actually, i think the article reflected what most people who went to that show thought about roll deep, rightly or wrongly not that i'd rate the guy who wrote the article -- something very unappealing about how he went about saying what had to say -- i.e., he struck me as a wanker (btw i had...

but how does this relate to music fandom and music scenester-ism? should music scenes simply press the self-destruct button once its leading lights become "bureaucrats" -- i.e., the superstar dj as high-ranking bureaucrat -- or should the bureaucrats be purged? or should the scene somehow...

i didn't intend to say "stultification" -- though that's a risk both for the music scene and for the scenesters (or whatever term you'd use) i meant only that scenesters seek, in part, the repetition of earlier pleasures -- or at least there's a great deal of repetitiveness to their lives --...

pretty good stab and yeah, it's interesting how people like king britt and carl craig picked up the sound -- maybe b/c king britt and 4hero had previous ties??? plus, the whole phillly soul angle and many detroit people as well -- john beltran i think a lot of these people would say that...

blissblogger was the first person on this thread to use the term "emancipation," albeit via k-punk and zizek see as follows = now i more or less "get" what blissblogger means when he talks about X-factors and Xcess what i don't get is this whole notion of emancipation or is it emancipation...

in other words, going out at night is my heroin i go to the same old place and get my dose of pleasure = see the same faces, hear music that i more or less like, perhaps buy some drugs, and certainly have a few drinks and i get out of this an something that seems to "transcend" daily life and...

what initially attracts me to a music scene -- and i've really only been attracted to one, namely, early 90s rave/house scene -- is the element of excess -- new and exciting sounds (in 1990) but also the style and make-up of the people who hangout at a particular place, and the vibe -- the sense...

gang of four evidently played at nublu last thursday -- i night that i usually go there -- but nobody told me they were playing, and so i (very sadly) missed their show

i think it's a classic -- very danceable

i also picked up a wicked remix of qb's finest "oochie wally" by groove chronicles (2) hka vs. high rollers -- which sounds like very early grime (3) a pretty good garage track by step2 on ringpull records (4) a zed bias remix of jolynn murray's "wrapped up" on honey beat (a sublabel of go...

so nobody knows who outnumbered are? my guess is their remix of genaside ii came out in 99 or 00 or thereabouts, b/c i picked it up in the half-price bin at breakbeat science -- i.e., where they put all the 2-step and breakbeat sounds that they no longer carry -- i.e., i think breakbeat science...

so few passports in relation to whom? if you mean as compared with europeans, then surely i don't need to explain to you that european countries are much closer to each other geographically than america is to other countries and in another sense, unless a person actually lives for a lengthy...

first, what exactly does the term emancipation mean in this context? second, if the X-tra factors are necessary for emancipation, is the Y-factor of pleasure also necessary? so there's the Y-factor of pleasure, which can be intensified or made greater by the addition of certain X-tra factors...

yes, but surely the heroin addict has a moment of transcendence while the heroin courses through his veins -- and he is seemingly willing to have that transcendence at the cost of the pain and monotony of addiction

errrr, isn't this one of the $10,000 philosophical questions???

the doctrine died as soon as the american public began to realize that a democratic iraq would likely become the ally of shiite iran i'm not a big believer in democracy anyway -- so for me the demise of this doctrine is no great loss

errr, i'd say that's anti-american propaganda it should suffice to observe that americans know less about other cultures, and are less versed in other languages, etc, than the citizens of practically any other nation certainly americans' ignorance of iraqi and arab culture allows the former to...

I have difficulty drawing a line between 2-step garage and broken beats -- i.e., there are some tracks that are obviously 2-step, but many others are harder to classify What exactly is the difference, both technically and genealogically? i.e., i know that 2-step is descended from todd edwards...

is anyone here familiar with outnumbered vs genaside ii??? catalog number is ADR003 ltd -- not sure which label this could be best remixes of "narra mine" that i've ever heard i'm assuming this isn't armand van helden -- so who's the remixer? possibly the outnumbered who remixed the 2-step...

heard these guys tonight not bad at all there're from la but on ninja tune -- yes, i realize hardly a label that dissensus would rate but very high frequencies, very weird, minimalistic hip hop kinda sounded like cocaine music -- very tipsy, high frequencies except all i did tonight was...
