i love those records too - i'd add to that sex in zero gravity by eddie flashin fowlkes, a track that does bring me to tears actually but not because of mawkish strings, but more such a powerful wave of nostalgia for times lost (and how different my life is now in comparision) that its almost...

your poo is alien and twisted? ;) yeah of course, too much of anything good is erm, bad. but personally thats what i like. of course you need something to throw the alien shit into sharp relief which is why the chicago house djs always trump their detroit counterparts. songs and fucked up...

well, some of that stuff you mention is awesome and some of it so-so (everything moodyman has done since that planet e comp is distinctly patchy and every album is slightly weaker than the last imo) but the best house music ever? not a chance in hell. that stuff is a technoheads idea of house...

yeah and its precisely those strings that sound fucking tired to me. its like the producer wants a pavlovian response "this tune is supposed to be emotional". its as lazy a signifier as any other hoary old cliche in dance music. techno from elsewhere is way more alien and twisted imo. its not...

that was a joke btw, although i do think lost sums up the indie student side of dance music, theres something about those mega-serious techno nights that exclude any kind of glamour. i'm not one of those people who think clubbing is just about music (or drugs come to that). lost seems very...

what a load of fucking nonsense. theres loads more to uk flavas than big beat, and detroit dropped the ball a long time ago, probably cos they started beleiving their own BS. and if you want real soul in US dance music you should look equally towards chicago (and if you open those floodgates...

yeah and everyone knows the uk rave mythos is much cooler anyway. fuck the purists! but it is kind of fun baiting them, and theres so much material. derrick may (hysterical self-aggranisement, appalling rate of production, patchy djing, obnoxious behaviour - alledgedly) - nuff said. URs...

were you tempted to get ketted up in kettering?

LOL. yes, thats what we need - ketamine-themed daytime tv. wonder if anyone would notice. certainly not john lilly, as he'd be part of it! i wonder if he also communes with the fruit & veg when he does his weekly shop at sainsburys, on ketamine.

well, that sounds a lot more likely than "its those evil social networks" like as if bebo is all about assisted suicide rather than a bunch of teens chatting shit. but theres definitely something very weird about it. like i say, it was infinitely more depressing 20 years ago and you didn't have...

people accuse me of this all the time. the association between topics makes perfect sense when you are prior to your own internal monologue, and if people can't keep up, well....

talking about using sound as an offensive weapon, the bland maddingly repetitive train announcement chatter you get when commuting in the morning make my head throb when i'm hungover. even in the quiet carriage its turned up to eleven which i find way more offensive than a loud ipod. in fact i...

and thats not to mention a deeper resonation, less about vibration and more about deep emotional or semiotic recognition. ok, its not going to burst your blood vessels even thought its sometimes felt that intense in the middle of a rave.

mate, i love this post - its gone off topic half way through which has to be a first. i grew up near bridgend and yeah its fucking depressing but no more so than any dull uk town. and these days its certainly a better place to live than it was when i was growing up in the eighties. but i never...

this is not accurate - people were calling hardcore "jungle" or the perennial "jungle tekno" as far back as 1991. for me its all jungle, never cared for drum n bass. its also got fuck all to do with racism epithets although i guess people can read into terms whatever they want. i've got stuff...

"We all get issues where we get angry, but we don't resign over them" yeah, and thats why people hate the rank and file of the labour party just as much, if not more than the leaders - gutless bastards who've endorsed every shit policy.

or they could just shut their mouths, climb graciously into their own graves, accepting that there are some politicians left who still have a shred of integrity remaining.

it is pretty much all they say when it comes to an election and people are rightly hammering them for all the shit they've done - its wheeled out as a mealy mouthed plea "do people really want the tories back". what exactly do they have to boast about right now? theres more people in poverty...

ha ha, busted. no, i'm an old man, i don't make it to clubs very often these days (thats discounting the incredible e'd up blast of a night i had unexpectedly and spontaneously at plastic people listening to kenny larkin take the fucking roof off with brain-melting acid house). i listen to...

authoritarianism is a key component of the left, especially the hard left. its not about freedom, never has been. and thats from someone who regards themselves as left wing.
