    Xela yes, but comparing Fuck Buttons to Black Dice, Boredoms, Animal Collective, Sunroof! and Growing are ridiculous comparisons? You're going to have to substantiate that I'm afraid.

    pointing out you find a critical darling derivative, underdeveloped and undeserving of hype is being hipper than thou? what's so good about this music? why is it what you've been waiting for? what have you been listening to before this that's meant it's such a breath of fresh air? (I'm not being...

    I think they're relatively musical, actually.

    i should add that i haven't heard the album, i have no real wish to after seeing them live. i'm coming from this band from a totally different perspective to most of their audience though, i'm fairly immersed in the music they're inspired by and have no need for a friendly facsimile of it. if...

    you don't hear any animal collective?! when they wheel a drum out into the crowd and bounce up and down and hit it tribally, wailing? come on... straight out of here comes the indian. and the casio aesthetic is totally sunroof! derived... i mean, there's nothing wrong with being derivative per...

    i think this review nails my feelings: http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4160 ... if it all sounds a little familiar, that’s precisely because it is. These same urban tribal percussive swoops that rear their head from time to time sound as if they were pinched from middle-period Animal...

    very average, drone-by-the-numbers. i saw them live and was cringing. they have a serious hard on for black dice/animal collective c. 2002. it's that with sunroof! cloudz style blissed keyboards caked on top and inexplicable sub-Butthole Surfers vocals groaning over the whole mess... ugh

    Berlin - whither should I go?

    3ish is one of the more likely times to get rejected at Berghain, from what I gather. if you go at 7-8ish (which is when it lifts off anyway) in a small group (of like, 2) then you shouldn't have a problem

    He's left Monolake now, I believe. And he's been responsible for the rhythmic side of some of their more recorded recent output, as far as I'm aware, so perhaps that answers your question there. As for T++: yes, it's very much in line with his previous work. In terms of sheer distinctiveness of...

    Newish House/Techno LP's I should own

    by any 'quality of music' measure if you're going for the CD version superlongevity 2 is the one to go for. it's effectively a 'best of' for the label's classic years. superlongevity 3 and 4 are all-new-exclusives,like the original superlongevity (and the vinyl of 2). both are good but if you're...

    Music highlights of 2007

    i've had a great year, musically. there's a lot of stuff i'm omitting here simply because it didn't reach my stereo enough (dial records stuff, guillemont + the contu dumonts, etc) rather than any feelings about its quality. as opposed to last year, where i went clubbing quite a lot and had many...

    Dubstep

    the new Martyn 12" has got to be a late entry for dubstep related release of the year. i'm sure those in the know have had it for a while, but it's blowing my mind. i hope there's a lot more in this vein to come.

    the one thing i learned at university was how to get first class marks in my coursework. this is how i'd do it: read relevant articles and books. make notes as you go along. when you're reading pdfs on the computer, i do this in a word/notepad window off to the side (obv helps if you can touch...
