we're talking bands that make it past 3 or 4 albums? making it to 10 albums is pretty damn rare (and really, you're gonna suck me into talking about bands i'd rather not mention, if you insist on longevity!) consensus opinion says pulp also, i kinda prefer throwing muses' "university" (1995)...

Brace yourselves for a week crammed with events . . . . Tonight, Sunday evening, sees our usual routine at NUBLU (Ave C b/w 4th and 5th), with Fugari djs Renochild and Courtney Luvin It djing before and after sets by the live hip hop band REAL LIVE SHOW -- suggested arrival time is 11:30 pm...

that's the only justification for having an ipod -- and since i don't have a lawn to mow, i don't need an ipod really, since i moved to nyc and stopped driving a car, i haven't listened to urban hip hop r'n'b radio -- which has been my loss but yeah, the automobile and the radio -- commercial...

think he could've used an editor to chop it down to 5 sentences

or more simply . . . . (1) iggy was androgynous (2) iggy was from detroit, informed by motown, had serious soul power and swing (i.e., iggy may have surrendered himself to anti- or non-human sonic energy, but he still had a soul) good point except that I think blissblogger would mount a...

that was my initial response to this thread then i decided it'd be more fun to participate! that's my "considered" position -- and as i indicated above early Black Sabbath, Led Zep, etc, are within the scope of my all-too-narrow goodwill, even if i'm not an outright partisan of 70s metal --...

here's my provisional top fifteen -- and i'll cheat even more by listing more than one film by same director (and i know there's stuff i like better than some of the stuff i list -- so i reserve right to revise) 1 - Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago (David Lean, director) 2 - The Leopard and...

yeah, but people here are always trying to rehabilitate stuff -- so nothing is too obvious to dismiss

completely agree! when do the early Stones become mid-period Stones? b/c i love everything up through Brown Sugar (and then the late 70s disco-y, funky stuff, but i guess that's not synthesized blues) and if i'm not as keen on Led Zeppelin or early Black Sabbath as others here, I certainly...

unless you were one of the first djs to play this kind of selection, it's technically trend-spotting so then the next question is whether you can make the music work -- which is what warrants skepticism (plus i was admittedly trying to wind people up a bit)

listen to PUSH on East Village Radio by Cowboy Mark on Mondays from 4 to 6 pm -- all electro/italo, if that's your thing and then 6 to 8 pm slot on Mondays is hit or miss -- my friends often guest dj the 6 to 7 pm slot -- and bryant k does the 7 to 8 pm slot and he's got some very cool 80s...

what i hate is djs who play boring, tepid, "prematurely middle-aged male" house music -- not b/c i hate the music as such (on its own terms, it's preferable to most other dance music), but b/c there's always the risk that they'll be invited by others to join in my endeavors and i'm highly...

agreed agreed -- though i should confess i did like rapture, interpol, etc, when they were first getting big, and i should also confess that i still kinda sorta like the stuff when i hear it out -- it's the IDEA of what they do, what they REPRESENT, that i hate -- not so much the actual music...

i think it depends on the dj there's a lot of jazzy stuff out there, much of very very boring but some of the dark jazzy stuff on compost is good and then the cosmic 4hero and p'taah stuff can also be quite good so it comes down to selection AND a lot that stuff is drug music = mushroom...

is breakcore a genre or a dj philosophy? i.e., i kinda think of breakcore as "balearic" djing for hardcore rave diaspora

i agree with sufi here i may not buy or collect the stuff, but generally prefer hip hop r'n'b composite over the one and the other yeah, depends how popular or "endorsed" it is now that death metal is fashionable, i really must say that i hate all metal usually i'm indifferent to what i...

america's the land of writing your own story, of the invented self see the great gatsby or see the "myspace" phenomenon, where everybody tries to come across as twenty times the rock star than they likely ever could in real life -- and where i happened to run into a number of american...

first, and i say this merely to avoid misunderstanding, i actually do like m.i.a., that is, everytime i hear one of her records out i start to tap my feet or sway my hips -- still not sure if i'll go so far as to buy her album and i like her voice now onward to the "meta" issues . . . . i...

this is precisely the kind of "meta" issue i like to talk about (i'm usually not qualified to participate in discussions that directly pertain to music as i'm way behind the musical knowledge curve on this board and, old geezer that i am, not really on top of new music) however, as a...

we had similar phenomenon in nyc for a while terrorist attacks, blackouts, etc -- all seem to promote a sense of togetherness and shared destiny
