and i've also announced other stuff that i've heard about -- e.g., the east river amphitheater event -- though in these cases i've done so w/ the expectation that it would be of interest to the wider dissensus community really, now that i've re-read what i wrote upthread, and then re-read...

i've also announced every single big party or big event that i've been involved with for the past several months -- despite knowing full well that nobody who frequents this forum would ever likely materialize at one of my parties -- and also despite knowing that the kind of music that gets...

did you actually read all that i said? or did you intentionally misrepresent my remark? this is what i said = i also happen to be a person who has posted links not to my own mixes, but to mixes that my mates have done, or at least to their radio shows, and i intend at some point to post a...

just to add my two cents, i think we should have one forum devoted to discussion and debate of music-related issues and then a second forum for promotion, event announcements, mixes, posting links to mixes, etc and i think each forum would have its own value but let's face it, postings that...

first, there's hip hop on mtv and commercial radio -- often rhythmically and sonically undeniable, and just as often politically and culturally retrograde == enslaved to material fantasies then there's hip hop in all its diversity in nyc and throughout the country i'm especially keen on the...

in any case, i think this discussion has gotten sidetracked . . . . edward said and anderson may show that things like national identity and western identity are largely "imaginary" developments, having to do with how people are educated, the books they read, the newspapers they read, etc --...

first, i'm trying to provide the standard account of what the west is, so as to make the terms of this argument more concrete -- as for my own position, i'm not really sure what i think second, what do you mean by "individualism"??? for aristotle, the city-state promotes the development of...

i meant that even before, for example, damascus became a muslim center, political and religious leaders there tended to resent the influence of constantinople and rome -- although many of the doctrinal disputes of the early xian era reflected real confusion about the nature of jesus christ (how...

so what of my question concerning what's big in manchester today?

and, ummmm, the roubini blog is also free = http://www.rgemonitor.com/blog/roubini the roubini and setser blogs are definitely worth reading -- kinda like the dark foreboding and fears of serious policy wonks -- not sure if either of these guys was involved in clinton administration or not --...

so what's big in manchester at the moment? i've been told that while jungle tekno (91/92/93) was big in manchester, at least, that jungle proper (94 onward) never really caught on there

any chance of someone posting a bassline mix? curious ears want to hear

i'll be quiet now! merely wanted to make the argument more concrete, if possible

sufi -- can you briefly state said's central arguments, as best you can . . . . again, i don't think anyone here is a professional historian i.e., we're all "educated" laymen -- to one degree or another, in one area or another let's say that the conventional position goes something like this...

most histories are "highly conjectural and also distorted" and as for "filtered thru the orientalist gaze," it might be helpful if you restated said's argument or whomever's argument, rather than resort to shorthand -- though at the same time, i don't expect you to have a working knowledge of...

actually, this is setser's blog right here = http://www.rgemonitor.com/blog/setser/ so if you want an excellent blog to read for an economic analysis of the global situation, this is the one

i really must be on the brink of insanity -- b/c i railed off an angry missive to these guys this morning -- i.e., i woke up very early, visited their website, discovered they were now charging a high fee, flipped out, and sent them letters via e-mail stating my dismay in very strident language...

this is like the phd in economics equivalent of k-punk or irrational numbers or long sunday suddenly deciding to charge for the right to read their thoughts on literature and philosophy disappointing, to say the least (though i suppose i'm not in a moral position that would allow me to...

people here may recall the thread that i started on the dollar crisis and the increasingly chaotic global financial situation back in march of this year i referred people to the website maintained by ruibini and setser, both of whom are affiliated with the Stern School at NYU -- and they USED...

i think it's more accurate to say that xianity is a mediterranean religion man-god figures were common throughout the religions and sects of the region before the flowering of xianity political structure of xianity is roman -- though the respect for individual life was decidedly un-roman xian...
