boycott crystal castles

Boycotting bands is a great idea!

Just not for reasons as weak as this.

What, i wonder, makes the 8-bit community so sacred that they should somehow be treated as "off-limits" to sampling, but the same people who get in a tizzy about this don't bat an eyelid when artists lift uncredited from James Brown, Kraftwerk or The Art of Noise? Or The Clash or Bob Marley or Yes or or or etc. etc. etc. (Which happens all the time, appropriation and theft basically being the solid fuels that keep art powered.)

There's well-done theft and badly-done…

From HipHopDX.com:

On stage in Minneapolis, Minnesota Sunday evening, Aesop Rock announced that emcee Camu Tao had died after a three year bout with cancer. The Columbus, Ohio native born Tero Smith, was just less than two weeks away from his 31st birthday.

Camu Tao rose to fame with the MHz crew, which also consisted of producer RJD2, emcees Copywrite and Jakki Tha Motamouth, plus DJ Przm, who passed away just under a year ago as well. As the crew ascended to the ranks of the underground Hip Hop community through releases on Fondle 'Em…

Aura Navarre (played: don't look further for the devil)
A stern-sounding lady sings seemingly at random over music played seemingly only slightly less at random.
from “Music Is My Girlfriend“

Miami Scissors (played: iamnokia)
Their bio pegs them as "noise-rock/post-rock/experimental punk" but to these ears they sound like collegiate emo with maybe a slight nod towards the end of Britpop.
from “Fugazi“

Ben's Imaginary Band (played: The Last Living Man)
Quite pleasant jangly acoustic guitar-y indie with perhaps slightly weedy vocals which nonetheless probably directly appeal to the kind of doe-eyed indie girls that the band bio…

In my semi-official capacity as spokesman for obtuse multi-regional noise/"drowning jazz" collective desert island dicks, i am pleased to announce that they're pleased to announce the release of a new album by them, entitled Stretch Marks.

From the Stretch Marks communiqué:

Following the strict constraints of jazz structures on Bring Me the Head of Miles Davis… the Desert Island Dicks are pleased to reverse the polarity with their latest album, Stretch Marks, which applies the jazz tenets of breathing space and free improvisation to a mode more traditionally defined by strict methodical structuring, that of the…

Bobby Digital's list of superpowers includes smoking lots of weed, shooting Glocks, disrespecting women, smacking women in the face with his penis, and talking on a cellphone. Sort of like an x-rated Blankman.

yeh, mikeroach113, go ahead and ban me from your shoutbox.

THAT certainly doesn't look make you look like an autistic toolbag without the courage of his convictions or the balls to argue his point. nooo.

By the way. here is an etymology of the word "Spam", which should reveal to you that at no point has the word ever stood for (a) "stupid pointless annoying messages"; or (b) anything else. that's because it's not an acronym, it's a portmanteau.

As you can see here, that is a "joke" meaning assigned after the fact. i've put…

i figured since we were now a month away from 2007, now would be a suitable time to drop my reflections on a year's music on the people.

Warning: may contain opinions.
"Anti-bashing" pussies might find it more productive to go somewhere else.

• El-P – I'll Sleep When You're Dead: The most deliberate, forceful, sincere and fucking heartfelt record of the year, when you listen you begin to understand the five-year gap between this and Fantastic Damage.

This one's generally of relevance to the UK-heads among us, but may also be of some interest to, for instance, Americans who've been wondering where The Old Country keeps our very own supply of Rush Limbaughs and Bill O'Reillys.

Hurray, once again Jeremy Clarkson's sharing his totally worthwhile opinions on matters he knows loads about.

In case there's anyone still wondering why i hate this stuffed-up toolbag fuck, one glimpse of this ignorant nonsensical spew should be enough to let you know.

And no, he's not excused cuz he acts like a walking edition…

Combine the violin mastery of Nigel Kennedy, the voice of some alien Siouxsie/Reznor hybrid, and the looks of a post-apocalyptic Marie Antoinette, and what do you get?
