the quietus : the new look

*hip HOP

Yeah, Oxford University Press and The Times "fuck with the z" for everything iirc.

Etymological justifications regarding the Greek -izein have a point, but that's also some marshy territory if you're looking for a general rule. You end up worrying about a split between Greek words vs French loan words ending in -iser for a bit before you remember how many words came to us through both in turn, or neither at all. Do you have to second-guess for new formations whether the person who coined the word picked the ending by analogy to a classical word or a French word or neither?

(old bore in rocking chair.jpg)

In my job I talk to kids about pop music way more than I talk to anyone on here. Those kids are mostly faster, funnier and sharper than any of the smug baiting I read on ILM.

like a british deej with bad taste.

if you're gonna get all greek, then it would be "xarakterise," cuz there's no C in greek

xarakterize

early onset alzheimers, sorry

I have to say Ihave enjoyed the turn this thread has taken. Whether you ignore it or not lj, you have moved to the top of my list of ppl to send my novel to if i ever finish it.

And xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxposts Neil you say you'd prefer people to combat you with different suggestions if they do not care for the ones you selected and then dismiss two whole sub genres out of hand (hyphy and bay area rap).

well tbf there's hardly any time for bay area stuff or yung jeezy when there's so much j cole and asher roth to digest

There was one hyphen I removed, however, in 'Bay-Area'; as one cannot strike-through a hyphen, I merely replaced it with a space.

wtf with hyphenating "Bay Area" - which refers to the SF Bay Area, which is not hyphenated ... ever.

yeah k3vin stay in your lane wrt hyphenating bro

why don't you join the neil kulkarni beef parade xp

too many cooks, LJ, too many cooks

neil kulkarni beef parade

Either a band name or a blog title.

or a COGH thread that only KBP posts to

the quietus : the new look : NAG

suzy says her editor says that their tights are better than Chanel

"Neil Kulkarni Beef Parade"? Look, I was young, I needed the work, I was assured it would only be released in South America.

there was a band called the Iowa Beef Experience. They were like the Cows...of Iowa.

What is this thread again?

"rap criticism," butthurtedness, copy editing

lol EIII

Doran, some real talk from across the pond. I'm very psyched on this feature

http://thequietus.com/articles/06869-portishead-bakers-dozen

But I'm not psyched to click through 14 things to read it.

tell me about it.

besides that's only 2/3rds of portishead and i'd kinda be more interested in hearing beth's than the two fellas.

Eh that's nothing, this one in Fact today is 30 pages long!

http://www.factmag.com/2011/08/30/30-albums-you-can-still-look-forward-to-in-2011/

With like a line of text for each album

I wonder what Adrian Utley's 50 favorite sneakers are

Dudes,

We do this like once a month. Come on, fucking cut me some slack - I have to pay my rent. We don't do advertorial like most of the other sites, we don't do skins or band take overs or have massively intrusive campaigns. Or take money of petrol and car companies and all that stuff.

If you don't want to click a button 13 times don't do it but don't be giving me grief like you have to face the two stone guardians one who always lies and another who always tells the truth before casting the ring into Mount Doom to find out.

And Jed - since when has Beth Gibbons ever done press? It's like complaining about us not getting a JD Salinger interview.

We beg, we plead, we fucking wheedle with all these people to let us interview them properly but some - for whatever reason - won't, they insist on doing it themselves. And then, despite the fact that we've asked for a minimum of 200 words on each record, they come back, like one nonesensical sentence. And do you know why? Because the request will go through a bare minimum of two other people before it gets to the band and I have no idea whether my full message gets passed on or not.

At the end of the day though, I'm still pathetically grateful. We've run about three really lengthy, in depth features on Portishead on the site, and you could just go and read those instead if you wanted - I just wanted to do something different this time.

Speaking personally there were two albums on the list that I've never heard of and I'm going to check out.

You know, if I was less of a man, I'd say fuck the lot of you to everyone who has depressed more than 13 keys to whinge here on a public forum.

But I am a big man. And I have nothing but love for all of you.

I will try as I do every day, to make my site better. Just for you four.

I was actually talking about the FACT list but thanks!

Ha ha. Ok, sorry. I'm sat dandling my son listening to Val Doonican. I'm actually in a very good mood.

With love baby. With love.

Doran, sorry man, i know these things can be tough to arrange. keep on doing it and i'll shut up. although i would be more interested in the beth's choices just saying that, i've read and seen her interviewed although much less frequently than the other two and even when she is to say that she plays her cards close to her chest would be a huge understatement. all the best.

Well, I'd attempt to be first in line to interview her if the chance ever arose but it's very much unlikely unfortunately.

I think the main focus of the group not doing interviews is actually quite good from the band's POV - creates mystery and desire - but not so good from my POV unfortunately.

And yeah, she's not Thomas Pyncheon but there again we're not MOJO or Rolling Stone either and just wouldn't get any time with her.

Doran we've had a few convos about site design like this before (especially on the rap threads since sites like Complex tend to be the worst offenders with clickthroughs on their rap listicles) -- i'm just reposting something i said on the matter once as food for thought, not to argue with you because honestly it is nice to at least have someone from a site that trades in this practice defend it in somewhat understandable terms:

borkslovethewu (some dude) wrote this on thread DJ QUIK - THE BOOK OF DAVID - 2010 on board I Love Music on Apr 10, 2011

like if you want people to consume your work in a way that financially benefits you, then there's kind of a social contract that demands you not be too obnoxious about making them jump through extra hoops to get it
