Well at the moment... 1. Vitalic - OK Cowboy - holy holy HOLY SHIT this is awesome. so huge, and yet the more melodic tracks are also awesome. suprisingly tight as an album. maybe i'll get over this in a few weeks, but right now, this owns me like nothing else. 2. Animal Collective ft. Vashti...

I like this idea, but I'm not sure if you can't just flip it around sort of: are electronica people moving into Folk stuff, or is it just that the electronica meme has infected people who like to fool around with Folk? Or to rephrase your question: why has (neo- weird- freak-) Folk latched onto...

they just had a nice little bunch of tracks over on the stypod (the Utopia Burns section), the tomas andersson track is especially ace. Of course the tracks aren't up anymore (damn you, 3 days only!) but they're all defo recomended. Also liking: the new dirk leyers 12" on kompakt (the b side is...

the cherry blossoms are out in vancouver. all the residential streets where i live are lined with them. i love them so much. when they start to fall the ground looks like its covered in pink snow. ahhhh

Hohoho, yes I did mean bait...and no, I was genuinely suprised and angered by bush's pick and wanted to discuss. but when i started this thread, i knew who would be the first one to dissent. ;) Anwyay, as for the post you quoted, I agree with Rambler that the analysis of the UN and the World...

Ha! I knew I could count on you for some levity Oliver! My Craner bating was successful... Anyway, we could argue untill we were blue in the face on whether Wolfowitz is an idiot or not (yeah the Daily Show last night had a nice recap of his impressive ability to predict the exact OPPOSITE of...

Jesus. Is Bush fucking insane? Or just pure evil? Coupled with making Bolton ambassador to the UN, seems like Bush is sending a pretty clear message about any sort of multilateralism or cooperation with the rest of the world he might be planning for the next four years, despite what lip service...

jon stewart last night, showing a picture of bolton: and jon bolton, seen here after drinking an enormous glass of milk...

oh wow oh wow oh wow. this is outstanding news and also very very bad because i will soon be very poor. and apparently it's in the bleep.com-style too, no DRM! Ah, life is good. :)

Yeah, actually pitchfork has been rising slightly in my esteem lately (which ain't saying much, believe me) with the addition of yourself, Jess, as well as Julianne Shepherd (with a column, no less), and Drew Daniel reviewing singles. They finally seem to be getting some people in there that a)...

What do you call the opposite process, wherein you start using speech patterns from other social groups you've been hanging out with in innapropriate places? Like for example when I started playing on a predominantly working class, mixed-race (east vancouver) soccer team while I was in high...

yeah i'm totally cut up on this. guy was a genius though i'm appreciating the major news networks being forced to talk about drug-fueled depravity and counter culture. a pleasant switch from the latest baby elephant news or whatever.

agreed, top thread. i totally understand the feeling of "there's so many more talented people out there! why this artist?!?" i've felt that many a time. i'm sure we all have. but anyway, it occurs to me that really, it's actually quite important that different paths to success for grime...

hoho, well i'll just sit in the back here and let you people who have experience doing these type of things do your thing ;). keep up the good work! any help i can give to hear tingz in bootz played out on a (halfway) decent system is hereby offered. but yeah i could get maybe a dozen or so...

Well the obvious stuff (for me certainly) is all the chain reaction releases, maurizio, stuff like that. Though i spose it's off into a bit more experimental dubby territory. But it's still undeniably fucking awesome techno. and some of it does hit pretty hard (that scion release, some porter...

Big up the van city grime massive! thought i should say it was supa fun meeting you people last night and talking grime. i'm totally powered up on grime now. more please! :D

ya i'm in.

So really, what was with the all paul mccartney half-time show? I mean, no other artists, backing musicians were darkly lit, no choreographed dancing of any kind, just bloody paul mccartney singing old beatles songs. Really, I love the beatles as much as the next guy, but c'mon! has nothing of...

I am unfortunately neither dj nor promoter (just yr average music obsessed net-head), but i'm always down for beers & good music talk and what have you. :D uhhh nope.

OR, it's a means of removing yourself as far as possible from the damage that capitalism is doing at present. A way of saying "I want no part in this" (which is not the same as avoiding politics). While working and hoping for structural change, it's a short-term means of mitigating some of the...
