What the fuck happened?
 

sorry but i come in today to see the whole thing a mess-- drama and lamentations and gnawing of teeth... anyone care to summarizethe soap opera for those of us who actually do stuff during the summer time? :D

by the way, great world cup final yesterday. i was in favor of france but the italians kicked much ass. well-deserved victory.

but anyway... what about this house of pain? update me please...

Devolution.

It gets more stupid by the day.Not much else.I think i'll start posts and quote and reply to them myself.There should be more gays on this forum as IT'S NOT gay enough.

Repped.

???

mongoloid, the board was a mongoloid......

mothersbaugh is great...eye heart his scores for Anderson films

assblaster n saturnine both got banned. both came back under different monikers. saturnine brought a friend w/her. sonic susie is still bitching. board is at an all time low. oh and schizo scorched her boobs or sumthin...

why did they get banned? assblaster can be an ass, but mostly a funny one. and saturnine? what did she do? werd...

They've found out that she's a slag.

Made disparaging comments about muslims... (i.e. Laila).

^^that's the new AB btw. cantankerous is the new sat...

Wait.Noone knows that by now or do they?

oh. hm that's bad form. though laila doesn't exactly represent... but generalizations like that suck gonads. i say when you insult someone, keep it specific. :p

So anyway, has anyone read that article by Stockhausen where he slags off Aphex, Scanner and...er... someone else? It's in 'Audio Culture', that Wire-related book. It was most amusing, and quite correct in my mind. Also a great interview with Yatsuano Tone and Christian Marclay in there. I'd recommend checking it out.

How's it going !"£$? (The last question mark is a question mark...)

i came here on freewill, kthanks.

hey man. doing pretty good, thanks. staying away from the internet as much as i can these days. i mean this hot weather is not conducive to being locked up indoors. and the board is not the addictive amphetamine it used to be. and then the world cup ate most of my free time. :D

stockhausen hates aphex twin? hm... i like stockhausen, but there are always the old farts moaning about the young whippersnappers ruining music. just yesterday i was in a walmart parking lot listening to lightning bolt and this geezer asks me (politely i must say) if 'the music was broken". ha ha ha ha. that was funny.

anyway what's this wire-related book you speak of? got a link for it?

ps- i have to say: all this bitching makes it easy to stay away & do some work. have fun people.

A link

It's ok. It's well worth reading. There are a lot of gash essays in there mind. The essay by Simon Reynolds on post-rock is one of the most pretentious load of gack I've read in a long while. But generally, it's worth it. A great (but too short) essay by Pauline Oliveros in there as well. I like her. It made me go back to her recordings, which was a good idea, because they're ace on a stick.

It's not quite that Stockhausen hates Aphex. He just thinks it's a bit boring and unsophisticated - I agree entirely; I like Aphex a great deal, but the accusations of sophistry always confuse me. He's merely very good, not a great of the avant-garde. Apologies if this sets off hip priest.

Tell us something new Glice.

Hey did you just say that?
