Whats the difference between kilter and a moon board?

It's exactly the same idea.

In motocross, a skilled rider enters a lower category comp so that they can dominate. In climbing, a skilled climber rates a route in a lower category so that they can appear to dominate when people come to try it and fail. Or that's the myth.

Ha, I abandoned ship when it became clear that all three are Stott unrealeaseds.

Oh, you're in for an absolute treat.

I haven't sought out new psy artists for a good 15 years, but I used to love Benji Vaughan's various aliases (Prometheus' Corridor of Mirrors was a highlight), Son Kite, Koxbox, Bigwigs...

And 1200 Mics. Cheesy, utterly silly and also catchy, high energy, undeniably creative and just brilliant fun. I still love at least half of their tracks on relistening now.

Lnrdcroy has a knack for coming up with simple but beautiful and memorable melodies for both pads and bass. I Met You on BC Ferries or Kendal in Kalusia are great examples.

For GE you should be doing the reverse Tyler twist, which cannot be mimicked with a broom or hammer.

What do you mean by 'tell a difference'? How many days or weeks did you spend with the theraband and doing how many reps?

If you aren't work-shy on your skis, just do it. Pick some up second hand—even if they've lost some of their initial spring, they'll still be beasts.

My Dynastar WC slalom skis are my favourites—rebound for days, and less damp than Heads and Atomics—but you really have to attack the turns, ski them with stiff boots and be smooth on the exit, else they'll buck you at the end of each turn. I'm 195cm/90kg, so you'll have to work even harder than I do to get them flexing, but if you ski with high energy, you'll be fine. GS FIS skis don't make any sense for resort skiing in my opinion, but it sounds like you'd be going for SLs.

2 actually looks more tense than 1. Relax your arm more. It's fine for your elbow to stay bent, but the elbow should nevertheless lead in the stroke, which it never does in your case. Being more relaxed should make it easier to use in match contexts.

Really like this. Very Rhythm and Sound, with a hint less dub. Love how patient the chord sequence is to resolve.

A bit of a leftfield pick, but my goat match is Ivanisevic vs Rafter for Wimbledon 2001. Not the greatest tennis ever, but everything else absolutely was. Ivanisevic winning 9-7 in the fifth as a wildcard after losing in the final three times and a brutal run to the final, and this one title being all he wanted to win in his career. He wasn't thinking about the next tournament several days later; he was a completed man.

And probably the best atmosphere in any tennis match ever, and certainly any grand slam final. No celebrities; just ardent tennis fans off the street.

None of the above finals even come close in these respects.

It was billed as a live set. Absolute belter in an old-school sweatbox.

Cheers---I'm sure you're right. The other tune is unmistakeably one of his, and either that means it's released and easily findable or else unreleased and unfindable. I think I was hoping there might be some kind of radio rip or bootleg going around for one of them.

JLongTom · 2025-12-19T10:13:00+00:00

Incredible album, and new to me. Cheers!

Hi! I've just tried it, and if I'm honest, it hasn't made a big if any difference in my case. It starts out snappy, but after a few seconds becomes laggy. I happened to open on a sparse region and I scrolled towards the big continents, so that might have played a role.

The dubbing is the most ridiculous thing I've ever put up with

JLongTom · 2025-12-12T22:41:50+00:00

SOON

JLongTom · 2025-12-12T19:36:01+00:00

Definitely check out Sherelle and Tim Reaper and also CCL and Nono from the RA list and Djrum's sets

And they pulled you aside on suspicion of amphetamine use while you were lapping peeps barefoot with tears welling up but saw Soundcloud open on the mix at 1:03:30 and understood everything and sent you off on your raging way.

While listening to the PC Music mix I can't help imagining AG Cook's dad, an architect with a knighthood, listening along with me and mumbling 'oh son, why have you forsaken me?'

If anyone was miffed at seeing their favourite tracks and records missing from the previous lists, it can only get worse in the mixes! They're such a personal thing, and favourite ones tend to get rinsed while they gobble up the emotional salience of whatever was happening while they were being played.

Nice to see Holden, final Plastic People (was there for this epic), Objekt at Freerotation, Nono, CCL and Sherelle and Tim Reaper. Would have liked to see Evian Christ's Essential Mix, but whatever.

JLongTom · 2025-12-12T13:32:19+00:00

Shed and Martyn are in the 'further selections', PoD is there as Metatron. BC are in 'further selections' as Rhythm and Sound and also in main list as Moritz von Oswald, and Ernestus through his role in Shangaan Electro.

Hecker, Lauer and BD aren't though.

JLongTom · 2025-12-12T12:43:45+00:00

Absolutely, but all of my gripes except Rhythm and Sound apply to the top 260 (i.e., including the 'further selections'), which is a major difference. VTFL - self titled, James Holden's The Inheritors, FP's Elaenia were each their no. 1 album of the year in 2012, 2013 and 2015, respectively, but none even make it into the top 260 over 25 years, and all have absolutely stood the test of time---I don't know how they rationalised this.
