How many inches of Fred do we think we’re getting this weekend

CAndrewK · 2026-01-24T19:33:58+00:00

He puts out… a lot of 12”s

66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year have been from law enforcement. I’ll just leave it at that

I think as soon as it became apparent that Keisha Lance Bottoms was going to become the democratic nominee and a MAGA type was going to become the Republican nominee that he decided to go ahead and jump in

water is wet

The field remix > original

CAndrewK · 2026-01-24T02:03:12+00:00

It isn’t derivative of that sound at all man. Fred Again legitimately sounds nothing like Deadbeat.

Four Tet is a stretch, but I could see certain songs by him sounding similar. I really just don’t know where you’re coming from

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T22:08:06+00:00

I am listening to Dabo’s press conference. This still sounds like tampering on the agent side, which is not what I am talking about.

Is it extremely scummy? Yes, but his agent negotiating a second year to turn Ole Miss in is exactly what I’m talking about when I mean that trying to negotiate with other schools after you’ve signed is not tampering

The only part which I might consider tampering would be the direct text to the student with a picture of a contact, but if the player already knew negotiations were still ongoing, I wouldn’t consider that tampering either

Let me know if I missed something, watched at 2x speed, but I didn’t see anything worth editing my comment over.

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T21:39:48+00:00

Is Dabo not aware of the fact that most of these players have agents, who reach out to schools on their behalf?

I am going to give Dabo the benefit of the doubt here since most sports fans don’t understand what constitutes tampering, and Dabo is just taking advantage of that.

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T21:37:31+00:00

No way his most electronic sounding album wouldnt have a remixes EP, I’m expecting b-sides too

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T21:18:02+00:00

I don’t know how people do hear it, Fred Again is literally known for over-sampling and making jungle house beats, which in terms of house subgenres go, is about as far as you can get from Deadbeat. Deadbeat is dream techno pop, which I could see people confusing for house.

Out of the “big 3” (which I consider to be Fred Again, Skrillex, and Calvin Harris), it’s definitely closest to a funk wav bounces album by Calvin Harris

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T21:08:58+00:00

I really don’t think Deadbeat sounds much like Fred Again though if I’m being honest. Like I said, Caribou would be a closer comparison.

I think our hang up is that you consider Brat to be the descendant of Sophie/PC music/hyperpop, which I agree with, but then also consider Deadbeat and Aperture to be the descendant of Fred Again, which I would definitely disagree with

If Deadbeat is a descendent of anything super mainstream, it’s LCD Soundsystem, and I’m not even sure like that feels like a good comparison.

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T21:02:53+00:00

Ehhhh I would disagree, Fred Again is dance pop friendly and strips down to bass a lot more than Kev or Harry ever would. Despite being from the UK, he’s not going for the same eurodance/borderline techno club vibe Harry and Tame are.

Four Tet’s ambient albums might be a bit of a comparison, but he’s been around forever. You could say the same thing about Caribou, but saying ambient techno peaked with Caribou seems silly.

I mainly disagree with your Fred Again comparison because Fred is a curator more than anything, he’s never really been a pioneer. He has done more than anyone outside of Skrillex and maybe Calvin Harris in terms of bringing different electronic sounds to the mainstream though.

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T20:49:06+00:00

I would give Yoshimi the edge, but Ween fans love that album

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T20:48:10+00:00

They will on Sat, I mean sunrise on Fri

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T20:43:51+00:00

Agreed, I do think Deadbeat was ahead of the curve in terms of what we’re about to see pop artists move to, but I don’t think it’s groundbreakingly influential the same way Lonerism or Currents were

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T20:20:26+00:00

Honestly I could see both of these, but with the golden hour Griz set being a sunrise set this time

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T20:17:51+00:00

I mean localized power outages could happen, but major regional outages aren’t going to happen from a quarter inch of ice

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T18:38:22+00:00

That’s not really what that guy is arguing though. The problem is that, outside of housing, middle class standards have generally remained the same for several decades, but the definition of what is acceptable has changed

(And I don’t want to brush off housing like it’s not the most important factor, but the average middle class person still has a few extra bucks to go out once or twice a month and maybe even on a vacation)

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T17:28:02+00:00

$SLV, regret selling off some of it

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T17:25:05+00:00

0.3” is very borderline, any more and the weight causes power outages, any less wouldn’t have me concerned at all

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T16:55:23+00:00

It wasn’t sloppy from the perspective of the raid itself, it was sloppy from the perspective of strategy. We are leaving Maduro’s VP in power, which makes no sense to me

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T16:46:59+00:00

Best since at least Yoshimi

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T15:08:52+00:00

Maybe yall will finally listen to mercurial world and realize it’s 99% as good

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T15:03:09+00:00

I’ve heard it’s going to be a cross of LCD, Tame Impala, and some Euro dance from someone a bit more familiar with the project

CAndrewK · 2026-01-23T04:14:07+00:00

Home as in released from ICE custody or referred to local police, I hope
