    tecnobrega and other open source mashups

    Just saw that RIP doccumentary about remix and open source.. The interesting thing was TECNOBREGA or whatever from Brazil, where they just pinch contemporary pop music and blend it into whatever.. I know so of you experts out there can fill me in on this stuff, but where can I get the...

    RIP Rowland S Howard

    Whilst he aint dub-step-hyperism defintely a 'modernist' guitar player, and one of the more unique and 'world class' influential artists from Australia. Most of you probably know his sound/style - noise guitar fused with a cinematic Morricone-like grandeur informed by the post-punk neurosis -...

    Where at the MBV and New Order remasters?

    Whilst the convict colony I live in gets everything 3 months after the civilised world fact, I'm curious to know what happened to the My Bloody Valentine and New Order remastered deluxe CDs that were meant to come out this time LAST YEAR?? Anyone know? I believe the New Order ones were recalled...

    was jazz targetted to the 'head' culture in it's day?

    Whilst I have been a fan of the more 'free' jazz, I've always been curious to know whether it was marketed as head/psychedelic/stoner type music in the same way music like Pink Floyd/Velvet Underground/Sonic Youth/Eno/garage and psych punk bands/Spacemen3 /techno/lo-fi etc..etc..are? I...

    WOEBOT thread

    ..OK, I've *****READ***** all about this stuff but haven't even HEARD it. So where can I hear this stuff without having to do a blind purchase? That is all I want to know, I'll start the textual, intellectual discourse once it seeped into the psychic space. Cheerio.

    Where to start with Afro beat?

    ..I just finished reading the Brian Eno bio, and lots of passages relating to his love of African music. I saw a Kanda Bongo Man performance on TV recently, and was really blown away by the complex guitar rhythms and groove. Can anyone recommend any good place to start with this African stuff...

    Ben Lee - positivity, indie, dance, New York, global, winner!

    ...WOuld it be fair to say that BEN LEE is the seminal in that he totally revolutionised indie msuic and infused in it that sort of ECSTATIC POSITIVITY that is the norm in indie these days... And while many seem to deride the 'slacker, rich guy, ennui, depression' of the 90s American-indie...

    Sonic Middle-Aged

    ..Interesting to see the intellectual surgery done to Sonic Youth by Reynolds and the K-Punk bloke... Both of them quite correctly picked the Youth 'epoch' period being between 1984-89, and for anyone that was alive around then, they were pretty much the most original, unique, experimental rock...

    90s - the decade of MUSIC DELUSION

    ..was just watching some clips from the 90s, notably the TEENAGE FANCLUB..now don't get me wrong, I think their first album was probably one of the best of the 90s, but this video just shows how AMERICAN English bands were trying to be back then. The whole long hair, shaggy jeans and...

    Spacemen3 book - anyone read it?

    I'm reading it now that DREAMWEAPON book that came out a few years back.It's funny that someone has written so a praising book about them, and making them out to be such a revolutionary influential band, for just some indi band... But the thing I find most hilarious is how this guy is going for...

    The best "The 12" Versions" re: 80s retro, post punk, dance music etc..

    The best "The 12" Versions" re: 80s retro, post punk, dance music etc.. Since 80s retro is so cool with all the hipsters in New York and Oslo, I was just wondering if anyone has given credence to or collect "12 Inch version' or "Extended plays" of pop songs etc... I mean essentially they were...

    Best source for underground mashup/mixtape mp3s

    I'm sick of every fucken music. Bono should be publically executed, Eno is a fucken boring cunt, hiphop is just bad for the environment and feed consumer addictions. Indie pitchfork music should be prison rape, Vampire Weekend are the biggest fucken boring shitfucker I've ever heard. So where...

    Can Al-Qaida be destroyed?

    Sure they are a nefarious, 'decentralized' 'entity', but it's kinda obvious now that all these brazen Muslim-closet homosexual boys-club terrorist attacks are getting weapons, plans, training and the inspiration from a particular place. Now that the 'bad guy' Bush is out of the way, do you...

    The LA's the most seminal band of the 00s?

    Just listening to the Special Edition of the album and it's scratchy/chimy/rocky sound sounds pretty much the blueprint for UK guitar bands of chop of the 00s..What with Arctic Monkeys and Baby Shambles and all that...

    How does PITCHFORK work?

    Do their reviews dictate which 'indie' bands make it in the USA? Are they like an on-line NME/Melody Maker?? Not sure how good their 'reviewers' are, but it's kinda scary how much power they have in American indie circles...
