    Essential Directors

    Idk why it is with directors and maybe artists, when they get retrospectives put on, places like bfi or galleries think they have to show EVERYTHING. Imagine that with musicians. An audio exhibition of everything 'great musicians' (lets take Bowie for example) have released. It would be awful...

    Films you've seen recently and would recommend WITH reservations

    its basically like an indie war movie, but with a bigger budget, which means you get all the things you expect from an indie film with arty pretensions, ie lots of space, atmosphere, plotty but not necessarily pacey, leaves out lots of details, doesnt think it needs depth, just vibe, but doesnt...

    Films you've seen recently and would recommend WITH reservations

    civil war is pretty cool. some good stuff in there. but its all a bit hazy. a film about war photographers but not that much depth on that. a film about a civil war but not much really on the politics. gets intense near the end, but up til then its a bit of a slow/intermittent burn with some...

    Is Rap in a flop era?

    i would actually rather listen to drake than kendrick at the mo tbh. kendrick just sounds like hes a bit try hard a lot of the time. hes a different kind of artist ofc, so maybe thats unfair, but drake actually sounds good on this latest dis record (taylor swift mentions aside).

    Is Rap in a flop era?

    It just bangs, thats all there is to it. that TPAB verse might read better, but DNA just sounds better. Drake shouting out Taylor Swift on his new freestyle has to be one of the lamest things he has done.

    Is Rap in a flop era?

    Any album with dna is no terrible album.

    how'd that happen?

    Jack whites Third Man label does some weird shaped vinyl releases. Thats just a pressing fuck up though.

    Is Rap in a flop era?

    I quite liked j coles analysis of kendricks albums. GKMC and damn are the best, second is overrated.

    Dance music/race/revolution (essay)

    great piece btw. exposes a lot of the lame/desperate cultural/music journalism practices of the last 5 years. also somewhat depressing in that it shows the understanding from media liberals of race is so poor that they dont know how to respond to things like the killing of george floyd in a...

    Dance music/race/revolution (essay)

    racial binaries (where class does not factor) dont serve music like techno very well.

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Good old fashioned (as in 90s) style epic blockbuster. A bit period drama, war movie, weepie, monster movie. Classy. Def better than the new kong vs godzilla one too.

    Oneohtrix Point Never

    I paid 35. The 45 seats were a no. I like him but its more often just that i like the gear he uses. Actually I cant make up my mind whether i think hes genuinely great or what. But its prob a semi nostalgia thing for me, as much as he doesnt do straightforwardly retro stuff. Otoh, The uncut gems...

    Oneohtrix Point Never

    saw him at the royal festival hall earlier tonight. visually it was crap tbh, some really lame projections going on behind him. expected a bit more from him. but it sounded great.

    The other 90's

    I hated all becks rapped songs. Prob wouldnt mind them now but they were so awful at the time. Didnt think much of tricky back then either initially, thought his music was rhythmically feeble or sonically emaciated and later realised i was half right, half wrong. But mainly my hatred was because...
