The Sway interview is a modern classic. So quotable. "And it ain't no Ralph though".

DJ Spooky truly is the definition of a poser. Hiding behind academic bullshit terminology (people who know what they're talking about can also express things clearly)and creating a ridiculous genre name like "Illbient" (isn't it the job of journalists to invent silly labels?). Everything in an...

Otis_Funkmeyer said:The material, inspired performances, raw aesthetic, and stripped-down arrangements are right up my alley. It doesn't get much better. Agreed. Can't believe people deny the awesomeness of EoU :nagl:

Okem said:Dude has some valid points, especially about the advancements in technology lowering the bar for who gets to be a DJ and all that, but some of the rest of it came across as the familiar grumblings of an older man in a young mans game. Sounded like he'd once made some very...

Grandfather said:Affleck is supposed to help write the script and give some creative direction. He has been doing a good job with his last few movies so I think the movie will be good. That's good to know. Man of Steel didn't do it for me - there was a good movie in there somwhere...

Mjukis said:Cool idea, execution is kinda lacking though. I've downsized my collection a lot, and I actually kind of like the idea of deciding how much space you want it to take up, and then getting rid of the stuff you can't fit in there (or putting it in storage). But this looks a bit too...

I discovered Pavement later, and still to this day I haven't heard Slanted & Enchanted. Wowee Zowee was the first album I heard, but my favourite is Brighten the Corners. I love the combination of Pavements weird/lofi touches and the clean production. And it's just full of great songs...

Gibbo said:Turns out there's a follow up to 2003's 'Jeux De Ficelles' coming out in July. I loved the debut and am looking forward to this. Any thoughts? https://numerogroup.wordpress.com/tag/express-rising/ Really hype, in a mellow way of course, for this album. Love the first one.

batmon said:Okem said:Yer, I don't think it's some contrived publicity thing, he is just that crazy. Yeah, he's just that crazy near the June 18th release date. :suspect: Did the NYTimes call him or did his people call the Times to discuss the upcoming album...

Fred_Garvin said:Kanye West said:I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus. Now if only someone would get him and Charlie Sheen into the same room, and hit the Record button. That would be a true milestone in entertainment. :endorse:

I love that Kanyes vision of his place in history is something like this: Henry Ford Walt Disney Steve Jobs Kanye West A friend saw him do an impromptu show at some art thing in London the other day. Said it was pretty painful, he was giving these speeches about how...

Sweet_Premium said:Mjukis said: I was at one of the nights of small soul weekender this past saturday, they're playing disco, crossover, some latin soul and so on. I don't think that many soul collectors are strictly about the classic amphetamine northern stuff anymore. Purists are generally...

This classic Keb Darge interview (posted on here before) puts the scene into perspective I think. In some ways, it was punk before punk. And Keb n them were basically breaking at the start of breaking as well, unbeknownst to them. Keb Darge interview I was at one of the nights of small...

SP 1200 said:Has anyone see them play live recently? I'm picking up a bunch of tickets for me and a few friends who will be treating it as a quasi religious experience I'm sure. Saw them not so recently but maybe 4 years ago, or something like that. It was great.
