vivien goldman also made some remarks about going to "blues" parties, which she described as being precursors to raves -- all-night parties run by brits of carribean descent i know woebot's interested in the whole "paths to rave" question, the prequel to "generation ecstasy," so to speak. one...

and james chance looked like james chance

i went, but had to scratch and claw to get in evidently you had to have an advance ticket, but as i don't have a credit card (primarily b/c i don't trust myself, secondarily for philosophical reasons), i had no such ticket resorted to two tactics to get in first, i told the doorman that he...

they've done a lot of records, and i can't claim to have heard more than a hanfdul . . . . but i'd have to say i rate them fairly highly especially their remix of "watch them come!" by men from the nile aka roy davis, jr i can see why dissensus people would, in general, not like jazzanova --...

okay -- this is sylvia of kudu playing records that she likes first track is kudu then buzzcocks then some hip hop then some new electro etc i'm listening to the show as i post this . . . . (had the erroneous impression that kudu were gonna be doing a live p.a.) here's the link to east...

never mind errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

doubt that i'll catch matt "off guard" with this one . . . . Bar Star, from the album 'Death of the Party' (out March 14th), available now -- finally, finally, finally -- on i-Tunes and on Vinyl along with 3 remixes from Freddie Mas, Sasa of Inflagranti/ Codek Records, Wolf-Parkinson-White . ...

what i find very troubling is that the price of ecstasy in the u.s. has held steady at $20 to $25 a pill from 1990 to the present day (unless you buy in bulk) -- and perhaps peaked at $30 in 98/99 whereas in the uk the price has fallen from, say, 12 to 15 pounds in 1992 to 50 pence today how...

what about garbage collectors, people who work w/ known toxins, etc -- how does the law work here? presumably if the risk is unknown, they can make a claim against employer. but if the risk is known to the worker, and the employer takes reasonable measures, is there a viable claim??? i ask b/c...

i suspect that the health risks of second-hand smoke are way over-stated moreover, even if second-hand smoke did pose a substantial health risk, what about all the other pollutants that people are exposed to on a daily basis? therefore, you have to ask what *motivates* the smoking bans (1)...

if you don't want to be in the company of sinners, go to church and go to work

i'm totally opposed to the smoking bans -- and i only smoke socially i actually have an entire (err, half-baked) theory on this subject but i think that smoking has all kinds of cultural meanings -- and very much belongs to the night, to the culture of the night (and of modernity) health is...

OR if there is something going on there, but it's not my thing, then i feel like a tourist, a feckless transient, etc i.e., there's plenty of rock'n'roll places in w'burg, but they're not my thing -- or else the crowds are too young = see sputnik

it's a much costlier proposition (and for most people unrealistic), but i think the winning formula is to open up your own small club (large bar) and have a different theme each night -- helps to have live bands and PA's too could possibly be done if you were to investigate spaces just outside...

speaking for myself only . . . . (1) i don't like what i've heard of the arctic monkeys -- a bit too sober and ponderous and straight for me (2) the bands i mentioned up above nobody else here seems to like anyway -- probably too glam and style-over-substance-like -- so i was probably wise not...

i'm not exactly sure what people mean by "indie," so . . . . bands that i have mentioned here numerous times = kudu -- nyc brazilian girls -- nyc -- their new stuff has a lot more edge than first album ladytron -- liverpool -- hardly unknowns, but i love their stuff so i'll keep endorsing em...

yes, that's him

anybody here familiar with duggie fields? pretty trippy, in my estimation

i like his track that has the disco sample "it's true without a doubt" anybody know that one? my mate plays it -- i didn't like it at first, but it's really crept up on me -- it goes through three or four phases over the course

you can check them out on saturday, february 11th, at this place called "43B" = 43 South Moulton Street, London W1K 5RS 10 pounds to get in, but i think they're one of the better live acts in nyc at the moment (formerly known as the veldt)
