He reminds me of Shuggie Otis... the voice and the drums... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/avw50zY4fxc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Confession: I haven't read all the posts and this is such a blindingly obvious...

Coil sampled a King Of Woolworths loop (from Montparnasse) on their Wraiths and Strays songs... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/63W2Hq4ivxw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe title="YouTube video player"...

maybe for a different thread but... can you tell what you'd have liked as a kid? I'm not sure i can... i have some idea of what I was like but I'm not convinced it's particularly accurate... in fact, i think i liked many more things than i can now remember... i've got a suspicion i only remember...

The Green Knowe books.... creepy for no clear reason A Castle of Bone... something very odd about this that I can't remember... it's the 'A' in the title that throws me... 'The' I could have coped with... best freaky cupboard story ever... fuck you Narnia... Sponge, X and Y - a surreal tale of...

I think it's a mistake to compare and contrast most blogs to the print media... I don't know about other people but i'm sure i don't put the effort into my writing that paid writers do, only rarely check or draft a post before pressing send... i don't see it as an alternative to the print...

Glastonberries well, i missed the tickets for this year, despite being more or less a local - slept in and then lost out - so i'm gonna miss it this year but I've been maybe 15 times and what differentiates it from other Festivals I've been to is that it's hard work in every way, even if it's...

...i'll be sad to see 6music go... it's the only radio I listen to (No, I can't be arsed to listen online to fucking Resonance etc )... it reminds me of indie disco circa 1990 (in a good and bad way) and has the kind of bumbling, semi-literate, middle-brow, enthusiasm / love that's missing from...

after lots of mentions by other people i like (notably Coil) I've started having a dig and it is genuinely unnerving stuff... especially on headphones.... the kind of music that makes the surroundings hum...

have to be The Man Machine... Neon Lights is one of the songs my head sings to itself to keep me calm in times of,er, sturm and drang....and also because this really sluty girl i knew at school would play The Model while showing me her knickers... then maybe Trans Europe Express, just because...

would be great, except that my knees have gone ; the true legacy of rave - can't believe anyone worried about the psychological effect of raving... still, i could probably still wave my arms around for Orbital...

Good point, well made. I guess I felt a little cheated at illbient.... The Wire made it much more exciting than I could ever hear.... they didn't really try with dubstep though had a little go at Grime before losing interest..... absolutely agree with 1 in 50 in D n B but a slightly better...

thought illbient is a term that better serves the hiphopping of Moon Wiring Club etc http://loki23.blogspot.com/2009/03/moon-wiring-club.html

mmm... loads of dull thuds in there... Was more or less constantly disappointed by DJ Spooky, who seemed to talk a much better game in theory than practice (cf: a LOT of mid-90s USA ambient/hip hop crossovers)

this would be a great album title... maybe for a 90s compilation of bands that began then and are still going now.... Motown Junk could be on there, some of the early Blur songs (that one with the girl on the hippo), Autechre...
