don't take this the wrong way -- but probably the biggest factor in my enjoyment was that i consumed the mix within the "gift exchange" economy of the dissensus forum i.e., i enjoy all the mixes that get posted on dissensus b/c of how they're "shared" with everyone here -- i.e., there's...

was often off his head on drugs yes, selection and pacing and the order in which records are played -- and let's not forget, his own charisma nothing to do with technicity

not to invite the charge of snobbery . . . . but i generally prefer to hear records all the way through UNLESS i'm dancing to them somewhere or it's some kind of "live" transmission as in the case of pirate radio (even if archived) (i think the more appropriate charge would be ludditism -- or...

agreed with the proviso that the listener should be located on the dancefloor and actively dancing, i.e., completely and utterly lost in the music -- not sitting at home listening to some mix tape and as for driving around in your car -- if you have a car -- then that's where pirate radio...

well, then several have ties to you!!! one degree of separation good enough for the fbi and the M15

what are the reasons for buying a mix cd? (1) personal or second-hand nostalgia for a time and place -- this is a valid reason in my book -- e.g., ratpack in 89 (as mentioned by stelfox) -- but i'd still cringe at buying such a mix at a commercial outlet (2) the dj's superior record selection...

yes, ahem, well, admittedly, i have downloaded several mixes from bassnation and listened to them several times -- and likely will again in the future -- but it's not "close" listening and when the everything starts with an e site still worked, i would play the mixes on that site repeatedly...

besides -- what's the point, really a mix is only interesting when heard the first time around o/w, it's the equivalent of a 60-minute prog rock excursion and seamless mixing is ho-hum boring at this point in the game plus, it's all been sequenced and perfected w/ aid of computers anyway ON...

guess again! -- at least in my case you're preachng to the fervent opposition i think commercially sold mixed comps are the absolute worst development of the 1990s mix tapes and cds sold on the street or by way of under-the-radar channels are cool but mix cds w/ big-name djs sold at places...

i know a lot of the uk dissensus people have ties to warp -- so looks like a weird connection here mercury lounge is an important venue, so kudu need a big crowd this saturday so nyc dissensus people who've yet to see kudu will hopefully turn up??? kudu take stage at 8:30 pm, and then beans...

i was rather glib sorry however, i find it hard to take serious the opposition you've set up -- individualists versus conformists -- not that there isn't some truth to the opposition, but simply that the self-declared individualist comes off as self-deluded, and yet at same time nobody wants...

errr, one thing about biking in ny is that you get to notice all the potholes and, in general, how poorly maintained the streets are!!! below 14th street and above houston there are biking lanes but yeah, i used to bike when i lived in brooklyn -- way too nerve-wracking for the likes of me...

there a simple arguments to make against your remarks (1) you've done as your mother told you to do -- be a good individualist -- differentiate yourself from others through authentic actions (2) you see yourself and your three closest friends as a group of individualists, set off from the herd...

production house -- w/ slogan "our rooms have rhythm" -- shaped like house shut up and dance -- kinda looks like a pirate hat w/ "shut up" on it, then a pirate's saber crossed over hat with "and" written on it, then "DANCE RECORDS" for moustache and mouth manhole records -- cobbestone or brick...

my party organization is in the process of getting t-shirts made i'll report back on all the steps we made, and the final result

and so this controversy has reached its end with me on the losing side (or if you're kind, close but no cigar)

hah! -- this "mocking music" blogger mentions the American band Velocity Girl -- one of the few American bands that I actually liked in the early 90s!!! saw them play live several times -- imitators of MBV, i reckon -- washed-out guitar feedback, w/ girl pop vocals -- think they were from...

because Sufi just now resurrected this thread, I thought I'd clarify this very minor DFA issue, which comes perilously close to name-dropping, at least on my part . . . . which lead to this comment = which lead to this comment by moi = which lead to this correction = and so now finally...

it's the political and religious instinct perhaps you don't have the instinct -- but most people do you believe in something, and so you rally behind the banner of that belief -- and those with whom you rally help reinforce your passion and conviction (and that in turn gives a charge to what...

i should add that i think events like this are what the HEAT Crew do best saturday afternoon in the park ------- done free soundsystem stylee
