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"

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. -- firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, November 8, 2005 7:59 PM (2 years ago) Bookmark Link

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. -- firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, November 8, 2005 8:06 PM (2 years ago) Bookmark Link

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?

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.

Hey here's a clip of Alice Cooper doing Eighteen on TV in 1972. This is a cool song, I've never heard it before. I really don't know Alice Cooper's music at all, I admit, except for "School's Out" I guess.

couple of thoughts:
- the Elzhi album/mixtape/tour cd whatever is really, really dope. he is sounding way better than Jay Electronica (not that impressed with this dude) and Guilty Simpson...not sure if this was ever really contested but I'm saying it anyway
- Pusha T is the best right now. The "Everybody Nose" remix is fucking crazy and he absolutely murders it (love the new beat for it, too)
- um, I guess this last one isn't a thought but is there a new(er) TI single floating around? besides "No Matter What"

while L&PT and beardo threads abound, this audacious album statement really deserves its own thread. i saw Lindstrøm DJ the album during SXSW, but nighttime there doesn't quite lend itself to critical faculties (much less remembrance of details like where you parked or how many Shiners downed or what was in that joint). i recall it being much like an extension of his previous DJ affair, epic and expansive yet taking it too far out at the breakdown and losing dancefloor momentum resolutely.
but as an album, it's a sweet suite, the logical extension of wishing that "Supernature" and "Oxygene" were the same song and that it took up a full album side. jokingly, i told a friend that this is the "Ys of Disco" but in retrospect it's the polar opposite of Ys. whereas i found Ys to be stiff, mannered, and decidedly cool, Where I Go is infused with some serious warmth and good vibes. a shame it's out at the end of summer rather than soundtracking it.

I once requested Galang or Bucky Done Gun and the DJ had no clue what I was talking about. I think this has happened more than once...

pet peeve--writers who do the following:
- they quote something clever an unnamed "friend" said - they quote themselves saying something clever to an unnamed "friend" - they quote something clever they overheard from an anonymous fellow audience member
all of the above occur as they're leaving the theater or venue
