    kudu play asterisk party on 4/30

    in terms of their on-line sound clips, i'd say the 1st clip ("magic touch") comes closest to what they sound like however, clips 03 ("neon graveyard") and 04 ("playing house") are also pretty close to it some of the other clips are a bit embarrassing (such as 02 -- "cannibal") if you ask me...

    kudu play asterisk party on 4/30

    i gave you a link up above -- here's the same link -- www.kudu2u.com with the proviso, however, that the songs on the clips are too cleanly produced and the programmed beats ain't so great (i.e., there's a million and one producers who could do better programming) i.e., the sound clips are...

    kudu play asterisk party on 4/30

    kudu were brilliant as always and i'm pretty excited about the upcoming kudu record, based on conversations first, i talked with the drummer "D" and he totally agreed with me about the need for kudu to keep things RAW -- i prefaced my remarks to him by saying "i know this is way out of line...

    actually they think he has tuberculosis and that the disease attacked his spine (pott's disease) so they'll need to operate on his spine cocaine use resulted in periodic paralysis by depriving the spinal column and bone joints of liquid or some such explanation of course now i wonder if i...

    Cocaine Use and Neurological Disorders

    i've been doing some internet research, not that i know anything about medicine seems that Richard Pryor had MS, and there's no established link b/w cocaine abuse and MS there is an established link b/w cocaine use and parkinson's, but i don't think my friend has symptoms of parkinson's --...

    Can I make a suggestion?

    i rarely make new posts my MO is to respond to what others say however, i do like to announce events/bar nights that i think may be of some interest to dissensus people i.e., there's some guy from sheffield who's always announcing stuff that's going on in sheffield, i do the same w/ whatever...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    i've had roommates in the past who always left copies of vice magazine lying around (didn't much like said roommates -- of course what roommates have i ever liked!) and yeah, i'd read through the magazine, look at the images, etc fascination w/ the abomination i think for the most part the...

    Cocaine Use and Neurological Disorders

    I'm pretty freaked out at the moment. A good friend of mine -- from the UK, no passport, no papers, no real money, no insurance -- is in the hospital right now b/c his legs went completely numb on him yesterday morning. He has since recovered some movement but still has great difficulty...

    kudu play asterisk party on 4/30

    and let me say once again that if you're seriously down with real-deal 90/92 junglistic hardcore, then it is your DUTY to check out Kudu -- it's the same thing, different context certain acts and certain scenes simply have it -- the junglistic x factor liquid, psychotropic, genaside ii, and so...

    kudu play asterisk party on 4/30

    thought i'd move this back to the top as the event is this weekend also on the bill: In Flagranti -- which is Zeb and Sasha from Organic Grooves (i.e., the loft party crew) -- if you don't know Zeb, he's a brilliant autodidact guitarist -- and both he and Sasha are first-rate producers -- top...

    Record Shops are History.

    it's more rewarding to search through crates at a store and when you find a record you like, it's a "legitimate" score whereas gemm feels like cheating plus in stores you encounter lots of records that you never heard of -- they simply look interesting, so you put the record on the store's...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    i agree with tim f on this point yes -- but experience is the ground for any truth claim -- perhaps not the ultimate ground -- but it's certainly what we all work from and, in the last instance, appeal to -- how else do you persuade others if not by way of an account that accords with their...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    this is the kind of grand claim that makes me skeptical . . . . and it's why i wouldn't entirely dispense with experience as an arbiter of truth if each of us has a sense of himself -- the "me," the "I" -- then at the very least you have to account for that sense the sense that there's...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    somewhere in all this "virus" talk, we seem to have lost sight of each person's capacity to judge some music good and other music bad . . . . or is this capacity merely a bourgeois illusion? that is, music afflicts the body -- but the body may also resist -- and the resistance may be...

    What is good about Pop Music?

    tim's argument here seem to me valid and they accord with experience that is, i've said repeatedly on this thread -- as an axiom -- that music is most powerful when repeated with and alongside others AND YET there are also cases of music utterly failing when we experience it w/ others --...

    Jon E Cash Show Disappoints

    i agree about the lack of vibe however, i think lack of vibe can be chalked up -- though not entirely -- to fact that there really is no indigenous scene for this kind of music -- unless you were to come at it from a hip hop crowd angle that is, there is something very artificial about all the...

    Jon E Cash Show Disappoints

    that's b/c the venue has no crowd that is, i don't think anyone actually hangs out there i think different people come for different shows unfortunately, the next big HEAT event will also be at Crash Mansion but since the event features dj cameo perhaps it will go better than this past one

    DJ Misbehavior at Mundial on Sundays

    i've been reluctant to mention mundial here for a number of reasons (1) i don't like the space -- way too cold and sterile for a bar in the east village (12th b/w A & B) (2) i'm friendly w/ so many of the people who work and dj there that you could say i have a conflict of interest (3) not...

    Jon E Cash Show Disappoints

    went to the jon e cash show last night things didn't go too well, but greg and dinesh realize as much people just need to be patient while the kinks get worked out among the problems last night: (1) the venue -- crash mansion -- too antiseptic in feel -- you could be anywhere -- the space...
