    Pitchfork's The Best Music of the 2010s

    A significant issue these days is everyone reads different things, often relating to their 'own' areas. So there is even less chance for consensus to form. I kind of think decades are bullshit as a cultural construct, but it's undeniable that the 2010s saw most 'normal' people go from owning...

    why is ambient so popular now

    Very interesting thread peoples Just to jump back on that question of why ambient has become so popular now Firstly, the rise of internet radio, which prioritises the drift of the mix and the curation of the DJ, as opposed to the stop-start quality of conventional broadcasting and its...

    John Eden - Wire 400 Mix

    Thanks so much for doing it! Always a pleasure John. As I was mentioning to you, I think the Answer mix was the first thing I ever played in the office, so it feels nice to return the favour (or get another favour, maybe...)

    K-Punk

    RIP Mark, you will be missed. It is good to read such personal and heartfelt memories on this thread. I think that would be a great idea, and I'm sure the charity idea would be one deeply appreciated by his family.

    A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions (or random events that changed music)

    Nomos – that DJ/looting one is a cracking theory!

    A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions (or random events that changed music)

    There are several things that might have been crucial in the Sun Ra story – and I suppose the testicle could have been important in more than one way! Firstly, he seems to have had relatively little sexual intimacy in his life, and you could certainly read that as somehow connected with the...

    A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions (or random events that changed music)

    Top thread Some of these 'meeting someone at a gig' ones are slippery though - meeting new people in public by necessity has a random element to it, and we'll never know what might have happened if they didn't meet that person, and instead met someone else I'm going to throw in Omar...

    PRINCE ALBUM POLL

    Sign O The Times has amazing songs but is a bit of a mess, it's an odds and ends collection of various failed projects. Which devalues it a bit for me. Parade is so underrated!

    Aphex File Dump

    Given their both on Warp, it's surprising he didn't do something similar video wise to Squarepusher's Music For Robots thing: It's incredibly impressive, whatever you think of the music itself. I didn't think music of this complexity played by machines on 'real instruments' would be possible.

    Guess who is ghostwriting wiley autobiography?

    Did you guys see that short Slimzee film interview Rollo Jackson did recently? It's really short and poignant. Bit lacking in detail or history, but it really gets to the bottom of who he is well, via a series of wanders down some canals in London. I would love to see something similar with...
