Yes you were, and no maybe about it - you shouldn't be.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

No we weren't. He couldn't remember Soweto Kinch's name, and he made a guess at it. That's it. That's what it was. That's all it fucking was.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Then you should have said that, instead of "There's that Brummie guy with the stupid name," shouldn't you?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but this doesn't ACTUALLY indicate racism, does it? Idiocy I will accept, ranting without having heard the music I will also accept. But for fuck's sake, Marcello, you're intelligent enough not to stoop such to sub-Trifean levels... I mean, Jesus.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

This is demeaning everybody involved now.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

So would it be racism if I'd done the same thing about a white guy, or are you just randomly chucking out double standards because trolling is more productive for you than forming actual relationships with other human beings?

Cool down bredren. Stop all the fussin' and fightin'.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Soweto Kinch any good then? Should I buy his record?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:48 (twenty-two years ago)

He's potentially a very good altoist indeed. The record's OK - I'm not sure that the rap stuff fits in, and the d&b bit on "Mungo's Adventure" doesn't quite work, but things like "Doxology" and "Flame Thrower" are very fine post-Coltrane workouts. I'd say it was worth a listen.

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 9 September 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, can I add my two cents?

A) I wasn't a huge fan of that piece, largely b/c I thought the IM-ish thing was just sort of sloppy and hard to read. Nick and I tried to pull off a piece like this earlier and, well, it never ran. For good reason.

B) I think there's a difference between "racism" and "racial insensitivity". One is pretty much evil -- the other merely stupid. This seemed to clearly be flirting the latter -- a tossed-off, somewhat poorly thought-out attempt at glibness.

I would hope, Marcello, you wouldn't write off Stylus based on one isolated instance of something of this nature.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

(btw, Marcello, nice tribute to Ian Mac in COM)

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Tuesday, 9 September 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

three years pass...

Someone on another board (ok, h1p1n1on) says this, which may or may not be an attempt at a hoax, but I'm just copying since I don't know:

One of my friends works at a promotions company and got an email back from them saying:
"Hi there PR person/band person:
Stylus Magazine will no longer be actively published starting on
October 31, 2007. We may or may not be stopping publishing reviews
long before that, so please DO NOT send any discs to us."

Originally I was going to post this picture:

― Dom Passantino, Thursday, 30 August 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

some behind-the-scenes magic right there

― and what, Thursday, 30 August 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)

hey, ethan, two out of three ain't bad, especially the one at the back. you could argue on balance that it's a haul to be proud of!

― Just got offed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

if it's true, then someone's got to keep Single Jukebox alive. It's my favorite feature, with some of the stalwarts of NYLPM.

― orb_q, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, i'd be bummed if that got the ax too, for obvious reasons.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

What???

― baaderonixx, Friday, 31 August 2007 10:11 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know! That's why I posted it.

― StanM, Friday, 31 August 2007 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

Well the Stypod went away a few weeks ago and Beatz By the Pound (my definite favorite part of the site) has certainly slowed in the past few weeks. Surely someone here can confirm.

― matt2, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:16 (eighteen years ago)

:-( :-( :-(

― Cunga, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

stylus has a weekly feature about beats by the pound?!

― and what, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:21 (eighteen years ago)

you missed last week's column about Charge It 2 Da Game?

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i gotta say the debate between mo b. dick & nick southall about radiohead's best album was kinda predictable tho

― and what, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

???

― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:44 (eighteen years ago)

haha i could actually imagine an audiophile discussion between klc and southall, he seems like the kind of dude who would give a shit about that sort of thing

― deej, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

time for KLC poll

― and what, Friday, 31 August 2007 16:54 (eighteen years ago)

... so it's not true then? Or aren't we supposed to know about it yet?

― StanM, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 11:38 (eighteen years ago)

so this was on HIPINION was it

― am0n, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

I'm still writing.

― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:35 (eighteen years ago)

ok, fair point, the two of you.

― StanM, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't know about Hipinion til today...JESUS CHRIST! IT'S TERRRRRRIBLE.

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

i need an ALL NEW STYLUS for one of my turntables

― deej, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 23:12 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

any news?

― groovemaaan, Thursday, 25 October 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

Probably a hoax, never heard a thing about this since.

― StanM, Thursday, 25 October 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think it's telling tales out of school if I say so, but it turns out it's true, Stylus is kaput.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 25 October 2007 23:25 (eighteen years ago)

Really?

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 25 October 2007 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

so I hear! I haven't been a regular contributor or in the loop for like a year, though. sorry to anyone if it's supposed to be under wraps at the moment but if people are already speculating then it's not really much a secret.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 25 October 2007 23:31 (eighteen years ago)

Uh.

― jaymc, Thursday, 25 October 2007 23:34 (eighteen years ago)

ach, just saw the end of that email that said it wasn't supposed to be known yet. mods, feel free to delete, i guess.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 25 October 2007 23:35 (eighteen years ago)

WAU.

Terrible if true. Stylus is a really good online magazine.

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 26 October 2007 01:16 (eighteen years ago)

agreed

― tremendoid, Friday, 26 October 2007 01:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'm still writing for them, so.
