    The role of 'the club' in r&b/hip hop

    'THE CLUB' has been EVERYTHING for URBAN type dance music since fricken disco or even the DanceHalls back in Jamaica. The paradigm is quite simple. The new 'tunes' are played in underground clubs, and the response will dictate the inevitable success - well it was once like that! But still, the...

    RYAN ADAMS, any love?

    I always found him to be a pretentious, pretty-boy twat, and kinda like the Frankenstein monster created by MOJO readers..I completely had no interest in this 'legend', until a mate dropped over the LOVE IS HELL Part2 CD>..Yeah, I kinda dig-it, very Neil Young/Big Star/Velvet Underground type...

    Yeah I agree. i thought 'Survivor' was interesting, then I read 'Invisible Monsters' which was pretty wanky, then read 'fight club' coz I liked the movie. By the time I got to 'Choke' (which I bought as a remainder, it became evident this guy had wasted many hours of my psychic space. I label...

    GOTH ROCK (or dark glam?)

    I don't mind some of Giras recent stuff with Angels of Light, but I used to pick on Swans' fans in their 'raping a slave' days, I'd egg them on to hurry up and commit suicide, shit like that! The Mission can get fucked. End of story. Deathrock, isn't that Slipknot offshot , I think they're the...

    GOTH ROCK (or dark glam?)

    Been listening to Sisters of Mercy, Floodland, great 80s pop/rock record. Sure they had their wanky goth image, but some great ROCK tunes to be found here, notably, Dominion, Theis Corrosion and Lucretia/My Reflection. Thier lead singer has a GREAT voice, and probably the main reason why none of...

    Yeah they get pretty into it. But still, do they get the long-term benefit? The person I know is still the shlepper they were to begin with, hence the 'addiction' cycle and isn't a good measure of it's success. But shleppers who became high-powered type as a result of doing it. So far the only...

    Not sure what to make of this one - is it Scientology for Yuppies/Corporate drones in middlesence? I've come across people who have done it and speak highly of it, though these aren't like close friends of mine..I remember reading that Chuck Palahniuk did it, and based alot of his themes and...

    I am a dad and I smoke weed...

    Just coz you have kids doesn't mean you can't stop being a hedonist. It hasn't stopped me. You just have to plan your time more and negotiate with yr missuses. Anyway, kids are more fun than drugs, coz drugs don't give you love.

    'Gateway' bands

    DHR were drek. But apparently alot of the Chicago-acid stuff was recorded @ Minstry's WaxTrax studios or whatever. Not sure how true this rumor is though, but it sounds nice.

    E2 E4

    A mate at work just lent me the E2E4 CD, and I listened to it in one go on the way to werk. It's really seminal in regards to the whole 'trunce' thing, and I was kinda shocked that is was recorded in 1981, which when you think about it was the BIG year for electronic-pop, I mean that you you...

    THE BLACK ALBUM (Prince) - Shit or Clay?

    I'm gunna be writing an exegesis on this album soonish. Just wondering what people think of this 80s record by Prince that was one of the most vaulable and legendary bootlegs, until it's official release in the mid-90s. There's some pretty devastating sounds in amongst the cheese, that will be...

    'Gateway' bands

    Funny that. It's like listen to these bands coz we're never gonna be that good. amazing how post late-80s British bands love to compare themselves to all these great bands when they just sound like Soup Dragons or Starsailor or some other crap.

    'Gateway' bands

    Like that 'gateway drug' concept that soft drugs lead to heroin, though in this case, 'softer bands' that have led people to discover more 'out there' or extreme types of music. The theory of Pink Floyd leading people onto Musique concrete or Nuggets-type psych bands is interesting, tho there...

    Talking Heads vs Sonic Youth

    Too right..The Smiths defintely for that over-produced 'nothing' guitar sound that every UK guitar band copied from the late 80s on..But there were more and prolly BETTER UK guitar bands that were sorta Vlevet influenced eg: JAMC, noisier C86 bands etc..I mean shit even the SMiths took a large...
