however the hardcore continnum is about british kids making music, rather than everyone who ever touched a drum machine, obv there are lots of continnums though.
v mportnt points! hcc is about british kids, esp london kidz right?
"obv there are lots of conntinnuums" says mms. YES, thank you! There certainly are. it's important to say this again n again . also I'd say any tradition with communitiy/ies making art could be called continuua, often. Visual art, film maykers, etc. i'll bet iranian film industry folks post-rev cld easily talk bout their continnum/s forged under certain strict govt constraints (no man woman touch each other) and in situation called 'scenius' by .
so, as i say, hcc isn't particularly 'theoretical'
UNTIL SR begins to decide who fits IN , and who fits OUT . that's where his 'theory' or 'criticism' -- instead of 'description' -- actually comes in, and a lot of it is deficient (says i and bunch of others)
and, we r saying, that's when his distance from the scene begins to show and cause errors
no one ever said you can't write about art u didn't observe, firsthand, sellfox. that would discount virtually all scholarship of any kind dealing w teh past. problem is that many of SR's recent proclamations ring hollow to the kidz/journos/folks on the scene now, and they call him out for it. i mean, thx goodness - what does a critic expect , anyway, than to be challenged and called out ?
but we r gonna need more than old wire atricles in order to see what relevance his ideas have 2DAY for music/phaenomena/goings-on 2DAY
PEACE
