    Youngsta- Live at Forward mix CD

    Yeah, its a good dubstep mix/comp. A track-listing would be boss...

    Prog.

    Saw Van der Graff in '78, I think, and they played 'Louie Louie'... Are they Prog? I've never quite been convinced.

    Who killed Indie?

    Ha! Dave would've dug that. His big influence were Edwyn Collins and Josef K...so you can draw a firm line from Postcard Records thru to C86. Andy Gill of G04 was a huge influence too...If Dave was still around he'd be well pissed off about them reforming. Ah, yeah, the "shoegazers" like Slow...

    Who killed Indie?

    Yeah, that's very true of quite a few US bands (was there ever a 'fey' US scene equivalent to UK C86?)...Black Dice and Sunburned Hand have both owned up to coming from a Hardcore/Heavy Noise background...not a particularly obvious influence if you haven't heard their really early stuff.

    Who killed Indie?

    Nah, wrong guy....Tim's brother was Dave (see above)

    Who killed Indie?

    Tim G is the (much) younger brother of Chesterfields mainman the late great Dave Goldsworthy - big up Yeovil C86 Cru! Tim was raised on a diet of C86 music at gigs round Yeovil & Sherborne indie scene via his big bro' ... Dave also had a love of old school hip-hop, so that may have also been an...

    can reissues

    Yeah, I'm with Jim on that one. Cutler is one heckuva an underrated drummer/percussionist. Jaki's the king, though, but the drummer from Circle is no slouch either...very post-Jaki rhythmic-pulse style. And Dinger, of course: Avant-Glam. And Klaus Schultz in Ash Ra Tempel...not incredibly...

    Patrick Cowley

    Yeah, Cowley's "Mind Warp and "Magaton Man" are genius. And what about UK Hi-NRG producer Ian Levine...surely the British Cheesemeister Supreme; remixed PSB, etc

    rephlex halloween party

    I reaaaaaally wanted to go to this. Live down in somerset, but stuck on child care duties this weekend (wife's a nurse), so settled for AMT gig on Thurs instead. If anyone goes, could they post a review/give us a flava of what it was like? I know" Bashment" is preferred to Dubstep/Fwd round...

    K-punk stones Joss

    Hate the typography on her CD: is it the same/similar font to The Stooges. I keep subliminally seeing her LP in shops out of the corner of my eye and stop, thinking it's something good. Sunbliminal typography/design: damn those bastards to hell...

    This years The Books/Animal Collective/Junior Boys?

    Circle! (For Finnish post-Kraut thrills.) But they've only been going for nearly 13 years...so, er, hardly new. As for (eek) "electronica", well, Grime just makes most things sound a bit like the electronic equivalent of Dadrock.

    what did you listen to today?

    "Empire/Dragon" by Circle for about the fifth bloody day inna row...must put something else on the deck. In the car: various freebie CDs from the daily mirror, etc. My daughter's favourite (and mine): "Video killed the radio star" by Buggles. Honourable mentions: "99 Red Balloons", "The Final...

    Are We The Music Makers?

    Fucked-up abstract electronic-based shit as KId Shirt, sometimes with beats, sometimes not; also use owl- and train-whistles, childrens' toys, latin percussion, megaphones, anything that a non-musician can 'play'...moving away from pure electronics; it got boring. Played (as non-musician) in...

    UKG vs UKG vs UKG

    I got One Way on Vinyl and it's split into three twelves, so that it's broken down into nice, bite-sized, easily-digestable chunks. Yeah, I reckon I'd struggle listening to the CD version all the way thru...that's one of the things I never much liked about the CD format, there's no overtly...
