Weirdly though when I first started starting The Wire in a WH Smiths (in about 1994) is one one of the only available mags writing about jungle and rap. Also I think back then there wasn't really a 'wire-mag' aesthetic - is was a jazz mag that had got interested in other stuff. There's now a Wire reading niche demographic, and Wire type Wire type places like Cafe Oto in most big citiesMaybe the Wire people do listen to stuff intently but they have different ears?
Like I wouldn't read the Wire to find out about Grime or Drill (or rap lol) but it might be interesting to read what someone who is really into Derek Bailey and Xenakis makes of Grime or Drill.
Barty made me listen to this. say something clever
He just put this one on. It's the drill aesthetic taken to the new dimension
I get angry with wire lists because I know they did not listen they did not do their homework and I think that is unforgivable. You have to work. They don't want to work. I hate lazy people.
this is music in 2020I sat on my porch for 5 or 6 minutes, the length of yr tunes, smoking a spliff. I considered putting them on, in fact, I was overtaken by a hankering for song, for stimulus. Then I intentionally listened to the silence instead.
