right, something more familiar for Gus based on the tags. You must take this one very, very seriously.

Super sibilant throughout—not just the consonants and alliteration, but the way they match the snare, the way the flow just keeps going unrelenting, river-like. Perfect. Then when blue-shirt comes in mid-way though he bombs it, the voice is all wrong, too low, not sliding or swishing but thunking, all wrong.

Something maybe about the emotions this rock music (I really mean earnest, slightly proggy rock by Midwesterners in jumpers) allows you to channel

Emotions that would be mercilessly repressed in fair Englande

actually rockabilly is huge in london amongst old rotters, which about says it all. It has to go straight to the jugular or it doesn't count. none of that Steelydan nonsense!

I try to get the forum into glitchcore, into Caroline Polachek, into B O D E G A try to keep them up with what's happening in youth culture, they don't care, complete gramps, can't get with it

glitchcore is just bastardised Autechre, and you know it.

 

[luka]

he doesnt know it. he hasnt listned to the entire history of recorded music. only you have done that

 

[luka]

One thing I am interested in with Gus' taste is this aversion to wrong, like music has to be this immaculate product. I find it curiously bourgeois, but even the actual bourgeoisie are quick to disown this sense of totalitarian completeness, hence their obsession with hipster chic and poverty porn.
