of his 12s, and some of it is proper unsettling. I dig. Looking forward to mixing it up for sure. As for Dieselboy, I find his stuff works better if you...

    Blogs - what do you use?

    I'm curious about the technical ins and outs of blogs - what different services are available, what companies people use for hosting, how to make em look purty, that kind of thing. I'm planning on starting an mp3 blog, possibly a group one with some people from another site I frequent, so i'd...

    Burial interview @ Blackdown/Burial album

    Man, everyone's down on the Spaceape tune. I really like it. If any vocalist is gonna fit in to that sound, it's gonna be the Spaceape and his supply of anti-helium.

    anyone on last.fm?

    I know the feeling, I put Hawkwind into Pandora and it gave me back Bon Jovi. I was pretty horrified. And it had never heard of Spacemen 3!! I've had a lot of joy out of Last FM though...

    anyone on last.fm?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Through my own station, other people's, and tag stations I find lots of new stuff on there, or at least stuff that's new to me. Some of it's really good. What's not to like? Obviously, it's not the be all and end all of discovering music, but it's damned...

    anyone on last.fm?

    You can get a wee software doofer for logging the tunes you play on your ipod. I don't know any more than the fact it exists though.. I think the charts are moving over to a new system at the moment, and should be more reliable in the future. Ah, here you go...

    anyone on last.fm?

    I love Last.fm so much, i've subscribed. Definitely one of my favourite ways to track down good music. I'm donrosco there...

    "four to the floor"... my obsession.

    Pretty much the exact opposite happened with me - I listened to enough 4/4 (only about a years worth) to really turn me off it, and to hunt out anything that didn't have it. I was pretty militant about it. I can dig some of it now, but it has to be some primo shit to get me to stick it on...

    Torrent trackers?

    Niceness is evil, or why Dissensus is shit

    I know i'm a n00b here, but that shit is way out of line. Doesn't matter how 'committed counter-commonsensical' his positions were, or anything else. Droid, a 'Twisted Scumbag'? It would be laughable, if it wasn't delivered with such malice.

    Classic mistakes made by artists when they go to make an album?

    All true, but if you've made your name knocking out twelves, you're kind of between a rock and a hard place when it comes to doing an album. Do you throw together a load of floor tracks (inevitably one or two belters and a load of filler), stick on one or two 'leftfield' tunes? That would please...

    Burial interview @ Blackdown/Burial album

    The album is (one of) Boomkat's album(s) of the week. They appear to have a pretty narrow definition of 'the entire musical spectrum' though: ;) I got the album from Cargo yesterday. It's good, eh? Not quite hitting the heights I expected from all the talk yet, but I suspect it's a grower.

    'Gateway' bands

    Oh yeah -'Licensed to Ill'-era Beastie Boys led my adolescent ass to buying a Def Jam sampler with some track of theirs on it, which also had 'You're Gonna Get Yours' by Public Enemy. JESUS, did that ever knock me for six. It sounded like an alien invasion, and was pretty much ground zero for me...

    E2 E4

    Thanks for all the recommendations folks. I really love this kind of stuff, and it's a hard nut to crack sometimes. I did a DJing gig last year for the DEAF festival in dublin, it was just an hour set in a swish boozer. I brought along my mp3 doofer, started E2 E4 and sat back and relaxed...

    Jungle/Drum & Bass - Breaking News, gossip, commentary, etc

    Here's one from me that I did for a Hungarian net radio station. It's from last november, and starts with one of my favourite Naphta tunes - 'Home'.

    Burial interview @ Blackdown/Burial album

    It's totally possible. As Droid said earlier in the thread, there's a guy in Dublin who does all his music in Soundforge. The fact that we all think he's mental is immaterial - he gets it done. It's a non-issue. I'm more concerned about the bloody album not coming out for another ten bloody...
