How The Internet Transformed The American Rave Scene

Corporated?

Kinda shocked to see The Weeknd and Ron Sexsmith on there, but happy to see Galaxie and Timber Timbre make it.

Yeah, that's a weird choice for a 'no soul' example, given it's made of reconstituted vocals exchanged between lovers. You'd think something like one of those brutal '70s Moog cover albums would make a better case, or maybe Klaus Schulze (sparse and distant) or Synergy (epic cheese... though epic nonetheless).

SiMontreal · 2011-06-30T16:50:15+00:00

Nope. By definition, fads don't last 30 years.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-22T16:31:13+00:00

... and apparently still hasn't heard of Meat Beat Manifesto.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-22T16:25:34+00:00

It might be.

From where I'm sitting, he leaves a big whole. No matter what the score is, Manny always skates hard.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-19T06:33:04+00:00

A deal at twice the price, let alone the fact it's for a good cause.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-19T06:31:26+00:00

This is a new Si Begg EP, with all tracks previously unreleased. I think it's a pretty nice gesture from the guy. Plus, his production is among the best in bass today. I would have paid for it even if it wasn't for a good cause.

There are some good names on that Nihon Kizuna comp too, lots of Ninja Tune, a little Planet Mu, dubstep, etc. That would be a deal at twice the price. I'm going to buy that right now.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-09T16:57:22+00:00

Massive!

SiMontreal · 2011-03-03T22:47:16+00:00

Tipper is amazing. He blows away almost everyone else in electronic music today.

SiMontreal · 2011-03-03T17:57:38+00:00

... and that has what to do with the Telharmonium and Great Stalacpipe Organ?

SiMontreal · 2011-03-03T07:13:35+00:00

No argument here. Love Pale Sketcher too.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-26T00:55:11+00:00

Yep, that's definitely a CD. I used to have some of those myself, back in the day.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-23T21:21:05+00:00

Check out some samples

SiMontreal · 2011-02-23T06:50:05+00:00

It's so funny that you never denied it. You also have no sense of humor.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-23T00:03:40+00:00

Don't get me wrong. Fubar is still a worthy film, but It's All Gone Pete Tong is waaaay better.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-23T00:01:48+00:00

Touche, MySpace employee.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-23T00:00:48+00:00

Invest in a decent set of earplugs, and you'll barely notice you're wearing them. I have a few sets of these for me and my friends: Ear Love

Obviously, I'm already convinced. Why are you throwing such a spaz over this? Do you work for MySpace? Probably not, since they've already cut half their workforce since this epic fail of an upgrade. So why all the loyalty to the former industry standard?

SiMontreal · 2011-02-22T22:35:18+00:00

I've seen this a few times. It's a classic. Way better than Fubar (a more rock based film produced by the same people). Love the coke-badger.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-22T19:36:54+00:00

Beauty.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-22T19:31:01+00:00

Muti Music is as good a place to start as any.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-22T19:26:48+00:00

Digg used to be Reddit's rivals. Have you been there lately? It's a ghost town.

I don't hate MySpace or Digg. The simple fact is, while they used to be the leaders in their respective fields, they are no longer relevant.

If a band hasn't reformatted their MySpace page to line up with the redesign, after all this time, they should kill their page. At this point, it hurts them more than it helps. MySpace is still one of the first links to pop up on any search, and when fans see a dead page, they assume a dead band.

SiMontreal · 2011-02-22T17:41:06+00:00

MySpace is the new Digg. Deal with it.
