Yes, it is. (your sp was correct, btw)

Apart from the fact that I disagree with you about Warp (Clark, Jackson, Grizzly Bear, all strong albums), it's not very polite to speak with such condescension about a label where one of the by far most knowledgeable and insightful people around here works.

Akron/Family's new album Meek Warrior is out. It's not really my cup of tea exactly, but I like many of the ingredients (electronics, noise, free jazz horn wail, Hamid Drake) and look forward to seeing where they go with it. Saw em play live in so cal in december, they're playing my town next...

Caroliner, or Caroliner Rainbow, as they were also known, have been one of the more enigmatic groups for the past 20+ years, and after a multi-year hiatus, they've gotten back together to play live shows again. If you've seen them live, you will understand that this is an event. I saw them...

And your point is? How about mentioning the rather memorable fact that Gavin Newsom was the first mayor in US history, on February 12, 2004, to legalize gay and lesbian marriage in the city over which he presided, and by doing so set off a firestorm throughout the country and helped to move...

I don't know a single human being who believes that Al Gore plans to run for president. And for the record, talk of global warming was prevalent even in tiny midwest farm towns as early as the mid 1980s, so I don't see that right-wing attempts to attach the concept to Al Gore are anything but...

A ha, I see. Great, thanks, staypuft. I see that you yourself are holding it down in LA. :D

Looks good, Ben! Say, regarding the intex material, is James making dubstep now, or are those dnb-oriented (sorry, a bit out of the loop) ?

Ask Marc by sending a PM to bassnation, he's the good chap responsible for them. Fantastic, aren't they?

I completely agree with what you say about tech step and breakcore's maleness -- many people share your view -- but I don't consider Johnny Dark to be all that. I mean, I bought it, I played it out, it's okay, but one of the year's best, I didn't get that.

I take it you missed the second installment of woebot tv. And Simon Reynold's writing, and K-punk's blog, and Jess Harvell's writing, and . . .

So did anyone see JN perform in the UK? I've read a few reviews. (Not that this thread would be the place to discuss it, given the dungpile that the thread turned into . . . but I thought I'd ask anyway.) Myself, I had a ticket to see her on Dec 17 in San Diego but she cancelled on account of...

Was listening to this today. Hailed by many as a classic psyche record, it came out in 1969, and is a much sought after vinyl rarity. The only one released under the Arzachel name. Supposedly recorded in a day. Dave Stewart and Steve Hillage formed the band in late '67, were originally...

Also known as Cassette and Compact Disc, depending on the format. What do people around here think? Came out in '85, so falls just out of the purview of RIUSA, (there may well be a reference to Album in RIUSA, but I couldn't find it a moment ago when I looked). It's an odd record, with an...

Right, I see what you mean about mascis' rendering of 'storminess' through the guitar playing. And also couldn't agree with you more about dirty, it's packed to the gills with noise sections, and very sonically interesting ones at that. Saw that tour too, and the noise sections were...

really? what album are you thinking of? or do you mean live? Not disagreeing with you, just curious. Mascis always seemed to be much more about the rock guitar solo thing (which I never cared for, found objectionable tbh) than the oceanic feedback noise trip (which I prefer), though I admit...

Eno is now composing music for a generative video game called Spore? I know nothing about this kind of thing, just noticed it by way of links from other Eno type music people. If it's been mentioned before, apologies. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=71836

I do too, and I hope she finds success in the US or elsewhere.

Same old story, yada yad. I want to hear the jungle experiment demos, is what.

Saxophonist Michael Brecker, whose work with older brother Randy in the The Brecker Brothers contributed to the jazz fusion and jazz funk idioms emerging in the late 70s, also passed away yesterday. He had worked with Billy Cobham and Herbie Hancock, among others, and played on countless...
