dunno if I buy that tbh or would give it the same weight but the tune sounds like something he made on his phone in the taxi over

yeah that's but even more reason to expect someone with West resources and talent to do better than lifting loops wholesale from tunes you'd find on every 'house classics' cd. A dance producer of similar status would be slated for it.

DJ in a pub here every other week and played more grime last night than any time previously. Had been inching bits in here and there to see what I could get away but did around 45 minutes at the peak of the night and it went off nicely. Given I started about a year ago playing mostly old Philly...

time it posted probably gives a hint tbh

NYC late 70s >>>>> massive blur >>>> mid nineties I reckon if you came of age old enough to get an early pint in CBGB, leave for a party up Bronx River Houses before dancing away the rest of the weekend at the Loft, you would earn a solid foundation for what's ahead. Sure you would spend the...

yeah, Id say getting the opportunity to indulge yourself and being lauded for it doesn't build the most amiable character or receptiveness to the needs of others around you. There is a very long list of neglected wives and lonely children with genius fathers. Being relieved of the more mundane...

There are very few of the real greats in any creative field whose domestic or private life would endear you. Wealth, fame, touring, addiction, etc, make for a lot unconventional living and plenty opportunity for unsavoury behaviour. That's one side of it at least, sometimes they're just...

I like the atmospheres on it more than anything but I get you. Feeling the flip a lot more and im usually not a big fan of this stiff dancehallish stuff but the subs and double time bits that creep in and out are good. Would def go off if the room was heaving

I am a big fan of radio and its various modern incarnations. There is a lot of shit talk about people now having everything on demand and 'consumers' wanting to cherry pick the best tunes from an album and all that. In parallel, words like 'curate' have been debased by all sorts of...

Saw Gaga named checked a lot but is it purely based on style? Surely Róisín Murphy is a better shapeshifting heir if that's the case Here's an interesting enough look at Bowie's record collection http://vinyloftheday.com/blogs/news/88660038-confessions-of-a-vinyl-junkie-by-david-bowie

The Star magazine/groupie stuff is bleak as fuck and inexcusable but crucial difference is Kelly is a well documented and persistent predator who sings almost exclusively about his sexual prowess

no way? small world innit

It's not just grief though and even it was so what. Emotional attachment and music go hand in hand like no other and someone with a career like Bowie's will be associated with countless experiences in a person's life. People have grown old listening to him. I was always occupied with something...

Struck by the amount of people with stories in which he comes across very well. Not the usual recently-deceased-was-also-a-lovely-bloke variety but genuinely both extraordinary and ordinary encounters people had.

lol, maybe, though it's post-Trans Europe Express Kraftwerk would be have been the real influence on Techno and HipHop. How much credit could be attributed to Bowie is another story.

further to his auteur status

maybe he really was from outer space eh?

omg

One of those guys that was such a constant and so prolific that you just assumed he would be around forever. A real icon
