so is it about a kind of energy or "current"? or is it about a linear succession of genres/scenes? or is it about specific kinds of sounds -- which is what woebot's original post seemed to deal with, actual sounds?

if the scene stretches back to a time before hardcore, what would the scene have been? that is, wasn't hardcore the result of diverse, nearly antagonistic music scenes coming together = JA soundsystem culture + UK hip hop scene + industrial music (& euro body music) + house/club music + rock...

what do you (or Badiou) mean by "plenitude rather than the void"?

okay -- thanks -- that's what i'd call "helpful" comments! (i suspected that i had the four truth procedures wrong -- but hadn't reflected upon why i had them wrong)

i ran this by some of my uk friends the past couple of days . . . . (1) my mancunian friend says that Graeme Park, not Sasha (who was ravier), was the big Balearic dj in Manchester -- and that "Carino" was the first big Balearic hit he went on to say that Balearic came on board in 89, and it...

What I mean by "revelation" is Heidegger's concept of TURNS in the history of Being so it then becomes a matter of determining how many crucial turns have occurred in this history However, on the level of the individual person, I mean by the term "revelation" that which is for him most true or...

The mathematical proof is the work of reason. However, the decision to rely on math to explain and make sense of the world is a decision that has its basis in a kind of revelatory experience. The world understood in terms of physics seems more "true" or more "reliable" [reliability as a...

actually, I gave a really poor example here. STATES spread liberal democracy, and states may be said to FORCE the (pseudo) event of liberal democracy's worldwide victory and truth -- so Badiou does seem to account for this difference. (Although this points to a second set of problems with...

or if your position is based upon someone else's interpretation of Badiou, then why not post a link to that interpretation . . . . you know, be helpful

i conceded at the outset that i was not well versed in badiou . . . . i'm simply a layman who has an opinion about badiou's position, based upon my first readings of him . . . . in time, that opinion may change as i read more of badiou's works my (provisional) opinion may also change if i'm...

picked up a copy of Lady Sov's "Random" remixes at Kim's Video yesterday . . . . this may or may not be grime, but it's incontestably wicked

i'd be interested in knowing which tracks off "Run the Road" people here rate . . . . these are the tracks that I like the most: (1) roll deep -- "let it out" (2) demon feat. big e-d -- "i won't change" (3) wonder & plan b -- "cap back" (4) tinchy stryder -- "move" (5) lady sov -- "cha...

also, bear in mind that when i say "rave" i'm talking about what i take to be the music's true essence, i.e., that the true basics of wicked/psychedelic dance music don't change, and that the best stuff is made by the very same people (or by their younger brothers, nephews, cousins) who brought...

yeah, i listened to the show last night . . . . cameo's w'burg set was a lot more rave-y than what he appears to play on bbc (if my ears are to be trusted) again, to my mind nothing tops "rave" when it's the real-deal badman music, which is what cameo played in spades

yeah, except this time i posted a link to their website and posted a link to my thoughts about them . . . . judging by the paucity of comments, people must not like what they hear or what i say . . . . obviously they've nothing to do with grime or uk garage or krunk or street beats (though i...

yeah -- my impression has always been that balearic, whatever its genealogy, was a combined italian/english effort circa 89-92, and that sometime around 91/93, depending on how you draw the lines, balearic house became progressive house . . . . that is, just as there were always "junglistic"...

actually, i just listened to one of the sasha mixes out of curiousity . . . . it's sasha playing rave tempo, not balearic, which makes sense considering the website is an old-skool rave site . . . . so looks like i'm not the man to help you

didn't realize you wrote for Wire Magazine!!! Had you categorized as a Village Voice/brit music magazines from the 80s type! . . . . actually, what i mean by a wire magazine type is a white male studenty type who reads a lot about music (sounds like me so far!) AND who stands motionless on the...

hmmmm . . . . think most of what i had in mind was 91/92, i.e., the stuff on creative especially . . . . 89/90 is slightly outside my frame of reference . . . . however, if you go to "everything starts with an e," they have old sasha mixes from 89/90 that you can download -- then it'd simply be...

saw dj cameo last night and was very impressed -- the music far surpassed my expectations -- perhaps because i'm a rave-ist at heart . . . . that is, there's some question as to whether dj cameo skewed his set to please American ears by playing the more dance-oriented grime stuff . . . . but...
