Or at least of an album released all at once. Obviously iTunes, and song-by-song downloading are the main culprits, but the seeds...

    Canadia... what is wrong with you people?

    First of all, your cigarettes cost more than Chicago, and thats an accomplishment. Second, your alcohol costs 5 times as much. It was like $30 or something for a case of Pabst! Anyway, this is about music. I went to the WEMF a bit ago, my first time. It stands for "World Electronic Music...

    Imagining the 10th Dimension

    Interesting video explaining how to try and understand the 10th dimension and those underneath it. Kinda lost me at some point. I mean, it makes sense, but its hard to keep everything underneath it in its place while tying to grasp each new dimension. Still informative and gets me excited for...

    Did Phil Spector do it?

    National Geographic article on Hip Hop

    http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0704/feature4/ Not sure what to say about this. Its cursory history as it relates to the Bronx can be found in a lot of other places, and a lot more complete. I do like that he unabashaedly discusses this from a middle class, middle-aged standpoint, which...

    Surgeon and Dubstep

    Bassline House

    Just the name of the (sub)genre gives rise to a variety of reactions within me. Ive been spinning a lot of breaks and dark garage recently, and have noticed the mainstream club music taking a decidedly crunchy, fuzzy, electro feel here in the US (Chicago specifically). Because of this, i find...
