****warnining****this one could get a little abstract****warning***** Noticed a bit of musico-philosophical mini-meme in circulation Matos had this blogriff on my "where you're at/where you're from" blogriff, in the course of which he declared: “For a lot of us in the [pro-camp], it went...

just reviewed this Saint Etienne presents project and wonder what people thought about it i really enjoyed it but felt that in a weird way it over-aestheticized London, and in the process had to pretty much exclude the actual population of the city -- lots of deserted tableaus, attractively...

Tim Finney came up with an intriguing comment on an ILM thread, describing a certain contingent at Dissensus in the following terms (the comment coming out of a discussion of MIA aka Mud Hut Lady and the debates here about popism): "When one of them finally and openly says "I love this piece...

reviewing this boxset of talking heads albums, dualdisc jobs with the second discs containing a few videos but also the whole album again but in 5.1 surroundsound -- of course i don't have the capacity to play them in surroundsound nor the inclination (not even sure what it would entail --...

it's like two JG Ballard novels compacted into one --'the drowned world' meets 'High Rise' (i'm thinking here of the situation inside the Superdome where 20 thousand refugees are corralled---NYT today: "Fights and trash fires broke out at the hot and stinking Superdome and anger and unrest...

no, not the record companies themselves, i'm talking about the circular bit of paper in the middle of the record! just a few to get started: moving shadow (at least early; not sure what it looks like now) for some reason i'm attracted to the yellow RCA labels of the early Seventies also the...

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/story/0,13887,1527718,00.html i can't quite put my finger on why exactly i find this paean to his own iPod by dylan jones so revolting it's not that it's smug especially, more that it's just gross somehow -- like watching someone at a banquet gorging himself

.... please help me identify this monster 94-era ragga jungle tune that always gets played about five times a night any retro-jungle event or old skool rave (like friday's Dude Where's My Scene in brooklyn) i go to... one of the main vocal licks is: "yknow it's you-oo i'm-a talking to-oo" ?

reading nyc musician/writer alan licht's amusing monograph An Emotional Memoir of Martha Quinn, all about him as jim o'rourke-esque noisenik rediscovering his teen love of mtv pop, although the best stuff is actually on the 90s (what a strange time, groups like the melvins signed to major...

got the obvious ones (silver apples, wild bull), what do people think of the rest? i get the impression they're a bit meh.... specifically is Touch worth getting?

The last few return visits to the UK, i've felt genuine culture shock for the first time. ASBO's? Most confusing of all, "chav". Trying to track the happy slapping trend on the web to work out if it actually exists or is made-up, i stumbled on an anti-chav site...

someone in the maya thread, sorry forget who, said something that suggested that the art school pop tradition in the UK wasn't as strong as it was, that art schools had changed -- i've no basis on which to know but i wondered if this was true - certainly a huge proportion of the UK bands i...

couple of intriguing looking releases i saw while digging-- Bengt Hambraeus -- Constellations and Interferences -- attractively packaged mid-60 avantgarde music for organs w/ some electronic element Terry Riley -- Germ -- one of those Actuel releases i think -- another guy i'd not heard of on...

okay that got your attention someone asked me if i'd heard of an artist called Jessica Vale who is doing an electronic music project involving the sounds of people having sex seemingly a serious artist (it sounds a bit yoko/bottoms) not just someone aiming to titillate curious if A/...

-- how many mc versions of 'ice rink' were there? i got the impression there was at least 9, maybe a dozen, but only ever found 2 twelve inches with about 8 on. -- Big E.D. 'frontline (creepy crawler mix)" -- is the remix by Big E.D. or terror danjah? it sure sounds like terror, has the goblin...

excuse me while i pick the hive-mind brain -- 'boogieman' -- is that produced by terror danjah? --- is trim affiliated to a crew? --- who is he dissing on the flipside? -- wonder, is he black or white? he seems like exactly on the cusp between grime proper and Croydon Ting -- crazy tich...

i've been knocking about this idea for a while, but parody's not my forte, i can come up with the initial notion but not the follow-through (i started one of them Rhyme Contenders but only got as far as "State your location" , "Eassss (village, that is)"), anyway, i thought it might be a giggle...

spinning off the vince gallo thread: a pet peeve, this, but when precisely did people start using this word to describe: --- releasing a thematically-connected series of records on a small label -- selecting tracks for a compilation -- booking bands for a festival or themed event...

would i be right in thinking that Electro-Acoustic Works on nonesuch for $12 -- 7 quid at current exchange rates -- is a bargain? or is it Electronic Works that's the tres desirable one?
