Hahaha.. that vibe piece is great: "Nas has issues. He’s in the hood, Queensbridge projects, he’s gotta keep it real with the fellas. Then he picks up the phone and talks with me discussing NASA and the universe and hip hop’s role on Mars. When I asked him, “Nas I want you to speak at NASA,” he...

How can the Futureheads et al "create the worst music that has ever existed" yet be "a breath of fresh air compared to coldplay and travis" and "be a fun listen to once in a while" (Silverdollar)?

We usually refer to them as "emo kids", although this is probably a misnomer. Those who really listen to emo are probably more short hair, piercings and plugs, and tighter clothes. Following on from this, I read something in the Guardian a few weeks back that rather disturbed me - young kids...

I just noticed that on the Tempa website, they quote a review of the Horsepower LP - "Awesome breaks album" - says Hard to Find records....

I'm bumping this cause I read that Epworth produced or mixed a track on the Kano album, which I haven't heard yet - "I don't know why". Any good? I read this in the Observer tho... PS MPC, you should check out the "Phones Bad Acid Mix" of "Decent Days and Nights" - it's on the B-side of the 7"

This seems to have been happening for a while - with a UKG/nu-skool breaks interpollination about 4-5 years ago. Anyone who saw the Stanton Warriors DJ around then, they were dropping quite a lot of garage-y stuff (Streets, early Jammin, Wookie, El-B...). To me, at least sonically, a lot of...

What do people think of this? I'm intrigued by an evening called "the coral sea" - some sort of collaboration with Cat Power and Kevin Shields? Can't find any info about it though..

So, since there seems to be a lot of people banging on about how great Badiou is, and here's me not even heard of him, when I came across the introduction to "Logics of Worlds" in Radical Philosophy the other week (the article was called "Democratic Materialism and the Materialist Dialectic"), I...

"This won't be news to anyone with offspring, but now it's official: the music business is coming for your children. That's the five-to-11-year-olds, who, it seems, comprise one of the hottest new consumer groups in pop. Yes, Little Miss over there, squealing along to Jamelia, and that...

I like the Futureheads. They're great live, they're spikey and loud and I like their vocal harmonies. I also dig their musical "dogme" attitude that they talked about a year or so ago. I haven't been here (dissensus) long, but I really can't understand how there are threads about the...

more on "fungus remixing" here: http://www.swin.edu.au/maths/molecularmediaproject/molecularmedia.htm and http://www.nanosounds.com/ There's mp3 samples, still photos and movie clips (although the links didnt work for the quicktime files for me) I think this stuff is amazing... The yogurt...

Interesting report... It doesn't make it clear whether the users they interviewed are actually after the codeine/hyrocordone (opiate) high or just buying "syrup". Both opiates and DXM are used in cough syrups as cough suppresents, DXM is a dissociateive anasthetic in high doses, similar to...

Pynchon - Gravity's Rainbow. Because the man has mind-bending range, and so much depth of knowledge in everything talks about (or at least does a great job of making it up). It just blew me away that someone could come up with a piece of work like that. Still my favourite work of fiction. Read a...

Is it trus that Screw (and other people involved with that scence) were into DXM (active ingredient in cough syrup)? I'd heard it as a rumour, but never substantiated. Has anyone written about this? Since we've had e being regarded as a huge influence in music, and LSD before that, maybe it's...

Does anyone know a good way of saving tracklistings with mp3 mixes? I don't seem to be able to fit it all in the id3 tag

Current, not all time: 1. The Arcade Fire - Funeral 2. British Sea Power - Open Season 3. Phones remix of the Futureheads' "Hounds of Love" cover 4. CSI first series on DVD, wasting my hours away.. 5. Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden 5. The Velapene Screen remix of Interpol's "untitled" 6. Various...

I'm talking about those Pioneer decks that allow you to mix DVDs like CDs, with pitch control etc for the video. Yeah, but we're not talking about composers, this is VJs as opposed to DJs. By the same analogy, a DJ wouldn't need a copy of someone's album/record, just a bank of samples. DJing...

Who wants a BrainGate... next year's essential cyberpunk accessory: http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1448140,00.html

I think I really like videos that have a narrative structure that is little or nothing to do with the music.. that Chemical Brothers vid a few years ago with the girl in the gymnastics competition springs to mind. Oh.. and the one Pleix made for Plaid http://www.pleix.net/films.html So what do...

Hello all, my 1st post but been lurking on here for a little while.. Dunno if i'll get much positive response to this, but what the hell What do you all think of Paul Epworth, as a producer/remixer...? I can't get enough of his last two remixes for the Futureheads..
