is that from liverpool?

yes

talk about wicked

actually there's an appallingly bad mash-up of "voodoo ray" and kelis' "milkshake" out & about right now ------ take two brilliant songs, mash them together, and get a really poor result

errrr, staying in b/c i have to take a test tomorrow morning

not sure what you're talking about . . . . stuff like westbam i always thought pretty weak i liked the slower, more trippy german stuff -- or what i *imagined* to be german -- stuff like slot's "accelerate" on the leptone label -- or "we came in peace for all mankind" -- this is a sound that...

do you mean stuff like anticappella???

or anastasia???? yeah, the bombastic symphonic stuff, the operatic stuff -- all of that was belgian or else belgian inspired -- and that sound had wide exposure in u.s. clubs for a good number of years don't seem to recall beethoven's 5th, however

only reason i know is b/c i was 18 in 1990!!! -- but certainly i've never been into rave music to near the extent as you, so please don't use the term "ignorance" -- as in almost all cases it will attach to my name!!!!! ----- seriously massive respect to you and ripley the thread was initially...

about clubs i'm making a midwest/east coast distinction . . . . but even in washington, dc, i think the belgian stuff had a wide & enduring profile northeast (nyc, new jersey, connecticut, philly) obviously had an indigenous house tradition but people like frankie bones, adam x took the...

indeed the belgian stuff was pretty much what was played in clubs -- this stuff had the widest exposure -- with the caveat that even club scene was kinda underground in early 90s and then the underground rave scene would typically have djs playing all varieties of dance music -- house, jungle...

i think belgian hardcore actually had a pretty long run in america, longer than in britain -- the really massive belgian hits that came out in 1991 -- stuff that was on the verge of being commercial -- were still be played in places like st louis in 1994 -- stuff like T99, stuff like the track...

actually i've been trying to id & track down this record that goes "we are taking every precaution" over a breakbeat -- and then it has another sample that goes something like "over wakka-wakka-hot, over wakka-wakka-hot" -- and then a looped piano riff that is at once funky & militant ------ i...

in addition to the forgemasters record on network ("everybody clap your hands"), i have an old electro record on label called "serious gold" -- the act is "cosmic touch" and the track "nothing ever changes" -- came out in 1983 -- produced by j. clarke, r. gordon, c. harris -- can't help but...

please explain the "nike trainers" part -- are the grime artists receiving $$$ from nike?

(1) i've read several of his books (2) i don't confuse his account of somebody else's position w/ his own position (e.g., "noble lies") (3) probably more open to strauss than i o/w would have been as i took courses in college w/ (1) a student of cropsey and (2) a student of rosen (4) at same...

thought i'd mention this film in connection with the maya/m.i.a. threads over in the music section . . . . "the terrorist" is an indian film, directed by Santosh Sivan, that was released in 1998 and is loosely based on the assassination of rajiv gandhi . . . . it's in the Tamil language w/...

if my existence weren't so cocooned (or if i owned a television), i'd probably be much more aware of how m.i.a. is promoted but i simply heard "galang" out one night and thought it wonderfully catchy -- though beginning to suspect that i must have heard the re-mix alluded to by 2stepfan above...

didn't mean to suggest, however, that he had sex w/ his students

B/c you've long since deleted the comments boxes on K-Punk, let me say here that your post on MP is absolutely brilliant -- punk theory of class revolt -- "the moment at which ballard's 'new proletariat' become real political actors is when they cease to pursue their own class interests" and...
