john you son of a bitch stop writing

whatever i dont care. im in the mood and i aint always. this is fun. keep the fun up. narrate your life. who said that? no clue but i like it. as long as you arent pretentious or derivitave or both. which i may be. i cant judge. can i not judge myself? whatever i dont feel like dealing with those questions. im sober.

newayz big radiohead binge tonight, so much so that i might play it on through sunrise, and cue no surprises as the sun comes up. in fact, that sounds like a damn good idea. i cant wait to stay up into the middle of the night again with people. that junk is fun.

i want to draw a picture of burial's 'ghost hardware' of how the samples ascend and descend. especially the christina aguilera one. thatd be an incredible painting i think, at least what im visualizing. like a curvalinear rothko. thats blowing my mind right now. which i didnt recognize until like a week ago, after listening to this album more than any other over the last two years. at least at night. i make a distinction. what i listen to at night i rarely listen to during the day. same goes for film and art and that. at night i want ot be like straight out of a dystopian semi-future. during the day i want to build a house and read books. its not that simple, but thats the gist.


gonna rate some urban stuff now. cause i wanna.


dont know whether to hate or respect. its funny. dubstep doesnt have to be serious right? its just better when it is. always.


ok like i completely hate rusko. hes bringing the four on the floor beat into dubstep and calling it dubstep. which totally makes it not dubstep. makes it more like grime or DnB, but my god its impossible to know nowadays. anyway, this has amber coffman of dirty proj's on sampled. and its not a bad track, good to dance to efficiently, which is usually impossible in dubstep. but dont call this dubstep for my sake. its just not dubstep. its rusko being good at merging a few styles and making it sound his own. diplo produced this, and diplo makes clubs good (look at hsi remixes and remember hes solely responsible for the masses knowing about M.I.A., for which we should be thankful) but listen to/watch this one...



the guy is an idiot. a totally mongoloid. 1-like 80% of a dj is how you look. so that means 80% of anything rusko does is ridiculous before he even drops his first beat. and seriously thats wayyyy too much cocaine. and if this is dubstep? well how can it be? this is probably more 1990s chicago house at times, that then jumps into early 2000s uk garage. it sounds ok. just not dubstep by any stretch. i mean dont get me wrong, i love hearing this stuff in a club.




fly lo is great. hes also american, which is rare for thi stuff. honoring the late hip hop pioneer/awesome guy j dilla.

benga is pretty cool. i like him. makes stuff thats pretty honest dubstep that you can still dance to. 26 basslines isnt actually false advertising, theyre all there. it doesnt feel like too many either. i hate when everybody thinks they have to do those 8 bit noises to establish i high end. dont do it. this isnt crystal castles.


the bug. jungle+dubstep. i eat it up. its obnoxious, invasive, parasitic and freaking great. saw kevin martin doing another project in ldn last year.



this one in fact. effing great stuff.


the guys that started it all. this song should have been at the top of this blog. because at :28 when the bass drops youre like. holy shit. then when spaceape comes in at 1:30 its just sewer bliss. its like seeing the beginning of the universe. seriously. or doctor who doing somethign epique. freaking great. more than that. sonic genius, kode 9. makes me want to be on the south bank every waking moment.


this was just great. not a fan of danger mouse, he does a few things ok. but cee lo's voice is just great. and hes a funny looking man.


the fade on this is what makes it. zombie march.



grimeee. love this man. anthemic.


so i havent talked about skream. i like skream. especially remixes. this man can make a dubstep remix of any song in about a minute it seems like. seriously he does everything. hundreds. he does his own stuff too but its shite. this one is so good.




listening to something from 15 years ago and having it sound like something that hasnt yet happened is an incredible feeling. beth gibbons happens to be cool as all get out. dragging while singing this is increible. geoff barrow's stack and rig is probably worth over $50,000, conservative estimate. theres something great about an acoustic guitar and honesty. theres also something cool about a rig like that and what it can do. this would be a great place to end this. but i dont want to stop.


sun ra is a good not stopping place. fascinating guy, but i cant let myself start on a jazz track, otherwise this will last three days or 8 minutes in this case. sun ra is great. makes you feel music. not just hear it or think it or whatever. he ups the relevance. ill leave it there.


yeah ok. its just interesting. i dont like all the hooks. and the structure of the song. too much pop. but the performance art she does is so detailed and thought out i gotta respect that. and lets face it, shes better than britney and them ever were in like every way. and as my friend always points out, shes got a damn rilke quote on her arm. so shes got to be on my side.



alright last one. pinnacle of hip hop. screams ambition.
