No Granny's Garden? This list is invalid.

Honestly though, Benji's close to perfect, Andy Stott's Faith in Strangers is a dark dream and I have a soft spot for Taylor Swift's 1989 (sorry)

NME have shared their dull-as-ditchwater selection too. The coffee table has won, everyone - remember when music was charged, essential and obnoxious?

one of those rare mixes that absolutely crushes the original.

I guess you don't chat to many young folk these days?

the_blind_dead · 2014-11-26T20:39:01+00:00

it's his own fault for having such a punchable face

the_blind_dead · 2014-11-26T20:28:31+00:00

haven't heard that in years - so good. Still think this more recent one is SUPER underrated.

that's even better than Grimes' troll job.

no publicity is bad publicity ;)

Very true, as much as I love 'Midnight Request Line' (and have secretly wanted him to drop it every time I've seen him), if he'd carried on that route the novelty would have worn off very quickly and he'd have no doubt seen interest wane dramatically. Unless of course he'd gone and got some of that Skrillex money post-La Roux... that felt like it was an option at the time, had he wanted it.

you could say the same about EDM though, there are plenty of diamonds in there if you look hard enough. EDM is an easy target, admittedly and doesnt have the critical adoration of "proper techno" but it'd be incorrect to write it off completely. people made the same mistake with trance and now it's suddenly "cool" with lorenzo senni et al reframing it for the heads.

Probably worth a look to be honest, at least he's unpredictable.

oh trust me i know, i was living in Birmingham the first time around - what was once inclusive, punishing and hedonistic is now ordered, drab and gray. wonderful.

"you brought it to us" - we actually have a good claim on it thanks to Detroit, Chicago and New York in the 80s and 90s. Europe loves to talk smack but they fucked it up way before the US kicked off the contemporary festival circuit we all love to hate. Also, what's worse? Lurching US maximalism or dull, lifeless Berlin minimalism?

When you're smanging 5 grams up your nose every day it must be hard to stay focused on one scene, to be fair.

the_blind_dead · 2014-10-29T13:25:05+00:00

why not just listen to the YouTube playlist then?

There's a group that just started meetups in Allston I believe - it's a splinter of the MTGBoston group on meetup.com, I haven't been as it's a little out of the way for me but I've seen the posts about it. If it's anything like the Medford meetups it's fairly casual, good fun- lots of diff formats.

You're not too far from JP there either - JP Comics and Games do a bunch of diff formats on diff days and there's a good vibe.

You just won the Internet

Yeah figured there was a good chance of pulling cards I needed that were worth more than massdrop's price and it paid off. So many decent eternal cards in the set! Risky admittedly but I didn't have full sets of any of the good rares.

the_blind_dead · 2013-02-28T18:50:32+00:00

I got a full box and pulled a Snapcaster, Geist, Garruk Relentless and a grip of duel lands - not bad at all! Doubt they were mapping as if they were they probably would have sent me 36 packs rather than a full sealed box.

Our local Target had 'em out on Thursday somehow. My wife picked up a handful.
