lol what a hysterical nutter

Haha no one here is actually trying to suggest DJ's shouldn't look like they are enjoying themselves when they perform are they? Sometimes this forum reaches near self-parody.

I've never read any of this Joe Mugg's stuff before, but he's an unpleasant motherfucker isn't he? If popping in, confounding a discussion with questionably relevant and totally unclear arguments about binaries, and then announcing your disappearance for 18 months when no one understands what...

FWIW, this is exactly my opinion as well. Also a lot of that future garage/UK reworked house bag just doesn't really have that certain aesthetic quality that ties all the other London pirate radio genres together - that certain unique quality I can't be bothered to define right now (no less...

Oh, god. I didn't even realize people did this until I went to go see DJ Shadow do a concert. I got involved in a tense situation that almost escalated into a physical fight when some moron started giving my tall friend some grief about moving because this moany punter "couldn't see." Remember...

I just about sprayed tea through my nose with that one.

This might be obvious, but Flannery O'Connor is a good bet. She's like Cormac McCarthy, but with half the words. Southern Gothic O.G.

Yeah yeah yeah...

To be honest, my biggest problem with the death of vinyl isn't even an issue of sound quality or whatever, it's the fact that everyone can become a DJ now off of their massive multi-gigabyte illegally downloaded music library on their computers. Quality control has gone down the shitter. Before...

And also it's not like many (if any) of the people he cherry-picked from here have the pretensions or attendant responsibilities of being professional music journalists. If he is citing anonymous quotes from internet message boards, that's not exactly the level of professionalism you expect from...

I don't think the call here is for total depth, but really just evidence of any kind of depth whatsoever. I can recall Simon Reynolds complaining about Hyph Mngo in particular, but in other places you find him taking specific criticisms like that and applying it universally over some unclear...

Well, sure, that's a possibility, but if it's true it only really confirms that he doesn't have much to say. Remember, this guy has had some pretty insightful and influential views about this kind of thing, so if he's descended to internet trolling now, it's hardly much of a defense is it? The...

I think you've characterized Reynolds' distaste for this kind of music accurately and hit exactly on the main problem of some of his criticisms. His broad, generalizing reproof of this very widely defined style is completely ignoring the fact that, while he is quite right in saying that some of...

This is off E-40's Graveyard Shift. I really like this one. It's a story about a wrong 'un E-40 knows, but the way it's told combined with the spooky sounding production makes it sound like a campfire ghost story. E-40's eccentricities put a genuinely funny spin on what is otherwise pretty dark...

I actually found it a little bit unmemorable. I'll give it another whirl though on better speakers.

I love how uncomfortable OG Niki is making everyone. You've got a culture of young men talking about fucking and shooting guns and robbing and selling drugs, and the second a young woman talks about how she likes a bit of cock, it's a moral outrage.

All I know is that if I had to listen to morally perfect music for the rest of my life I would fucking kill myself immediately.

I also live in Canada, and I've found that since the exchange rate became more manageable it's actually cheaper for me to order from the UK rather than special order from a store here. It turns out that a lot of the time the sale price and the postage of the record in pounds ends up being less...

I mean, that's obviously a pretty extreme piece of advice, but I think the point he was making was that anyone who saw the suggestion as being a bit ridiculous would already be the kind of person who tends to see disagreeing with the arguments or aims of a particular theory as a reason to study...

That is a fantastic line. Don't know who it is though.
