perhaps, but "modern" consciousness begins with a sense of separation from the ancient past, i.e., the renaissance project was aimed at recovering as much of the classical past as could be done -- which meant very little i.e., the byzantines had a sense of "continuity" with the classical past...

groups of three or four people who take up the entire width of the sidewalk, i.e., walking four abreast or shoulder-to-shoulder, such that it's a serious hassle to pass them by

in law, which perhaps differs here from science, the exception modifies the rule

and, as noted upthread, it's definitely a pan-latin phenomenon not simply puerto ricans and dominicans but also ecuadoreans, peruvians, mexicans, guatemaleans -- all crazy about reggaeton but not jamaican or haitian or trinidad/tobago or guyana -- and therefore it surprises me that somebody...

i hear reggaeton on my street 24/7, somebody's always having a party or playing cards and i simply cannot appreciate the music, such a monotonous racket (i like reggaeton only insofar as i think it adds "character" to the neighborhood, which is pathetically tourist-y and middle-class on my...

i think the place at essex and rivington has been closed for a while now, as in over a year but yeah, i got some great early 80s stuff there b/c george didn't know it of course, that's the rule for any used shop, i.e., the owner/staff will know and value some kinds of records, and not know the...

"we are your friends" is fairly ubiquitous in these parts, and i must say that i find it hard to resist when out at a bar but much easier to resist at the record shop i don't own anything by justice, but i have "pop the glock"/"ready to uff" by uffie on ed banger, which i think is a wonderful...

kariya's "let me love you for tonight" is a true classic as for todd terry productions, i like his underground mix of "watcher's point of view"

"call it techno" and "just as long as i got you"

i have "polyfusia" -- really blissed out and slow -- indecipherable lyrics, in that cocteau twins way -- and lots of layering of guitars and effects in the my bloody valentine "loveless" manner not sure if i'd consider their stuff particularly "dubby," however more like aphex twins meets my...

great site!!! i've been reading through the articles. some really intelligent commentary thanks for the link, vimothy

i found this episode amusing, and very reassuring as i'm nowhere near the record-buying addict as mr dj twitch is though i do have the cti "conspiracy international" record -- that is, the third record cover shown, while still in the industrial phase of the collection

some of the first music i remember = chuck mangione, "baker street" supertramp, "breakfast in america" stuff by paul mccartney's wings donna summer, "bad girls" and "hot stuff" (plus tapes of the church choir that my father sang in) first album that i purchased was styxx, "paradise theater"...
