    Astroworld horror

    horrible, horrible... heads must roll for this.... but one thing I can't my head around - in my mind I think of Travis Scott's music as "file under ambient" - dreamy, wispy, electronic vapors.... "Goosebumps", "Sweet Sweet" etc The tunes don't seem designed for slam dancing and people going...

    Gen Z junglizm

    loved it. a remarkable combination of realism and dreamlike. images and moments that linger for days, weeks, months. The other films in the Small Axe series are also very good but a little more didactic. Lover's Rock just plunges you into the experience. I gather there's those who have a few...

    i think if you've got John Eden reading your text on this subject, you are probably sorted, but happy to take a look

    Gen Z junglizm

    it's interesting that Jamaica with its obsession with bass would stick with the 7 inch format with its inferior bass response, but perhaps that is compensated for at the other end of the process by all the science of building speakers and designing woofers and so forth one of the little jolts...

    this is very nice - the processed vocal is like a glaze over the busy beats

    Gen Z junglizm

    it's interesting to think about what this music means - if anything - to these kids - have they read about the music and the culture? or just stumbled on it and thought 'cool beats'? or seen some videos on YouTube i just did a class on the Jamaican-UK thing and it is a bit disorienting to...

    then there's pinkpantheress, whose glomming of her own very pretty songs on top of 90s tunes (like here Adam F 'Colors') is not limited to jungle, she's done some with UKG

    i go check that duo's homebase online as someone describes them as "soundcloud junglists" which would have been a better title for the thread

    Gen Z junglizm

    there's all these bedroom kids making jungle and dreamy D&B tunes (my own kid put me onto this stuff) seems to have no relation to any kind of real-life scene - i suspect they've never heard jungle or D&B played out through a big system - it's something they've alighted on in their wanderings...

    Simon Reynolds

    well i have the transcript somewhere or other - but yes, it was similar stories about the Fall's early days when they were as much a poetry group as a music group.... the drugs... Mark E's magnetic quality.... Kay Carroll the friend of Una's who gradually took over... then the Blue Orchids...

    Simon Reynolds

    Mark E Smith's been a bit over-interviewed hasn't he... I decided to go with Martin Bramah who had a great story. As did Una Baines but it was more shapeless as a conversation - done over two phone calls - so I went with the Martin chat.

    shitting on their own legend

    out on the 19th via that font of all musical goodness Cleopatra Records (none of you old /American enough to get that joke i should think) release rationale: L‘Metal Box’ by Public Image Ltd. was originally released in 1979 and went on to become a hugely influential LP. Now, the band’s former...

    OMG!! Look what I found!!!

    brought to mind "Lost in Music" and "Slave to the Rhythm" = both sombre and fatalistic on the lyrical theme but nonetheless ecstastic and liberating whereas the Katy P sounds bouncy and quiescent

    OMG!! Look what I found!!!

    I wonder if the scene with the audience with 3D glasses is an intentional reference to this

    shitting on their own legend

    nobody in music has shat on their legend as utterly as the makers of the Sopranos have done with this prequel
