those genres are as much, if not more, about house music than they are hardcore. he'd know this if he was going to northern clubs, for sure.

my youngest son has a pair of those. he sometimes insists on wearing them out, but once i made the mistake of addressing him as spiderman. identity is very important, if a somewhat confusing concept, to a four year old. "i'm NOT spiderman" and then getting really upset. i thought all kids wanted...

i'm sorry but its utter nonsense to say that comic book heroes didn't have the odd moment of doubting their own existence, its safe to say the person who wrote that hasn't read marvel comics in any depth whatsoever. spiderman, hulk, swamp thing, etc etc - each of those characters were tortured...

that phrase - "mindless rave music" - well, the average rave tune had more ideas and originality in it than a decade of dnb releases, no offence like. they are still rinsing out tired old rave ideas without a clue on how to integrate them properly still. the day they renamed jungle to dnb was...

well, its kind of fitting that a thread about k-punk has degenerated into squabbling, what with his well-worn mantra of conflict being good for forums. i'm sure he'd nod sagely and approve.

dave = dave stelfox. stelfox isn't his first name, you know that don't you? :) yeah, agree - wasn't arguing against positive discrimination, but drawing a parallel between calling african americans racists. jesus, these things get so complicated don't they? when people get in through the door...

alright ladies, thats enough! lol. i can't remember whether you said it either, but like the pair of you i can't be bothered to go back and forensically examine each of your messages.

yeah, i know what you mean. its took a long time for me to see it that way though. i was quite angry and bitter about my perception of other peoples priveledges in relation to my own background (i guess you could call it a chip on the shoulder, or maybe more like a plank) for a long time. all...

hilarious. i think there should be more than one fake sven, like some crazy swedish version of sparticus. "i am sven" "no, I am sven" etc.

you know, moodyman has said very similar things. on that planet e comp the first track has him muttering about white people and how they should listen to heavy metal. i loved it so much though, i didn't care. thing is, its well documented about the interchange of ideas between europe and the...

i might be totally off the mark here, but isn't k-punk from that very same background? they do enjoy a good knockabout, those public school boys, right or left. i might be talking utter shit though. i enjoy marks blog a lot, often post links to other forums but a lot of people who follow the...

ok, thats such a great summary. do you think he'd see things differently if he was a producer in london?

well me too, being welsh. but i had to let it go in the end, cos what was it acheiving for me, feeling bitter about the past? and i know how human beings are, if we'd been on top no doubt we'd have dished out shit. for fucks sake, we were the powerhouse, the military of the empire. its...

i can see what dave is saying here. its kind of like arguing against positive discrimination, cos it is discrimination in some form or another. however, everyone can be racist and i think its abhorrent. here in south london i've heard west indian people saying appalling things about poles, the...

yeah, and thinking about it, maybe an obsessive train spotter would be an even worse idea. wood for the trees, and all that. however, i accidently caught a kiss fm acid house anniversary fronted by oakenfold, which wheeled out the same old tired mythos. worse than that, the speed it accelerated...

come on thats not true at all, even for indie audiences. snoop, kayne west or eminem would have had the crossover appeal to have pulled that off, easily. even jurassic five for christs sake. are you really arguing that a mega star like eminem who had a uk number one is marginal for indie...

i was being whimsical, but surely you need more than just being a pill monster dj-shagger to do this - like an obsessive interest in dance music perchance? theres lots of clubbers who aren't really that arsed about the music, certainly wouldn't be standing them in front of the camera.

do you think having sex with djs is enough to qualify someone as a worthy journalist for the history of dance music?

and i tell you what i'm also finding a bit boring, which was fresh initially is all the myriad basic channel copyists. for a genre thats supposed to be so left field theres a huge amount of generic grainy scratchy dub-by-numbers techno workouts. however, moaning about the ratio of quality is an...

when you say electronic funk, do you mean stuff like hi tech jazz? cos that was the turning point where i stopped loving their output. i'm not down totally on techno, i reckon i've been to the same places as you over the years, loved the same djs and probably bought many of the same records...
