is there some kind of bbc1 show about a group of brits checking out various clubs in new york city??? in any case, rumor has it that bbc1 will be filming at nublu on tuesday, june 14th -- and this is supposedly the premise, i.e., brits at a club in nyc kudu is of course the band that performs...

and i suppose by making the first question punk/post-punk versus northern soul i've foolishly eliminated from consideration the JA soundsystem element and street beats . . . . in "energy flash," blissblogger basically treats the balearic set as carriers of the mod tradition, and then the acid...

came across this interesting article yesterday after googling "twisted wheel" in order to figure out what 3underscore was talking about on another thread that i had initially started to promote my own private agenda however, i think this might well be of interest to entire dissensus community...

i'm going to start a separate thread on the northern soul/madchester connection, as i came across an interesting article on the internet yesterday

my friend renochild -- mentioned above -- comes from the family that ran this northern soul club called the reno in manchester which explains his dj name and my second-hand bias for all things mancunian

badiou interesting as always -- especially on points #1 and #2 the suggestion that europeans re-think europe seems a bit empty -- and i found his suggestion of a return to a core franco-german alliance very curious -- especially the part about excluding the english MOREOVER, why not work to...

i think it's hit or miss -- but it's certainly on more often than most other places give credit to the ownership and staff plus the very sound move of letting the same band play the same night every week -- i.e., rather than treat musicians as this week's passing fancy, you bring them into the...

i should probably read the book -- you're not the first to recommend it to me but they actually do make an argument connecting the madchester scene back to northern soul? don't leave me hanging . . . . what are you proposing as an earlier dj culture? or perhaps it was contemporaneous w/...

no -- the craziest sound he ever did was junglistic stuff in early 90s -- nothing so "white" and avant as gabba or speedcore -- he's a haitian immigrant and comes at things from a dual carribean/nyc dance culture angle -- he's got a very open ear but is not modernist

also -- for a text book case of ideologically blinkered journalism -- i.e., american-style free market ideology -- check the ny times coverage subtext of this article is how the french are "fearful" of globalization and small-minded in trying to "punish" chirac -- and also how chirac has failed...

also -- on the connection b/w the northern soul scene and the uk rave scene -- based upon what others have told me, seems to me that this is a much neglected chapter in the story of the origins of rave -- i.e., the first real dj culture was northern soul, and it had its center in manchester...

as of june 12th, fugari djs renochild, fidel bistro, ron d core, and the girl wonder will be on the turntables every sunday at nublu -- i.e., they're the people who throw the late nite parties with me renochild plays broken beats and hacienda classics -- not dissensus stuff per se -- but really...

so what does this mean? (1) a possible re-ordering of the political allignments in france? that is, are we now reaching the end of traditional socialist versus gaulist division to be succeeded by "the people" versus "globalizing elites" division? and how will this affect political allignments...

actually, yes, i think he is very good looking -- bear in mind he's over 60 now -- but now matter what age he has been, he's always looked good for his age the only time he didn't look good was when they captured him after he'd been on the run for a few months, and then it apparently took him...

this mix is identified by juno as the "totally outed" mix and features flamenco guitar and yet i'm not completely sure if it's the same mix as above b/c what "hard to find records" identifies as the farley & heller mix (i.e., the second 1991 mix) has pretty much the same elements and yet the...

here's a sound clip -- this clip is from a site called "hard to find records," but rather than provide the proper name of this mix the site merely refers to this mix as the "flamenco guitar" mix

yes, we're back to the 1991 track ID game -- only this time i need to identify the correct mix is the "totally outed" mix on the 1991 remix of this song the one that features flamenco guitar, as well as soul singers in the background, and then the raggamuffin girl over the top otherwise, which...

in fact this to me seems a really good topic for a lengthy thread to quote ripley -- all kinds of issues here so hopefully others will see this as fertile ground for discussion . . . .

actually ripley is interested in this kind of issue -- and has also posted on the scientist case check out her blog -- http://djripley.blogspot.com/

hear hear if they try to do the hip hop thing, they'll be irrelevant to america the only way to have relevance is to be different -- offer something that others can't compete against i for one am not so much interested in grime or dubstep or garage as i am in a certain kind of underground...
