Local analogue buzzer Diamond Dagger deals in both ‘boogie’ and ‘electro boogie’ genres (as per the bandcamp page) as well as propagating what sounds like soundtracks to forgotten or possibly non-existent, made-up movies and computer games on Estate Crudele. On Apollo’s Creed for example,layers of vintage synthistry build sweetly over a krauty beat that feels like it could build infinitely. Only complaint: there’s not more of the likes of last year’s What’s Your Friend’s Name, the DD collaboration with Meljoann.

The backstory:

One of our jeansmiths started a batch of our Surry Raw jeans with blue stitching — and they’re sort of gorgeous, so we finished the run (total pairs, 68).

just bumping this thread because I feel a little down and it cheers me up

omg "topical gagsmith," somehow missed that one until now

Milo, the Philosoraptor. Rap Game Kwame Appiah. Elrond Hubbard, your idiot vagabond brother. He’s not a rapper, he’s a rapsmith. If you can’t discern the difference, you’re thinking too hard.

when it comes to rapsmithery, I don't think there's any debate: it's Will Smith or nothing, and #fuckthehaters

(stay tuned for my Sam Smith pun, working on it as we speak)

(give me just a little more time)

It’s back to the Imperial Theatre for more countrified twangsmithery, and the oddly-named Musée Mécanique, who are actually from Portland, Oregon and deeply traditional.

(not gonna lie: I'm sometimes guilty of this type of writeuppery myself - my most recent “a *** slice of...” was um... last night, and I also don't mind making some words up, it's fun!)
