Oh also he defends the 'grime is dead' claim that people brought up earlier in this thread: ...and so on, its in that link :) ^^

Did you guys catch this? Text version of Simon's talk, plus extra notes on gender, drugs, race, technology that he didn't have time to address. http://energyflashbysimonreynolds.blogspot.com/2009/02/hardcore-continuum-or-theory-and-its.html

see thats why i wanted to do this event - surely there is so much out there associated with the continuum that the man himself never said or meant to imply. anyway i also wanted to do it so people could ask questions to him directly and have a (heated) discussion rather than an internet...

^^^ yea was wondering when you'd notice - hi! :)

hmm, so if i changed the thread title to 'High quality video of Simon Reynolds discussing something directly that has sparked 20 pages of interesting comments already - for free, for all to discuss' - would that help? :cool:

I'm not sure why this was moved this to the events section... considering the other thread was 20 pages long I thought it was a way of focussing that discussion a bit better. Well I guess then I will move the discussion BACK to the 20 page thread... :)

oh I forgot to say also - Simon mentioned that he had a few other notes he was hoping to touch on during the discussion and Q&A section but didn't get to - about the role of digital technology especially. He said he'll post those notes up on his blog eventually - but if you have questions about...

Hey you guys found this before I did! The video from our event is now posted - two hours of Simon plus kpunk talking about the hardcore continuum. http://fact.tv/videos/watch/518 I put this in a new thread so the link isn't lost among 20 pages but also to separate some responses to this...

Before we go much further here, I will try to get the video up by mid next week so you can see what Simon had to say about it - he addressed some of the grumbling about the continuum. We didn't have much time for Q&A afterwards which was a shame so maybe once I post the video I can try to twist...

^^ really? thats odd... well, hope you got your ticket, let me know if you had problems.

sorry to bump this but FYI there are only a few tickets left, so if you want to come along, better get booking or be disappointed... http://www.picturehouses.co.uk

Exciting stuff - as a lead up to the event, The Wire is featuring an online exclusive where Simon reaches into the archives and pulls together 7 articles about then-emerging 'hardcore continuum' genres, with a new introduction. Just posted on http://www.thewire.co.uk! Check out the...

you love it!

Hey the continuum isn't all London these days - bassline?! But as to whether bassline *should* be part of the continuum (and nevermind the fact that Liverpool isn't exactly the center of the bassline universe), come and argue with Simon. :)

Reynolds hardcore continuum event - WEB EXCLUSIVE The hardcore continuum - an idea that has stretched so far it is meaningless? A failed way for olders to relate to youngers? Or a useful framework for discussing rave music in the UK? Ask Reynolds! ;)...

whoops, forgot to update the info with the full lineup... should be massive! and if you're dying to know who the guest mc is, i'll give you two guesses, and its not crazy d so it should really only take you one guess. :):D

hello, lets revisit this topic... march is here, that means this is coming up soon!

I've only been been involved with Abacus for a short time, so I'm not sure. This is the first of our parties I've been really involved with... after the pleasant discovery, as I say, that my housemates were interested in the dubstep I was listening to. You'd be surprised, squatters can be pretty...
