That's terrible news! Such a massive contribution, and still so young . . . simply awful.

So much comes to mind on this topic! Was just thinking about some of the nyc art stars of the 1980s. Robert Longo, a very successful painter who also dabbled in music videos and film, was part of the no wave/nyc thing in the late 1970s. He had a band, if I remember correctly (can't remember...

Christian Marclay is another one who does both sound art and visual art. He's primarily known in music circles for turntablism, but this is somewhat deceptive, as he is highly active in the visual art world as well. Marclay reminds me of Jonah Bokaer, a young ballet dancer (the youngest ever...

Yes, exactly. There is a documentary about him called "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" that is well worth watching, its a moving film. Johnston's work was featured in this year's Whitney Biennial - there was a whole wall devoted to him, I noticed. Also at this year's Biennial there was an...

I can't see the flyers, but that sure looks like an interesting line-up to be on, Confucius. You'll have to tell us how it goes. :)

(reich, not cage - sorry to be annoying here) And yes I agree with you on this point, though to be honest a lot of steve reich's music can be quite elegiac and dark, e.g. different trains

Hey Don Rosco, not sure if you are using the aqua or the black skin, but if your 'new posts' option doesn't work on aqua, then you can also try it on the black: first you must click on "search" at the top of the page, and then, when you do, a series of choices will pop up/down - one of which is...

I have the Typewriter EP and think it's great . . . in the end I don't always love everything that Colin makes (he's a prolific fellow), but definitely, I always want to hear whatever it is that he is producing, no matter the genre.

Deerhoof have a reputation for being very good live, though I've never seen them. Would like to though.

Am sure that everyone knows this already, but you can select a skin from a number of options in the lower lefthand corner (or for some, middle) of the main page. The 'default' skin is actually somewhat close to the old Nick skin, on my computer at least, since it comes complete with similar...

I don't have an opinion either way (and I started one), but before people vote they should probably take a look at this thread, which began at the end of August 2005 when K-punk vociferously objected to the number of grime threads; and if you don't wish to read the whole thread, then at least...

bit of discussion previously here, here and maybe here

at the moment, there will be no distro outside of north america, unfortunately

same comparison was made on ilm, fwiw

some discussion here

Nice one, Mr. Statto. :) Yes, I'd even say that there is a little rivulet of leftfield dnb that has incorporated glitch as an essential part of the sonic palette. Sileni, Martsman, Dissident, and Graphic come to mind as standouts in that sense. Martsman has said that it was Sileni's TDR...

Thanks Gabba, fair point and I hope that you are right. I don't follow guitar+drums music close enough anymore to know if it's gotten tighter over the last 6 years or not, but it'd be great if it were so. In any case, it wasn't my intention to make the "there are no good indie drummers"...

I agree, and I've always wondered why when Bloc Party were discussed on dissensus - a board so heavily devoted to 'beats' - rarely if ever did anyone mention the merits of the drummer. Whether or not a person likes or hates the band (I have no opinion on them either way, though dissensians seem...
