    can we have a ysi thread

    Yeah, for sure. Villalobos is a good example really, his last couple of big tunes, Fizheuer Zieheuer and Primer Encuentro Latino-Americano are essentially just looped sections of old traditional music from, what hungry and chile? I forget which countries specifically. But when you hear the...

    can we have a ysi thread

    Hey don't let villalobos get a hold of that zhao, or else he'll put a backbeat and a filtered high-hat on it, loop it for half an hour and release it as his next single :D Really though I love this track and would humbly request a share. You're on fire these days music-recommending-wise. I...

    The Carbon Thread

    There's currently an ad running for the "enviro card" visa offered by a local credit union which features a couple getting ready for their work day in the washroom, with the wife busily hairspraying her hair and hubby dumping on the spray-on deodorant, all the while discussing the advantages of...

    British Legion Poppies

    you're basically quoting the administrations justifications for the war and going "yup sounds believable to me!" This has been discusses elsewhere in a bunch of different threads but "time to save the iraqis!" argument is just unbelieveably unbelievably naive. also what gavin said.

    Britney

    Uhhh...celebrity breakdowns as the newest fashion fad? I think that's a bit glib. Though I suppose celebs have been milking the "look at all the trials i've been through and how I've persevered" line for quite a while. The thing about Britney is that there's something genuinely kinda scary...

    Britney

    Yeah I think Britney's actually become a quite intersting figure these days. It's just too bad that it had to come at the cost of her mental/physical health (not to mention pretty much guaranteeing her kids a very fucked upbrining). I really hope she pulls through all this, I think she'd...

    Songs with coughing in

    the beach boy - wendy, during the organ solo (best organ solo evah!!) someone coughs in the background. Somehow it only adds to things. I always wonder why, with all the studio-obsessiveness of brian wilson, that they chose to go with the coughing version, i'm sure they knew it was in there...

    Britney

    I really like the stylus haiku on her new album: Britney Spears - Blackout It is mean that your handlers give you beats but not an intervention. big up britney. my one roomate put up a big poster of her in our living room which all our other roomates hate. Philistines! Britney is great (also...

    Idm

    I remember finding Achso very IDM-y when it came out, especially the last track Ichso reminded me a bit of earlier more melodic Autechre stuff

    music you've been enjoying lately

    Yeah really enjoying that gamelan disk, zhao. But "Kecak (Chanting)"!! Just mind-melting. I'm perfectly sober in the middle of the work day and I was just struck dumb in mesmerized awe for the entirety of that track. Quite shocking, really, almost don't know what to think of it.

    Worst Mistake in History of Human Race

    Zhao, between this and your juice-fast stuff, you might have the most intellectual relationship with food out of any one I know :) I like it actually, it's interesting to put such an emphasis on it. Anyway, as for this actual article, I certainly don't think it's crazy to argue that the human...

    this radiohead thing then.

    the funny thing is that for me as a dance music fan hot chip made a version of indie that I could find palatable, whereas I usually can't stand the dreck. which is sort of the reverse of what everyone here is accusing them of...

    Vogue

    yeah that's pretty horrifying. there's all sorts of real creepy red-white-and-blue "American" fantasies being played out there...war porn, essentially.

    Newish House/Techno LP's I should own

    Okay having now listened to the pan-pot album two times in a row I can now say this is probably my fave techno LP of the year so far. Consistently great, interesting production throughout, and the way it goes from all this dark deep minimal techno into the soothing deep-house of "faces" at the...

    Newish House/Techno LP's I should own

    I'm really really enjoying the new pan-pot LP. It's everything I hoped it would be, super dark, super detailed evolving long-form tracks. lots of strange panning effects and sounds, yet also very dancey--the beat is very upfront and grooving the whole time. Anyway, is it just me, or is this...

    Villalobos Fabric 36- Thoughts?

    guybrush: the fabric mix IS only his own productions, and thus double-hyped. Personally I fine villalobos very context-specific. You have to be very much in the right mindset to really get into all the intricate details, usually late at night...I haven't hit that stage yet with this mix, but...
