What You Listening To? v, Some Cunt Didn't Bother to Include the Numerals Last Time

I'm going to ignore the admittedly-poor innuendo potential of 'hoop session', and reflect on the fact it makes me that little bit happier that I live in a world where chicks do hula hoop stuff to a JAMC soundtrack. This is most certainly a Good Thing. :)

Hah, cheers. And you probably could have spotted me doing it if you'd been walking down the appropriate road a few hours ago. I think I entertained some people at the bus stop opposite anyway. =D

And it would be really shit innuendo, so I'm glad you didn't bother.
 
The bus stop opposite? That narrows it down slightly, but it could still be a number of places.

I do sometimes wonder whether I'll bump into you somewhere, although I've only seen half your face, and any photos of me on here are pretty unrepresentative. So there's every chance we've passed.

Wish I'd been walking down said mystery-road though - it would've raised a smile. :)

Loved Syro - not breaking any new ground, but it's the album of the year so far. It could be a Drukqs II, for all the development in style that's gone on in the interim, but I'm not complaining. Having said that, I reckon it's got a lot more funk to it than Drukqs.

Oh and I don't think anyone seriously doubts the tuss=the twin. I thought it was beyond question.

I'd suggest there's a massive difference between Syro and Drukqs. Drukqs was - still is in many ways - properly experimental and breaking new ground every step of the way, Syro is kinda... "post-modern" (yeah, I hate that term too) in the sense that it takes current trends and plays with them - one moment it seems "serious" and the next it's blatent pisstake. It's very much a Dicky D album but not yet convinced it will last in the same way his previous albums (as opposed to EPs, side-projects and so on) have done. Will take further listening to be sure but none of his previous albums under his own name have required further listening to make it clear they are godly in the wider sense instead of just being very clever, very funky, very well put together, but... ground breaking? Dunno. Depends how much depth and complexity there actually is going on in there. I presume it exists cos he put his best-known monniker to it and must surely know that carries weight but so far "listenable" is faint praise at best considering what came before - especially given he's clearly still capable of breaking new ground. Why so Tussy? He doesn't claim that monniker whether we all presume it to be the case or not. There's weaseling involved any way you look at it and that doesn't sit so very well with me in all honesty.

Nah I know, I'll suggest something again at some point, maybe.

Anyway, don't you have your own meetup to organise with raas, Dan? :p
 
Oh yeah i forgot about that. are you still up for coming along, bring the poi spinning stuff, smack him around with it perhaps
 
It's all just fuckin' disco.

Nah it's not - Disco sucks, and the 'rediscovery' of it in recent years has done nothing but reinforce my mulleted hillbilly views on the matter.

I go by the theory that there are two (sometimes intersecting) but very distinct parallel lines in the development of dance music. They both grew out of New York in the mid - late 70's. On the one hand you've got the elitist, effete, Studio 54 route, which taken to its logical conclusion leads to abominations such as Prog House/minimal Techno etc.. On the other, you've got the street route: Funk>Electro>Bleeps n Bass>Hardcore>Jungle>Garage>Grime/Dubstep>Bass music ....and all the stuff that's.... edgy and fun. One is about posing and chinstroking, the other is about brocking out.

This is all BS, by the way, but I can't help seeing things this way (behold the mental gymnastics behind the rationalisation of my dislike for disco=D)

I agree with you more often than I don't but comparing Prog House with Minimal?!? 8o8o8o

Take that right back and wash your mouth out with really, really harsh soap right this minute :!

Although, to be fair, I'm so awash and at sea in the meaningless drosspit of subgenre distinctions that it's entirely possible your definition of *such and such* differs entirely from mine (which in turn differs entirely from nextman's and so on ad infinitum).

Shal I start holding my breath now, or six months down the line when it still hasn't happened? Huh? Huh? ;)

I think you noticed, but I don't write Aphex Twin off as 'disco' really. He's impossibly talented.

As for your BS theory, the reductionist (and realistic) summary is summat like: gay black men make music to fuck to on speed. The music gets popular outside said circle. Develops. The end.
 
The only connection between prog house and minimal is that they're two genres I (generally) dislike - though minimal has some cache whereas prog is widely regarded as a joke now (not so when I started raving - ugh).

The main reason I dislike the more chinstrokey aspects of Techno is that its puritan advocates tend to be the biggest bores going, banging on about Berlin and generally being dismissive of anything vaguely fun (see the RA forum). I can respect it for what it is, but it's comedown music IMO - and will precipitate a comedown if you're out.

Oh and obviously I was not taking your comment seriously, Sam, I just opportunistically seized on it as a segue into my Grand Unifying Theory. :D I would argue that your reductionist theory applies only to House/Disco though. Techno was never really a gay scene, nor was Electro, and they emerged in parallel.

Speaking of Electro:
