    Iain Sinclair

    thanks for the link hm - it's vintage sinclair really isn't it? evoking all sorts of things without ever really bothering to make a cogent critique of the film but sporadically interesting and informative nonetheless - I reckon he actually quite liked it

    Iain Sinclair

    I think you might be confusing Petit with Patrick Keillor who made Robinson in Space & London. I caught some of Petit & Sinclair's film 'The falconer' on TV once and didn't realise that that was what it was at first, just thought what is this pretentious crap - but I found a lot of Lights Out...

    Blueberries.

    turkish shops round here sell a delicious imported blueberry juice in litre cartons, good substitute for red wine if you're on the wagon - apart from the fact that it doesn't get you pissed of course

    John Eden and Paul Meme present Lyric Maker (from England and Jamaica): an eighties d

    this mix is ace, been listening to it repeatedly - it's bypassed my usually miniscule attention-span and become the soundtrack to the last week or so bringing back some choice memories (like when I first moved to london & drum pan sound was booming out all over dalston) and many fresh...

    Bjork?

    the 'avant-garde' madonna, voice sounds exactly the same on every record but the backing music changes with the times

    Alias Wavefront's Maya

    agree with ome's comments there re: other packages. I tried for quite a while to get to grips with maya but ultimately realised that it's just way beyond what I need in terms of functionality & therefore too complicated. I think unless you're doing character animation then other 3d apps have a...

    Black Devil Disco Club

    artist: black devil LP: disco club lp title is so prosaic considering the weirdness of the contents but you're right, run together it paints a more interesting picture

    Black Devil Disco Club

    there's mp3s of the full album floating around - not amazing quality but worth having - if u want i can upload them, after all, seeing as there's supposedly only a few hundred of the LPs in existence and the reissue is inadequate, there's no feasible legitimate way of getting hold of the other...

    help - mac nightmare!

    i just used font book for the first time on osx 10.3 and just brought in a few new fonts - now there is some problem with one of the fonts which just displays special characters instead of normal letters - look what it does to dissensus people's names frinstance - this happens on some web pages...

    balearic house

    izit's stories is very much acid jazz, but that just goes to prove that anything can be balearic ;) as a trivia aside, i think their label - tongue & groove - turned into the drum&bass label hospital records or something like that

    Is Ardkore Finally Dead?

    yep it was definitely not just a london thing - hardcore blossomed in outdoor raves all over the britain, clubs in the north as well as in london & the south, places like sterns way outside of metropolitan areas. It's that lack of spread & parochialism of current scenes that supports woebot's...

    Is Ardkore Finally Dead?

    I think lightning bolt have absorbed something from hardcore thus fusing it with its unrelated (except semantically) namesake but it might be my imagination it does seem though that the business of sampling & cutting -up breakbeats from funk or funky rock drummers, now at least 25 years old...

    Tim Westwood

    you have to respect him at least a bit because he has been promoting hip hop in this country for so long and is still on top of it. I've even heard it said that, by breaking US hip hop in this country via his capital show, he paved the way for its popularity throughout the rest of the world and...

    balearic house

    never making it to vol.2 seems to be the hallmark of a balearic comp! simon, for the current state of balearica see recent mixes by harvey, balearic mike & moonboots (pm me & i'll sort you out if u want)

    balearic house

    your nans might be already be sucking eggs proper but: balearic = balearic islands = ibiza the original balearic djs were spanish or hispanic such as jose padilla & alfredo - they played all sorts of music including nascent house tunes from the us but also new beat, pop, aor, latin, new age -...

    sideways

    but as you pointed out this is a mainstream big-studio financed picture not a real indie. Having seen it in a cinema with a big fairly broad audience i just don't think it's excluding. Yes there a are a few nod wink references like the robbe-grillet one but you don't have to get them to...
