terence got fucked over by precious and stupid rock journos for:
a) being too much of a pretty boy
b) saying that his first album was better than sgt peppers. apparently its ok for the gallaghers to talk shit about the beatles but not terence
c) supposedly being too arrogant. like thats a bad thing.

that said, he made some truly brilliant songs, some great albums (pretentiousness - whatever), and possessed one of the greatest voices of the past 20 years.

wtf are you even talking about?

From you and Lethbridge-Stewart, I'll take those as compliments.

Here, see if you can get this one, it's much better than "fuck you": There's been a great feast of languages but you've stolen only the scraps.

Public Enemy brought a new energy and political awareness to hip-hop which brought many who would not have come within spitting distance of the genre into the fold. There is no way on earth that Suede can be said to have done the same for indie. It was v telling that when East 17 were asked to name their fave Suede song in NME's Material World column they replied "don't know any". Anderson & co were far more derivative than their press would suggest, even tho Brett made no secret of the fact that he hero-worshipped Bowie and Morrissey.

More I think about that one, the more certain I am it's a joke.

"ditch that" has a 4/4 beat no?

that aint bad

roxy is going against the stream all over ilx 2nite

ya dude totes

defendin j0hn d. from boring zings (rightfully so!) and pithily justifyin zinged ilm post

i dont even know, im completely zoned out

wtf is zingable about that ilm post

other than confusing 4/4 and 4 on the floor

theres plenty of embarrassing ilm shit out there but like 60% of this thread was just boring ilm filler. i.e. me describing my ballot in one sentence.

not really. bored. this thread is sub excelsior :(

yeah this thread is on some shit i agree

i think like 86% of my ilm posts are in here

lol deej chillax brah

other than confusing 4/4 and 4 on the floor

that's why I posted it

I guess you need the context to get the larger point he was trying to make, which iirc was something like "this song is trancey... I mean, it's in 4/4, after all"

ohhhhhh

contextual burn

But am I the only person who thinks it's amazing that Norman Cook was in The Housemartins (and Beats International; and The Mighty Dub Katz; and...) before he was Fatboy Slim? Even when "The Rockafeller Skank" hit, no one seemed to think it was a big deal.

i think justice is my favorite new dance music discovery of the last year or so. i do think their productions operate within a certain idiom, but i think i'd find that the majority of the producers i most enjoy do as well. i wouldn't disagree that there is an idm-ness to them, but i don't think it sounds so much as studied as labored over. i like very intricate dance music, and i also like things that aren't always so easy to dance to. that being said, it's been a while since i heard any proper idm that i wanted to hear more than once or twice. i really just like the roughness, it's a pleasant counterpoint to the sleek femininity or mopey androgyny of other stuff i listen to. it sounds genuinely masculine in a way that i rarely enjoy with dance music.

i'm primarily referring to the implementation of overtly masculine elements within modern dance music, btw. but maybe it's inappropriate to assign a gender to these sorts of things anyway.

oh yeah, IDM, first thing i think of when i hear justice.

EMP 2008 Pop Conference

i'm definitely going to read that, and all the blogs it links to.

i wrote a bog about how much i hated music criticism and this stranger messaged me and was like "hi! you arent at the emp conference, by chance?"

hott

internet hookupz

the posts are coming from inside the conference

get out now

that link to the daily swarm re: emp is pretty funny

I was being slightly tongue in cheek their Geir. I mean, pretending to be satan is just plain ridiculous.

This track is indeed, excellent, so excellent. In fact, I'm now listening to it, sped up by 24%, with old rave tracks on top of it, to hear what it would sounds like as an actually happy house song. The question now is why?

-- mehlt, Monday, February 4, 2008 5:42 AM (2 months ago) Bookmark Link

why because it so excellnt

Band A is/are the American/ British Band B......

is/are

Hmm, cannot say that I've especially noticed any particularly "hot" mastering on this. Might run it through Audacity later and see what tale the waveform tells.

when did "running it through audacity" become the new audiophilia toy

when it became free and vaguely usable to the layman e.g. runs on OS X without having to fire up X11

here come the hot stamper
