now isn't the time to talk about dusty old psychobilly records you've bought, rich. now is the time to celebrate two GOATs of electronic music in their prime returning to america.

Don't worry, I don't know what style Milky Wimpshake are but I would never buy a record by them under any circumstances.

On the other hand I'm so sick of this phrase GOAT especially when they use a little goat icon or, worse, say GOATED - I hate that as much as 'woke'.

In Infinite Jest there as a girl known as The Pgoat (prettiest girl of all time) but if I read it again that would likely be spoiled for me and I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

I can imagine you enjoying that... up to a point cos it goes on and on and the jokes etc get really tired by the end.

anyone following the keyosc ama they've been doing? mixed feelings about the endless "how did you make sound x in track y" questions - on the one hand the explanations can be interesting, on the other hand it's not like knowing this shit will help you be them. their creation process seems driven by spontaneous curiosity and intuitive rule-breaking, so getting super hung up on specific recipes they've used would, i think, be missing the underlying lesson.

was surprised by a few patterns. a) their post-90s stuff is more hands-on / realtime that i imagined - some weird pseudo-scratching device, improvised keyboard melodies and percussion, and so on. and b) beneath the hermetic abstract surface they're constantly sampling random old shit - kung fu movies, 70s prog, the talking heads, old tv ads... not sampling in the recognizable pop art sense so much as syphoning the "total recall" internet media archive, using it like a natural resource for building new structures. (some of @.....'s ableton experiments seem to work in a similar way imo.)

I haven't been reading the Ae thing, but I had a similar feeling recently looking at a few RA features. There's a production one Blackdown did with Sully I started reading then suddenly thought "Do I actually care or need to read this? I can just listen to the tunes. What do I get from reading someone say 'I basically get some ideas down, play around a bit and see where it goes... ' for the nth time?". That's not a knock against Sully, I like his stuff. There just isn't that much to say about production unless you want very specific technical information and they're willing and able to provide that kind of detail. It's rarely as interesting to have a musician explain their music as it is to listen to it. That's why those Burial interviews stood out so much back in the day. Assuming it was actually him, what he said actually expanded on the music.

tbf four tet would be a decent digger/curator if he didn't make such awful music. That's the thing, socialism will abolish individual musicians. no romance foryou Jack!
