the chilean techno artist dinky left nyc for this reason -- one of the few techno artists that i've rated this decade -- so a real loss, in my opinion

except that hip hop lives, and jungle is by all accounts dead -- though at the moment i enjoy hearing a good jungle set as much as any other kind of music or is the "hardcore continuum" the uk equivalent of hip hop, such that it too lives? or maybe the problem with uk music is that is was *too...

i suppose marilyn manson has got a couple good songs . . . . but limp biscuit??? slipnot??? isn't it really and truly the case that most people in america are into crap music? except for hip hop, which is a complicated matter, b/c so good in some ways and so bad in others (i.e., this is not...

i think blissblogger once remarked on how he liked all the local color of the late beatles material -- references to different places in liverpool, references to "english" stuff like crumpets and tea, etc but i'd have to disagree -- i think the local references and dialect detract from the...

let's take the point further, and say that the "music hall" element is the worst and most annoying aspect of the beatles sound i'm not a fan of the rock opera or conceptual song suites -- i.e., i like the music, but dislike all the window dressing stones are easily my favorite classic rock...

i can't for the life of me recall why . . . . but when i was in law school, somebody there gave a lecture during lunch one day about "jews in rock" -- dissecting the lyrics of a leonard cohen song and, yes, dylan's "all along the watchtower" evidently the lyrics of "watchtower" recall isaiah...

i was talking to the most beautiful woman that i've spoken to in some time last night -- call me infatuated! -- and it turns out that her mother was a folk singer who, along with others in her circle, kinda "mentored" the young bob dylan there was a triad of 3 "no no's" (my term!) -- i forget...

in any case, thanks for the tips tim and also logan -- though i already kinda know tuff jam and dream team -- i.e., i know the names, not the sounds per se

ha ha i merely meant that i want to "update" my record collection slightly -- get outta the early 90s ghetto -- diversify -- mainly b/c the $1 bin at sattelite is heavy on late 90s stuff -- i.e., i'm suddenly in the mood for serious crate digging after taking several months off

that's what i had expected! but then "you can't go wrong" proved so disappointing so he did "engineering" work for others as well as "production" work on his own stuff???

i picked up a copy of "around the house" several years back when everybody was going on about herbert but i didn't like it -- found it tedious, boring, and mannered and so i sold it off fairly quickly haven't bothered to check anything by him since but in general, i'm fairly hostile to the...

is anyone here familiar with the garage output of gavin mills aka dj face? he was one-half of psychotropic = probably my all-time favorite rave act, if i had to choose just one (proviso = this is treating shut up and dance as a production team, not an act -- is this a convincing...

i have now! very very interesting

picked up a copy of this the other day at A1 for $10 -- even though it was in the $3 bin speedy j is dutch but label is +8 -- came out in 92 -- must have been january 92, as i can recall first hearing this track i think this is possibly the greatest detroit techno track ever anyone agree?

hope i didn't suggest new york is segregated??? it's the least segregated of american cities and though there's lots of irish-owned and -operated bars, most attract very diverse crowds -- i.e., mission is not "irish" in the sense that most of the clientele is irish -- quite the contrary --...

i'm talking strictly about bars and clubs in downtown nyc once went deep into brooklyn (brighton beach area) with a russian-american friend of mine, and that was a different scene altogether, i.e., from the moment we parked the car people were trying to intimidate us (and succeeding with me...

the worst altercations i've seen or heard about *recently* have involved this one cockney bloke that i know (i.e., he evidently had to leave england b/c people wanted to kill him) but the worst fights i've seen in bars during all my time here in nyc have involved long-time residents of the LES...

did you hear about mission last week? -- the bar has irish ownership, same people as run sin sin, leopard lounge, taj and several other places (for uk readers, a disproportionate number of bars and clubs in nyc are irish owned and operated, and many are or used to be connected to the IRA in...

very true or maybe i just have a fetish for the object, the image, etc not sure if i entirely follow you here surely the value of the record is the reason you buy it -- i.e., if you thought it was crap, you wouldn't buy it (though you might download it, if you have such "completist"...
