man that sucks, can we have some non-shitty news on here? :(

lots of irrelevant non-musical stuff happens to artists. lots of ppl are robbed, the story is that it's a video & the grossness is that it's been done with/for a huge online audience. you post it because ppl are posting it, but it's also participating in that grossness. the pretense is in pretending we need to see it, that there's some journalistic value to watching a kid get beaten up.
― ogmor, Monday, 24 June 2013 00:21 (eleven years ago) link
i'd say there's some journalistic value in recognizing the the place a lot of the kids come from that we troll for Content(R) from the comfort of our computer screens is pretty awful.

recognise it by taking part in it? i don't think most of the ppl spreading this on twitter have any salutary intent. they're participating in a violent, public humiliation. not sure this points to anything special about parts of chicago so much as the oh-so comfortable internet.
if i saw that hundreds of ppl were circulating a video of famous blogger & ilx personality d-40 getting pasted, i wld not bump the is deej a hipster? thread w/ it. "i know we enjoy deej's Content(R), but i feel only when you have watched this video of his bleeding face will you be free from complicity in cultural tourism. peace." ofc you'd be free to come and tell me i had my head in the sand blah blah blah

who's asking anyone to leer at it? I'm simply presenting information that you can elect to respond to. The one response that i find corny & irresponsible is "we should pretend this doesn't exist"

i'm sure there'd be a point at which you'd decide a video was too gross to post on here, i think this is already over the line. no one's pretending it doesn't exist any more than they are w/ sex tapes or nude pics that we refrain from posting here.
― ogmor, Monday, 24 June 2013 10:30 (eleven years ago) link
well no one had discussed it to that point.
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 24 June 2013 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not against D-40 posting it, it's just a really shitty thin to happen, and kind of a shitty video in the way they slow down and repeat parts of it like that.

similar thing happened to dj dark shadows of nottingham a while back but i declined to post it in here

Really wish I hadn't watched that video.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 24 June 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
deej, I think a lot of the issue here is you posted the video with no context or warning of what it was, which was a pretty tactless thing to do, especially given the rather voyeuristic presentation.
― The Reverend, Monday, 24 June 2013 23:57 (eleven years ago) link
apologies for not giving a heads up i guess

the video was confronting but I had no problem with it being posted

Really enjoying the DJ Rashad Double Cup album. Haven't seen too much about it around ILX, but maybe I haven't been looking in the right places.
― Non-Stop Erotic Calculus (bmus), Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:08 (ten years ago) link
Ooh. When is that coming out?Just saw Rashad in Boston last week... fella was on crutches but still killed it. Talented dude.
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 10 October 2013 22:15 (ten years ago) link
I believe that it's supposed to be released on the 22nd of this month, but I think it's floating around out there too.
― Non-Stop Erotic Calculus (bmus), Thursday, 10 October 2013 22:23 (ten years ago) link
Rashad is in too much pain post-accident to play out on the reg :( (was gonna see him on Saturday) but Double Cup is really good

damn, as someone who has been dealing with a back injury while playing gigs over the last year, i feel for him. the new album is so good.
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 15 October 2013 19:12 (ten years ago) link
Very unfortunate to hear about his injuries, but I heard Double Cup today and it is something. I could listen to Let U No for days on end.

Double Cup is amazing.

its nice and everything, but teklife vol 1 was much better imo.
― StillAdvance, Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:31 (ten years ago) link
Listening now.
Teklife was my fave album of the last few years, so... that'll take some beating.Sounds great so far though. Def digging the last half more than the first, but... first listen, so who knows?

What I love about this music is how spare it is. It's almost a challenge, musically, to latch onto things, and yet the songs progress, go through changes just like normal music. I always find myself surprised at how LOUD the snare and hi-hats are, like someone who was blind might be surprised to see how bright light was for the first time. Watching the youtube videos of people dancing to this stuff makes it clear why it sound the way it does, but as a writer of music, and appreciator of new dance music, juke/footwork is like a faberge egg: specialized, seemingly of little use to non-devotees, and utterly unique.
(also, as to making music, I find this style of music EXTREMELY applicable to genre-fuckery. You can add almost anything to a juke template, and make it into a different kind of song. For some reason, this doesn't annoy me the way, say, dubstep or disco reworks might).
