    demoscene/chiptunes

    There's a bit of a crossover with the 'chipmusic' scene http://www.micromusic.net but I think that the late 80s / early 90s were the golden age!

    demoscene/chiptunes

    I'm going to have to get up to my mum & dad's, dust the Amiga off and have a day reminiscing! I used to like collecting demos more than games, and the fact that you could release your own for the price of a 3.5" disk (and lots of late nights) made it into me & my friends' version of DIY punk...

    Moritz von Oswald - an appreciation - 'It's in the hiss'.

    A few years ago the New York record shop Dance Tracks did a compilation of their shop favourites and Starlight was on that - apparently it's one of their best selling 12s of all time - amazing! My favourite Chain Reaction is Monolake - Cyan (CR04), when the hi-hat comes in after about 10...

    stereo mono

    I might have got the wrong end of the stick completely, but doesn't Blackboard Jungle Dub have a Scratch mix in one channel and a Tubby mix in the other...? If that's just a myth, please don't tell me!

    Underground Resistance and video games.

    It's not really fair to compare "Hi Tech Jazz" to JAZZ as a genre, it's better to look at it as part of a long line of brilliant house and techno records that use jazz as an ingredient (check Nu Groove out as well as most Mike Banks stuff). It's a shame kids are more interested in today's...

    stereo mono

    One thing that's always intrigued me are quadraphonic LPs - i've never met anybody with a quadraphonic setup to play them on, but this review of Black Sabbath Paranoid is mouth watering!! :D http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/thebookofseth/48

    dancing

    I never know how to dance to rock music - even if it's a song I like, I can never really think of any moves to go with it apart from air guitar.

    Didn't they do that Sonic Sunset LP together too? Sure sounds like it! My favourite though is the Starlight 12" on Metroplex - ahhhhhh!

    Kung-Fu Films.

    Did anybody used to go to the Shaolin film club in London around '95 - 2000...? The main venue was upstairs in a disused building at the top of Charing Cross Road (seem to remember it was pretty near Silverfish but i've not been back to London for years and my memory is failing!) They would show...

    Sorry it was a bit of a flippant word to use I know! :o I was using it to make a point about white supremacy ideas.

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    They ran an article a couple of years ago which used some pseudo-scientific nonsense to 'prove' that all America's economical problems would be 'cured' if they had never let any immigrants into the country!! The following issue, they actually defended it in the letters page...! I was working at...

    Pet word hates

    I absolutely loved 'sexed up' at the time, purely because I can't think of anything less sexy than politicians talking about dossiers! :D
