    Optimo "Kill the DJ"

    It is such an amazing mix. Manages to be eclectic and fun. Rarely ever striking a false note. #1 on my agenda when I made a trip from hill country here in the States to the U.K. and Scotland last year was to spend a Sunday evening in the throws of Optimo at the Sub Club. One of the most...

    Pierre Henrys Disco Album

    I flipped out when I came across this record amongst piles of classical albums at a library sale a decade ago. Just gazing at the cover alone made me squeeze the record sleeve so hard I was afraid it'd snap from the pressure before I could pay for it. I used to play "Danse Electromatic" from it...

    So who on this board is in the states or canada?

    I DJ'd for years when I lived in bigger cities in the South but I returned to the mountain where I grew up five or six years ago. Still haven't managed to shake the record collector/music obssesive bug though. I enjoy all the grime stuff I've been able to hear via internet radio and white...

    Still Tippin' (Diplo Remix)

    Absolutely. Kills any of the remake/remodeling Diplo did on the M.I.A. mixtape. This is what the fourth version of "Tippin'" too behind the one with the Chamillionaire verse, the 12" original with Thugga,Jones & Paul Walgreens and the remix with Lil Keke and Big Pokey. They could do ten more...

    The UK has become (almost) irrelevant

    I agree. I don't believe Tim was aware of what was going in the jungle/d'n'b scene until several writers made the comparison. And indeed alot of the bounce music I heard when I lived in Louisiana in the early nineties rhythmically wasn't too far away from what Tim was doing (sans the booty chant...

    when was the last time a song choked u up?

    recently listening to Nina Simone's "Wild is the Wind" on my backporch with the sun setting on my view of the Appalachians here in Virginia I admit that I got a bit of something in my eye.

    dogville

    i'd recommend this link to Marcello Carlin's thoughts on Dogville. Very interesting though it really doesn't touch on the sort of anti-christianity/religious allegory of the film. http://nostudium.blogspot.com/2004_02_01_nostudium_archive.html#107709449619690548

    Hot RnB

    Ciara's been mentioned already but I'll second that recommendation. "Goodies" is one of my favorite tunes of the year and I just got her new "1, 2 Step" single today and it's quite nice as well. Also Shawna's "Shake That Shit" single on DefJam is great too. Nice sped-up guitar sample with...
