so you think there's nothing to be said for the widespread notion that the west values the "individual" more than the so-called east, which supposedly values discipline, obedience, social cohesion and, yes, i realize that the difference b/w east and west on this count was not so long ago the...

yes, that's me -- fashion-forward for headwear and footwear, lumpen tattered grey for all attire in between the hat in question strikes me as a slightly "preppy" version of the fisherman's classic, not that i'd ever endorse a return to preppy fashion -- it's merely what they had on hand at st...

hey peter -- i think you and i both know sims, which is how i've heard you play before, i.e., lotus on a wednesday a year or so ago (and that's why i was glad to learn you'd taken up the grime cause when you advertised the rocky's event a couple weeks back -- though i had a conflict that evening)

here's a video clip

for blogs . . . . k-punk -- who founded dissensus w/ woebot lots of other non-music blogs that i used to keep tabs on are now defunct -- the most recent to go out of business is charlotte street but check out . . . . side effects -- though it's a bit dry and academic stray reflections --...

the argument would run to the effect that the sons enjoy the advantages wrongfully gained by the fathers again, i take the position that this is simply how the world works, a few profit and the rest get exploited to one degree or another -- however, you might say that i find this a convenient...

check out renochild on east village radio he's from manchester and the main dj in the party organization that i'm involved with = fugari and for whatever it's worth, i'll stand behind renochild's take on house music w/ respect to the house music debate that stelfox started (although this show...

don't think he's asking to be taken "seriously" as a person nor does the fact that's he obviously "maladjusted" and unable to "flourish" in american society (such that he fled to moscow) detract from his argument -- i.e., he makes klosterman a figurehead for all that is loathesome about...

to my knowledge, i've never read a single word written by klosterman, so i can't really say whether he deserves this treatment or not let's just say that i thrill at the sight of this kind of cruelty (must be the roman blood oozing through my veins)

yeah, i have little patience for talk of "reparations" human history is about some groups dominating and exploiting other groups end of story (and how you choose to live your own life is another story) every country is ruled by ambitious mofo's out to dominate and exploit others and then...

i find this bit really depressing seems like the question is why and how did chicago house lose its local following, such that it became overly dependent on selling records to europeans -- thereby setting the stage for "gentrification" (and just to be clear, i like a lot of european house...

larry heard is straight, i believe but are you sure about dj pierre not being gay??? (though if you've met the missus and kids . . . . ) anyway, we probably shouldn't allow this thread to degenerate into speculation about who's gay and who's straight basic point is that the actual producers...

testosterone -- yeah i know how to spell the word, despite appearances

this should probably be in the music section but since i have particular djs and a particular venue in mind, i thought i'd be better to post it here just got back from the camouflage party, which was held at guernica (ex-save the robots) until recently now the party is at the leopard...

one view is that they know they're performing for trendspotters aka "hipster blogger dorks" -- and so they take the piss (though, again, i think roll deep were actually pretty good in terms of being "tricky" and "off" and arhythmic) however, the notion that everybody who seeks out new music is...

here's soul brother #4 of the fugari tribe on east village radio earlier today -- as always, once you follow the link to evr, look for the line says "listen to most recent show here" nothing obscure on this session -- looks like most of the stuff is off trojan compilations -- but at least they...
