though if they are abstracted from their rep and the overt dorkiness and oppositional framing, then just the music on its own terms is perfectly comprehensible or at least not insuperably weird to a bbc6 sort of audience

traditionally the reactions veer from intrigued to horrified with a smattering of obsessive adoration - don't think that's changed, or that the whole dulwich hamlet package is now 'tolerable' to the middle class normcore hivemind. i reckon they have as much working class support as anything else - they're certainly from that milieu - and their whimsicality/anachronism is smeared and smudged under tonnes of, yeah, communist sloganeering, fabricated transfer rumours, a sense of 'hardcore supporter' menace and an oversaturated fandom style that's just too much for most people.

this is all getting taken out on the leg of a dulwich hamlet supporter next weekend, and it is all your fault, nakhers, all your fault
"probably dog-like sparky. I find it a very relatable song" she affirms, yet she also probably slightly prefers the tangentially-related work of north sea radio orchestra and their parent band shrubbies, which is ok coz they're pretty much just as good :)

The LiveJournal blogger, who spent two months working at the centre until mid-March, said she was paid 45,000 roubles (£520, $790) a month, to run a number of accounts on the site. There was no contract - the only document she signed was a non-disclosure form. She was ordered not to tell her friends about the job, nor to add any of them to the social media accounts she would run under pseudonyms.
“We had to write ‘ordinary posts’, about making cakes or music tracks we liked, but then every now and then throw in a political post about how the Kiev government is fascist, or that sort of thing,” she said.

have u ever felt there to be some irreconcilability or incommensurability between your interest in sport and your interest in 'intellectual' life such as poetry, theory, films of a high-minded persuasion, musickes of the progge and epicke varieties etc?

no
sport is aesthetically consistent with my more shall we say formalist cultural regards,
my only problem with sport is the gender imbalance but sports have remedied other exclusions in the past and i have faith they'll continue to do so. plus i just overlook the fact i'm largely watching men rather than women because the sports themselves are so aesthetically pleasing

Jaggery had played Seattle before, though I was still in Hawaii when they were here last. The lead for this group is fronted by a truly dynamic vocalist, Singer Mali . . . and when I say that, it is with all the respect one might imagine… the music they play keeps the “prog” in mind, but is more attuned to that “prog-opera” I mentioned earlier in this piece… though I’m not intimately familiar with all the terms proggers use to describe their music, the lead-off piece sounded (to me) like “wicked chamber dirge” – some of the most impressive and powerful high-range vocal work I’ve heard in years.

Kayo Dot is an American avant-rock/experimental music group that was formed in 2003 by Toby Driver. They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn's Tzadik Records label that year. Tzadik's descriptive label on that album reads: "Kayo Dot powerfully integrates elements of modern classical composition with the layers of guitars and vocals more common to rock and metal. With a compositional map that is strict in form yet malleable in execution, Kayo Dot uses a vast array of instrumentation to create an exciting convergence of violence and serenity."
Since then, Kayo Dot's music has undergone several identity shifts, largely influenced by the band's constantly-changing lineup and instrumentation. One predominant element of Driver's compositional voice which remains consistent throughout all of Kayo Dot's output, however, is the band's use of abstract timing and performance cues. This lends to the music the element of "malleability" mentioned in Tzadik's description above.
The music of Kayo Dot is commonly categorized as post-metal, post-rock, progressive rock, or avant-garde. Their songs involve complex instrumentation (composed by singer and frontman Driver). They are substantially longer than typical rock songs, usually ranging from 8 to 18 minutes in length.Jaggery
"Torture chamber pop." "Darkwave jazz." "Siren rock." These are a few of the many attempts to describe the sound of Jaggery, an art-rock collective which weaves harp, viola, piano, contrabass, and drum kit into a universe of its own, setting the scene for "one of the most beautiful voices in modern music." Powerful enough to harness the fiery churnings beneath a volcano as well as the ethereal light of a dying star, frontwoman Singer Mali's voice regularly leaves listeners viscerally stunned and with goosebumps.

Alluring mélange: the lack of care in the toss of a hand barely holding a cigarette, the boredom and lust of nonchalant breasts, yet suddenly the firm insistence upon perfection— like a finely crafted bustier with small stitching— ever fluxing between tension and release.
