    wikipedia and the populations of uk cities

    over in the music section the notororious j.i.m. mentioned an article on bleep & bass in wikipedia, which then led to my investigating the wikipedia links about various uk cities -- talk about bloody confusing!!! so we have this about Bradford: "The Bradford Metropolitan District...

    Bush picks Wolfowitz for president of World Bank

    presumably the blame for poor implementation rests on paul bremer's shoulders??? it's hard to tell (1) how much of the chaos in iraq was inevitable, i.e., the unavoidable toll to be paid for invading the country (in which case bush/cheney/rumsfeld/wolfowitz deserve the blame for launching the...

    balearic house

    i came upon these commercially available mixes today -- and they're by jose padilla -- one of the original baleraic djs -- and the track lists for both mixes look pretty damn exceptional (very little filler) here's a link to volume 1 (which for some reason discogs doesn't list) --...

    anyone care to play the "ID that 1991 track" game?

    1991 is my all-time favorite year for music and if i have had a constant ambition in life, it has been to track down records from this year the other day jimbackhouse identified "precaution" for me, so now i'm newly hopeful that other people on dissensus may be able to identify tracks --...

    bleep 'n' bass -- an anachronistic term?

    am definitely taking notes -- thanks also i should mention that some of the better club nights in nyc are run by italians -- but the music is on the organic side of things, not standard dissensus stuff

    bleep 'n' bass -- an anachronistic term?

    i completely agree that the italians have made a lot of great dance music, though had been unaware of their talent for dark techno i just didn't think there was much of a rave scene there in 90/91/92 -- i always thought that rimini was british tourists, same as ibiza -- the flying...

    Drugs and Music - what up with it these days?

    i don't think there's any set limit on how much you can write if it bores people, they'll simply skip over it certainly i'm guilty of writing several really long & ponderous & tangled posts -- which i think deservedly got ignored!

    Drugs and Music - what up with it these days?

    yeah my impression of england on my last visit (last summer) was the e was cheap and plentiful in the early 90s when e was at the height of its popularity in england, it was if anything more expensive in england than in america but now they practically give the stuff away in england -- 2 to 5...

    belgian hardcore

    just woke up this morning (really early!) -- anyway now i'm playing the other stu allen mix from 1991 on the everything starts w/ an e site -- the one from new age@eclipse (i.e., the mix that is 47 minutes long) -- really really ultra groovy but less heavy on the belgian hits -- it's got the...

    belgian hardcore

    actually if anyone does listen to this stu allen mix, then time to play another round of ID the dance track game . . . . okay here goes: what's the song toward the end of the mix, perhaps 4 or 5 tracks away from the end of the mix, b/w the track that has the dominator riff and the track w/ the...

    belgian hardcore

    i'm actually listening to the stu allen mix right now -- lots of belgian stuff, but not too groovy (though it gets better toward the end -- also, this mix seems to have 92 stuff on it, despite being filed on the site as 91) for a better take -- go w/ the grooverider mixes all these mixes are a...

    belgian hardcore

    and there's always the "everything starts with an e" site try the stu allen mix from 1991 -- that should be a good bet for a mix heavy on belgian stuff

    michiel van der kuy

    cheesy can be good w/in measure -- and seriousness/weight/rebel program can be deadly boring -- standard arguments that don't need rehearsing -- i mention this only to let you know i'm aware of the issue i was basing my assumptions about "cheese" on: (1) the album covers on the site that i...

    michiel van der kuy

    this thread is an offshoot of the bleep 'n' bass thread, which then turned into a discussion of belgian hardcore . . . . i had asked about this track w/ a sample that goes "we are taking every precaution" over a breakbeat, which jimbackhouse then identified as: my compulsions then took over...

    bleep 'n' bass -- an anachronistic term?

    brilliant!!! -- thanks -- not sure why it never before occurred to me to try to have dissensus people id tracks for me -- but prepare yourselves for a glut of vague descriptions of obscure records!

    bleep 'n' bass -- an anachronistic term?

    yeah -- too obscure for me!!! -- which isn't to say i haven't heard it (standard match the memory w/ track name game) so you must have already been a serious record buyer back in 1991??? or perhaps even a dj? or rather, one of the things that always struck me about uk student life -- and i...

    Drugs and Music - what up with it these days?

    this seems pretty accurate for new york as well -- there's no one drug -- some like cocaine, others prefer weed, others avoid drugs, and still others only when they have spare change haven't really seen much ketamine about lately and yeah, there's supposedly a meth problem in the gay scene . ...
