    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    i'm not going to ridicule you for liking the article qua list (though if a short list such as this is the best you can do for demonstrating the magazine's worth, then surely you're reaching . . . ) and, yes, even in the drugs issue the article about the heroin addict w/ a phd in advanced...

    vietnam vets and dark disco

    we all know about rick davis and cybotron however, i've been rocking this track by leisure process as of late, called "company c," released on epic in 1983 -- really ultra far gone dance track and i'm also keen on aku aku's "the night belongs to charlie," released on shatter records in 1984...

    Mysterious Skin

    i'm pretty certain the answer is yes == though i'm not sure what kind of meaning you'd read into the scene, other than neil's cold & reckless heart and brian's perpetual victim status == but a scene that nonetheless enhances the overall power of the movie = weird and absurd and somehow...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    vice magazine is misanthropic and misanthropy is the conceit of the socially privileged as against the rest of humanity the perspective allows one to cut through a lot of sacrosanct mumble jumble, the pieties of the middling classes -- and therein lies the value and the appeal of the magazine...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    not sure whether i should comment here or over in the miscellaneous section where there's a nick kilroy thread anyway, a friend came by my apartment today and had a copy of the latest vice magazine with him, which i then read -- the "drugs issue" and i must say that on the whole i enjoyed the...

    roots manueva's DJ CREW!!!!!

    this is by way of partial correction, as i've yet to talk directly with the man in the know . . . . but the dj who completely and utterly rocked the roots manuva after party is, i believe, named Malcolm and he's from Sheffield or some such parts, i.e., Yorkshire -- not London (needless to say...

    When people say Cold Rush...

    however, i agree that the bass hummmmm of "dominator" triggers a cold rush just don't think it has anything to do w/ snowballs i..e, you'll get the cold rush even if standing there sober

    When people say Cold Rush...

    yeah but i wouldn't call snowballs a cold rush when i first tried snowballs i thought they were the greatest thing ever -- really ultra nauseating/queasy on the way up -- and then you take off like a rocket and things could get very weird and trippy -- but certainly no lack of emphatic feelings...

    n-joi -- where were they from?

    from new york? or manchester? or some third place? i.e., they initially sounded like they were from new york ("anthem") then they soon began to sound as though they were from manchester but if you look at their photos, they look like wealthy nyc club kids circa 1990 -- certainly not...

    funkiness

    also -- for the record -- i didn't introduce the term black music to this discussion i merely defended the use of the term when others challenged it and when bassnation stated his dislike of the term, he specifically signaled out my use of it which is why i then went to the bother of...
