So inspired by Dissensus I made this tool for getting all the youtube videos of a page and creating a playlist from them (e.g. a thread on dissensus) - http://www.youtuple.com Here's a video explaining how it works. It was inspired by dissensus as there's so many great videos posted here but...

Seems to be something dance music related brewing in this tempo range. Maybe in the wake of juke and trap / hip hop / crunk stuff. Think a lot of this is interesting, maybe a bit idm-ish at times but a lot of good stuff, good for mixing it up with jungle and hardcore and up the tempos a bit from...

Ninja Tune are 20 and are releasing a huge boxset to celebrate: http://www.ninjatunexx.com Weekly free downloads too. Some of the remixes look pretty interesting, but it is expensive. Used to love the label in my teens, mid 90s, got me into jungle/dnb later on (around the time when...

The internet went boom on these guys like boingboing put it (http://www.boingboing.net/2010/02/03/more-on-die-antwoord.html) http://www.dieantwoord.com/ youtube vids: This stuff creeps me out but fascinates me at the same time. The band members are artists and this kind of seems like...

As a fan of records I am fascinated by this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_types_of_gramophone_records knew most of the techniques but some of the uses intrigue me. Why aren't more of these done nowadays, making records special in the face of illegal downloads? Do you own any...

Which languages do you speak? Which do you want to learn? How do they affect your thought? My mother tongue is Icelandic, think its wonderful and beautiful and am saddened and delighted at the same time that only about 300.000 people speak it. Speak English and Danish fluently. I guess...

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/when-djs-ruled-the-world-1643535.html article seems a bit all over the place, but still think its a topic worth discussing. The changes in a dj's status took place relatively fast, 8-10s after the the early rave days where the raver...

http://www.worldwatch.org/node/6008 http://www.resalliance.org/ Anyone know anything about this stuff? Are these respected theories? My dad sent me this article. He's a very concious environmentalist, but all within the current framework (ngo work, protesting, letter writing, trying to have a...

just read this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29002527/ "When musicians are dissatisfied with presidential administrations, they write protest songs, march on Washington and mouth off on stage. When they’re happy, they make dance music." :slanted: This grossly simplifies and distorts things...

Basically an app for the iphone allowing users to make music in real time. Their video explains it better than I ever could: http://rjdj.me/what/ pretty cool stuff. Reactive music is an interesting concept, not entirely new I guess but current technology might make it more ubiquitous. Maybe...

Figured I might start a thread for some of the mixes I do. Love to get feedback and so on. My mixes can be found in my podcast: http://kalli.breakbeat.is/podcast and with icelandic ramblings in my blog: http://kalli.breakbeat.is/music/music.html recent stuff: Detroit and Bass...

Really really feeling his album, my copy is on the way but had a chance to listen to the cd at a record store and oh is it good! It has a detroit edge to it, sounds old but yet new. Really excited by this and it seems Im not the only one. Not too familiar with his older stuff but the Warped...

theo parrish on (dance)music and race: http://www.moodmat.com/?p=977

three different views on the role and importance of detroit in techno: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.com/ The comments sections are interresting (if a bit anal...). While I like a lot of the music the purism and elitism around detroit is really some of the worst Ive ever come across! I don't...

Just read this: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.com/2008/04/can-somebody-please-direct-me-to-chill.html and think it makes a good point. Chill out rooms were nice, a bit corny, the music was often horrible and it may have seemed a bit to contrived and plur at times but it was a good thing to have...

So about a week ago I had never heard of this band but now I see them mentioned everywhere. Scanned through the album and it sound alright, pretty good even, but the amount of hype is really a bit too much. I really like Anthonys voice better in this context than on the songs I had heard from...

I find it much harder to find new writers and books that I will like than finding new stuff within other media or art (music, magazines, tv, blogs, movies list goes on). Obviously books are more demanding than a lot of the other things mentioned, you can't just check them out quickly and so on...

Going to paris in a couple of weeks with my girlfriend (Paris France not Texas :rolleyes:). Looking for recommendations for music stuff; record shops, clubs, concert venues. Ive gotten most of the touristy type of stuff covered but can't seem to find much info on music related stuff (in english...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/08_august/02/1xtra.shtml Adding Tim Westwood and Trevor Nelsons Seems like their getting rid of some of the more underground stuff, too bad... I've never quite understood this station, what's it really about? Does it have a lot of...

http://www.mp3.com/news/stories/9464.html It's a bit long but he starts talking about hip hop scholars and academics about halfway through. He mentions Jeff Chang specifically (Jeff has replied here http://www.cantstopwontstop.com/blog/2007/05/krs-one-on-cant-stop-wont-stop.cfm). I think KRS...
