    You know, after like 13 years of his bangers, I found myself with blue balls on this record. It's really nice from a John Cage/modern classical perspective but it turns out I really need Freddie Gibbs saying the n word through a 1:0 delay and a footwork-jungle breakbeat to really feel complete. I think he scans the forums so I don't wanna trash him. Posthumous shoutout to Salvatorin for the Machinedrum quote that went something like "Travis is the type to be at an LA industry party and say 'sorry guys, gotta dip' and then read the BOC subforum at home"  ??

    You forgot about the coked-out broads twisting his 'stache, and everyone going "aw man cya machinedrum" Should be in the watmm post hall of fame imo

    Love u Travis

    Just wanna leave this here, love Ronny and yeah so many stupid bug-features with our money systems here.  The wife and I lived & worked in Dublin for 2 years and it was ridiculous how simple taxes, health care and so much else was compared to the US.

    Income taxes are the fucking worst too.  I hate that in modern 'merica there are all of these systems that are so fundamentally and blatantly broken (tax "code," electoral college, term limits, health care, student loan protections, corporate citizenship, etc. etc. etc.).  But we can't go fix them that b/c it would infringe on the vested mega-interests buttering their bread on the status quo (and also their freedom to hoard more bread and butter).

    have submitted links and done all the things to get the streaming services to figure out this guy isn't me and all the music by anyone who uses ignatius as a moniker isn't the same person. lols. hopefully they get it sorted out sooner or later. there's also an Indian group or person who makes music that ends up in Bollywood movies. it's all kinds of fascinating but annoying.. even after setting up my artist page etc i can't pick/choose which releases are linked to my page. have to go thru some process so their 'team' can look into it.

  4. I member that day when they awarded both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups hosts, and and thinking damn, this is some next-level openly corrupt-ass shit, even for FIFA.

    Gonna try to stick to principle and keep my patronage 0 and viewing minimal (it will probably be unavoidable at points but w/e).  Worry not comrades since Alan Partridge will always have us covered for World Cup '94!

    where else would you hear squarepusher, outkast, black flag, aretha franklin and basinski back to back?

    Coldcut Solid Steel (the broadest beats)!  I realize it is (was?) a radio show and not a station per say but the depth and breadth of guests djs and styles over the years is just this.  I've got a GBs worth of downloaded/streamripped shows stretching back to the oughts, like books on a shelf that you've read but mostly forgot bud don't mind because which one you pick up is like a new adventure you know will be great.

    I really enjoy cliqhop. I've discovered lots of good music there.

    I'm impressed these shows still exist.  I member listening to them on Winamp circa Y2K.  Monkeyradio still seems to exist too which is wild, I owe he/them a lot of credit for exposing me to a lot of great electronica then at a time when there weren't many other ways to tap in.  Even better it opened my mind/ears to the idea that there are worlds of music ever further out to explore, and just how limited a the music available to a kid growing up in 1990s suburbia was.

    Why has no one told me about this before? I've watched it three times already...

     

    Joe Pera is a treasure, I need to fit more of this into my life!

    This guy's become quite popular for his informed dry-humor takes.  This was a good one:

    I kind of get where you're coming from but I challenge you to literally do that and come up with something that's as good as his album tracks. I think there's likely an awful lot more going on and it's all modulated.

    There was that interview with him (IIRC over darts at the pub) where they discussed the perception that what he does is easy, since on the surface :dadjoke: it appears reducible to a straightforward process of "take 78 rpm ballroom sample" then do x, do y, etc...  and he basically said the same thing, that if the critics/haters think so, they're welcome to try it themselves.  I'm miles from the biggest Caretaker enthusiast here but I can appreciate the depth in his work.  (for contrast I tend to think disintegration loops is overlauded poseur wank)

    Agreed. Just reminded me of some of the more generic actress stuff. I love actress so that's saying something. Not hating. I love this guys other stuff. Ah well. Evolution of sound innit.

    Haha, I'm right here with ya. Actress is one of my faves also but the more recent-ish stuff is hit or miss, and tbqh you could play me tracks from his and Andy Stott's latest and I'd have trouble guessing which it's from.  At this point it's like this predictable pattern at where the machine becomes self-aware, the weight of expectation that comes with burgeoning recognition, etc. which too often ends up with the artist either going deep conceptual or feeling the need to taking their sound in some direction for it's own sake.
