was the RA discussion about the black madonna's name? have long thought it was a dubious choice. i remember when i first heard of her squinting at photos thinking "well...maybe she's just very light-skinned...?"
― lex pretend, Monday, 23 January 2017 19:46 (seven years ago) link
has an ra comment thread ever been that progressive, ime the discourse is usually at the level of a shitty subreddit
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Monday, 23 January 2017 19:48 (seven years ago) link
some of the discussion was about her name, some of it was about whether she was an obnoxious person (i.e. is she too poltiical for her own good) and some of it was along the lines of this thread (are her tracks good pastiche or bad pastiche)
not sure why the thread was locked actually since it seemed pretty tame, i imagine there must have been some more offensive comments that got deleted

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Madonna
according to a professor of medieval art history i know (my sister) the question of whether the black madonna actually represents a black person has been in active debate for more than 500 years
so i guess i am willing to give her a pass?

the comments griping about chicago having better djs that aren't booked, etc, always straddles the line between a possible real complaint and people just making random accusations
it's like, is the commenter actually part of this scene or a dj and has failed to get booked at smart bar, or do they know someone who has been rejected, or are they just pissed because the black madonna gets booked other places instead of whatever dj they want to see
it reminds me of the classic complaints on local places where someone would ask "why are you booking this local guy again and not <insert international superstar dj>??"

I'm curious what you mean exactly?
I'm sure you're right about how it sounds on a system. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the lo-fi house thing but I like the over-saturated, over-compressed textures as a deliberate aesthetic choice. Probably better for headphones.
