Gibbo said:I spent that last few years immersing myself in all the great European/American tomes from the last couple of hundred years that I never made time to read before If you've been deep into literary/novelistic stuff moreso than keeping up …

Gibbo said:any books I could check out? Well, I mean, David Toop has a couple, and even something as simple as searching Amazon.com for "sample culture" nets several more. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's also worth remembering …

I'm not a UK head, but I am a semi-frequent used-bookstore head, and I have seen many, many volumes that cover very much the same territory you're talking about. Some of them are by academic dudes who are trying to get all hip-hop, and some are by h…

Horseleech said:I like some aspects of this, but could never really get into it. For a long time I gave it a pass based solely on its atmosphere and its iconography, but a couple years ago I listened to it for the first time in a long time and cou…

I can't really speak on dude's psych-type material, but I've listened to most of that Caramel record (because it seemed devoted and awkward, like something I might like), and though it's got its moments musically speaking, tonally it's awfully ind…

Chocolate Factory minus Black Panties times Double Up equals "Be My Number 2" WE'RE FEELIN' IT!

bassie said:absolutely no heat Yes. And the importance of this lack cannot be overstated. It makes her attempts at sexy/pwoarty music stiff and overly aerobic, keeps her slow-jam/torch-song material talent-show shallow, and renders her icy/queen-b…

I'm not sure I understand the fear, but anyway. Think a lot about how your own mind and taste works, how you make the particular connections that you make. This will help make you less reliant on external forces for inspiration, and less like…

In addition to a Southeast Asian bootleg of A-Tom-ic Jones where some seriously wasted color separation has left the cover subject looking like a tuxedoed Oscar statuette that's made entirely of peanut butter taffy and howling in open-mawed anguish …

Saucy Tweenbal said:I agree that Small Talk definitely isnt as good, but that's almost why I choose it. Since Fresh is so good, it leaves you wanting more. So when I continue onto Small Talk, it fills my jones and let's me down easy. …

Oh, man--such a serious record for me. Catch me on the right day and I'll talk your leg off about this one. As a continuation of the more straightforward aspects of that record's particular warmth, Inspiration Information and Small Talk are p…

Records I really enjoyed this year: - Eric Copeland???s Joke In The Hole. The first time I listened to this straight-ahead, I kinda wrote it off as another pasty noisenik???s well-meaning stab at a Donuts-style sketch collection. But then I p…

DJ_Enki said:DocMcCoy said:Simon Reynolds Mini-Me beardstrokers over at The Wire who thought "juxtaposition" and "recontextualisation" were the most exciting aspects of sampling. Ugh. That's pretty much what Spooky's own writing was like as w…

LaserWolf said:James, yes, meant to say Fancy. Well, I mean, "Ode To Billie Joe" is, in its way, a tragic childhood song, too. I read some interview with Bobbie Gentry where she called it something like "a study in unconscious cruelty," abo…

LaserWolf said:Ode To Billie Joe b/w "Fancy" Bobbie was on it, man. "Luka," of course; Company Flow's "Last Good Sleep"; Max Romeo's "Evening News"; I guess I should have some regional bias toward Lou Rawlses's "Dead End Street,"…

I'LL CLOTHESLINE CHARLIE WILSON. FUCK THAT SOFT SHIT.

I GOT MY GIRL A BAGUETTE PURSE AIRBRUSHED TO LOOK LIKE MY NUTSACK, SO WHEN HEADS SEE ME HOLDING THAT SHIT OUTSIDE THE DRESSING ROOMS AT ROSS, THEY ASSUME IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, BUSINESS AS USUAL.

I HAD A DREAM THAT I WAS SMOKING SHERM WITH TIM ALLEN.

I ACCIDENTALLY BRUSHED AGAINST A MAKE-UP DISPLAY AT WALGREENS, SO I WENT HOME AND BURNED MY SHIRT WHILE LISTENING TO KOOL G RAP AND PUTTING IN WORK ON THE HEAVY BAG.

HarveyCanal said:Women seem to like these half-men types nowadays. I'll wait it out in the garage. Sooner or later, they'll need something to be repaired. RIGHT? I ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO SAY "NO HOMO" WHENEVER I ORDER A HOT DOG.

Side One of Lenny White's Venusian Summer has a distant and endless fusion loop in the run-out. It's possible there's also one at the end of Side Two, but I don't know that I've ever made it that far.

batmon said:Janet Jackson came to mind for me. Quelle suprise. I'd be semi-interested in an informed comparison of Beyonce v. Janet. My initial (non-informed) instinct was to give Janet extra points for doing it without a Jay-level male fig…
