    Adam Buxton Podcast Appreciation Thread

    Big fan here. Can't believe you don't like Rosie the dog. The jingles issue I get. It's nice that he seems to have got over the 'my friends are more successful' / 'why am i not allowed to make TV programmes any more?' issues (maybe too strong a word) and is enjoying himself

    Autechre, NTS Residency

    This week's (NTS 2) is amazing and highly recommended for those who think Autechre are all about hypercomplex beats /machine music blah blah. Lots of clever references to the last 10+ years of dance music. A bit more ambient in places. Great stuff Craner: NTS 1 had an artificial intelligence...

    Equiknoxx and weird dancehall

    Loved Bird Sound Power. Not had chance to listen to new one that much, but hasn't grabbed me in quite the same way. Was a bit obsessed with that Fact mix when it came out. This Fader mix from end of last year is also great: http://www.thefader.com/2017/12/20/fader-mix-equiknoxx-gavsborg...

    Music Questionnaire Everyone Must Answer

    Yeah, I was lobbing all Vegan SxE under the Vegan Reich label for convenience. There were obvs vegans and some vegan/ SxE bands about but the the only ones that were good weren't identifying as that. As John mentioned upthread, the UKHC scene was not really SxE- cultural relationship...

    Those who identify as Vegan SxE HxC kids are the most boring po-faced twats imaginable. They meant it

    Music Questionnaire Everyone Must Answer

    By the time I got into H/C properly (1988) SxE was a thing, although more Minor Threat / Bad Religion inspired (and seemingly linked to skateboarding/ BMX) a bit later it was very Revelation focused (YoT, GBs etc) and more American (Jock?) sportswear. It seemed to die off as a specific thing...

    capital by karl marx.

    If you want to explain to a 16 year old their place in the social world in the 21st century in about 5 minutes, you can use Marx easily and pretty convincingly, so he remains massively significant.

    childhood synth nostalgia feels.

    Re: BOC When they came out it was something different, so they stood out. I agree that they wouldn't have done if on Ninja Tune (but probs a bit too outre for them) El Seq is pretty friendly / approachable- El Seq 3 esp. (Re: breakcore Been listening to a lot of DJ Scud / Ambush stuff...

    Is there anybody who likes jazz?

    Thanks Luka. And to think I didn't go and see him in Leeds cause it was £27. What a dick.

    Cycling

    Good work! Especially considering he rides for Quickstep. Roglic (who is in my fantasy team) v impressive. Froome still looking easy. May he go for it tomorrow? Given the weather forecast, the finale may coincide with my bike ride

    Cycling

    It's nice to see a successful attack from a few KM out, will put the other teams on edge for mountain stages. Martin's more of a hilly one day rider / less good Valverde, so he will probably fade. Bardet and Aru are both in my fantasy league, but not sure that Bardet can get better than a low...

    Cycling

    Been looking after son no.2 who has chicken pox for a couple of days, so watched almost all of the stages from start to finish. Soporific for the both of us. Stage four was perfect for looking at chateaux, the French countryside, tractors and diggers. Van Keirsbulck looked mortified when he...
