This is the thing about a lot of exciting moments in dance music, isn't it. The thing that makes them exciting is the tension between basically incompatible elements, which also makes them inherently unstable. You think you're being clever by rejecting the bad one and then when you finally get...

Is 5/8 allowed? It's arguably a different feel sometimes:

I've just got back from a weekend in Elenydd, the Green Desert of Wales. It's an incredibly sparsely populated area. From the top of Drygarn Fawr you can see Cardigan Bay to the West and Hay Bluff to the East, so you can essentially see the whole width of the country.

I guess that making more sense live than on record is part of the same thing, right?

I think there's a bit of a thing of people in very local scenes being kind of able to commit harder to whatever they do because people are kind-of prepared for it, right? I mean, there's a lot of mythology around super confrontational gigs with people doing extremely weird stuff in front of...

It's lowkey hilarous watching all this Tesla renumeration bullshit going on. Like, the any halfway intelligent shareholders presumably want to say that Musk can fuck off because he's basically a media-friendly[1] figurehead who in most other respects does very little that anyone with a pulse...

It's annoying because you used to be able to go to a standard curry house and everyone could order pretty much what they liked and you could keep it simple by splitting the bill at the end and it'd be fine because it was cheap anyway. These days if you're just getting a curry, rice and a drink...

It's not exactly digging deep, but Liquid Swords, Player's Anthem and G Thang seem hard to argue with for me. Basically just distillations of a given style. G Thang: Player's Anthem:

Most of the way through Monolithic Undertow: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9781474615259 Dunno, it's enjoyable but a) once it gets past the introduction it turns into a bit of an annotated discography - "then they recorded this album which was a bit slower and heavier, then the...

Beware of Greeks wearing shifts.

Do you find that people hurriedly change the subject if you start asking too many questions about where they come from or what happens "upstairs"?

The sandal's on the other foot now, eh, Zeus?

Although it doesn't have the same satisfying fall-and-rise arc as Dune, if that's what your mate likes about it. More just "everything's so fucked that getting impaled on a metal thorn tree by an incomprehensible god of death seems like a pretty good option". It's great, though.

Hyperion, maybe?
