I always understood that twelve inch vinyls had an extremely small profit margin. Something about the way they are pressed up and distributed then sold for less than an album. Such a huge quantity were either promotional gifts or would sit unsold in a record store before mark downs or being sent...

I have a problem with the heavier vinyl pushing its way through the paper sleeves. Its really annoying, I bought some double 12" with cute artwork and super fine paper sleeves but the super heavyweight vinyl had pushed its way through the thin paper on all three sides.

I think the theory is they are less likely to warp, and allow deeper grooves but aren't really cut that deep anyway.

I've been able to visit Brazil a couple times over the past year. The idea of Brazil failing to win the whole tournament is a complete unmentionable thought crime. It just cannot happen, it cannot be allowed to happen. Any suggestion of failure by "a seleção" is met with complete disbelief.

Is that whole reporter taken hostage in the Ukraine thing real or is it some kind of internet humor to get people to sympathize or visit sponsors.

Will this affect those russian websites everyone goes to for downloads of the latest Hyperdub albums?

So, DJ Clent and Machinedrum, huh?

So, a transparent election, huh?

Arcade Fire have some kind of Carnival theme that goes from their album and marketing campaign to their live show and music videos. I can't peel my eyes open long enough to watch the video, but I think it has celebrities in Carnival costumes that take off their masks for some kind of dramatic...

Damn, RT host has opinions on the commercialization of electronic music:

Does anybody have any musical recommendations for a trip to Salvador De Bahia, Brazil?
