Ah, the obsessive music fan's age old dilemna. You love the music, and by proxy object, but everywhere you turn there are so many little plastic boxes staring at you that you feel like they should be paying you rent. Then there's the constant question of how to organize the discs, by genre...

Wow - for a place where people are passionate about music the attitude towards live music is by and large pretty dim. Some of the best times I can remember happened at great concerts/clubs/raves - in fact I'm convinced that some types of music can't be properly understood without having been...

Not on the softer tip, but there was a period of two or three months where I was listening to "Southern Hospitality" by Ludacris several times a day.

Don't know about the Herbie Hancock bit, but I know that Trent's been upfront about the fact that dig it was his inspiration for down in it.

Many laughable things about this list as has been documented by everyone above, but I can't believe this thread has gone on to it's third page and I still get to be the first one to point to out that there's no Kraftwerk on the list (or did I miss it?) :eek:

This is an interesting thread, but it's tough to comment on other peoples contributions because they're so personal and by their nature accidental. Certain figures and bands happen to loom large in your personal history just by nature of the fact that you happened to encounter them first. For...

Didn't know there was another Octave One, don't know why he didn't protect his name, but ge didnt' put out much under that name in any event, so it probably just never showed up on anyones radar. Not sure about the dextrous question (pulled that one from discogs - don't actually have any of the...

My first thought on hearing that there was another guying releasing records under the name Plasticman was "Where does this guy get the balls?" My second thought, after hearing one of his records was, "I have to get this." Regardless of what you think of either man's music though, Hawtin has a...

Bassnation, I was attempting to deconstruct the etymology of the term rather than analyze relationships or really ascribe thoughts or attitudes to people who use the term. I know that people don't typically read this much into it, and I've used the term "baby mama" myself at various points...

Personal pet peeve lyric wise/culture wise: "Baby Mama." As a way of describing a person's relations its brilliant and chilling in its subversiveness. Typically we refer to relations based on how they relate directly to us. My father, my son, my wife, my girlfriend, etc. Even as these...

Love all three of the Nine Inch Nails covers already mentioned although the only one I heard after already knowing the original was "Physical" (probably unforgivable that I hadn't heard "Dead Souls" anything at all by Joy Division by that point, but you have to cut me some slack I was probably...

Interesting bit from the Woebot link is the assertion that "the true medium of hip-hop is the 12"" Interesting cause it's true, but also cause I've often thought that it wasn't always true. Mind you I'm not an authority on hip-hop history by any stretch, but in the eighties (and early 90s?)...

Although namedropping a group as mainstream as the Beastie Boys on your first post is probably not the best way to build a rep on dissensus, Paul's Boutique is all about the stupefying beats. Easily their best effort. Before they started taking themselves too seriously, dabbling in eastern...
