    Hip-Hop - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    I don't know how you assess how many languages are spoken in immigrant-rich cities like london and NYC, but I'd have to throw the t-dot (i.e. toronto) into the mix too. I have no idea how many languages are spoken here, but my god it'd have to be a lot. As for neighbourhoods where ppl don't...

    In-ear headphones

    ha! as if! You can never go wrong with Shure. IF you weren't being sarcastic, these should allay any buyer's remorse. This, is the CEO of v-moda: He claims to "live the hollywood lifestyle."

    Vocal Pop Music -- Do you listen to lyrics?

    yeah, I mean I don't think too many ppl would hold up Kiss as standard bearers for traditional rockist authenticity (besides the PARTY PARTY PARTY aspect). Maybe something like Aerosmith would be a better candidate?

    nah, it was To the Beat at Spadina and College. A bunch of stores in Toronto are now stocking Dubstep vinyl (4 that I know of: Play de, 2 the Beat, Slinky, Rotate This!)

    Vocal Pop Music -- Do you listen to lyrics?

    kind of on the same page as you soundslike, w/r/t sexism in rock. Probably b/c my parents didn't grow up in rock-listening places, I know hardly any of that dinosaur rock. In fact, people always find that precise gap so shocking in someone who is, you know, a pretty big music fan...

    Hip-Hop - breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    forgetting for a sec all this nice unpleasantness: PD, your response was super totally reasonable and non-angry!! HOWEVER: You mentioned Canada. I'm from Canada. And It's been a while since I've blown away by anything from my city (toronto). Granted, I'm no head, much more of a tourist w/r/t...

    Werner Herzog vs Rambo...

    there was a pretty interesting New Yorker article on this as it was being filmed. Mostly recounting the same old stories about how incorrigible the old weirdo is, and some new ones too about how he can't get along with the Hollywood producers behind new movie. Also a surreal story about him...

    Brilliant shorts you've seen

    I'm of only a slightly newer vintage (born in '83), and NFB sights and sounds still have some (though not as much) hold over me. The animation for the Logdriver's Waltz is a classic. I love all the sort of blippy bloopy animations of dots extending into lines and folding into circles. Did you...

    DUBSTEP- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    cool, cool. It's definitely #6 I'm interested in then. I heard the villalobos mix in one of his mixes, and while I liked it, it just didn't have a lot of what I liked about the original (e.g. the percussion! and bass!). Although I like some of villalobos' own stuff (just Achso really). The...

    de "Reissues Marketplace"

    yeah, I also saw it's Woebot's #3 rekkid. I got the sense he wasn't really part of the noisy no wave set, and all writing on him seems to place him as a loner genius... What's it called (i.e. what search terms should I use?)?, and where should I look? looking forward to it!

    Digital Media Theory articles

    Any of the more techy here have any background in information theory? I had a smidgen of it in a computational linguistics course, and it all seemed pretty interesting (as someone who is interested in traditional/formal linguistics, psycholinguistics and Cog Sci computational modeling in...
