Well, I think also we both have a very particular sense of humor. I think people on here know me pretty well, but people on other boards have gotten upset when I joke around about music. I mean, I'll listen to drone and be like "man, this is some badass dude-holding-down-one-key-on-a-keyboard-for-30-minutes shit!" and people will get pissed. Even though I love the music, I don't take it seriously; hell, I promote Scissor Shock with things like "music to give you a migraine!"
Thanks for the reccomendations, Babe Rainbow is badass.
BTW, Mr. Fox, I
really think you'd dig the new Scissor Shock. And trust me, I'd never reccomend that stuff to you before, but this new album is something else. Since I was listening to dubstep for the whole recordng process, there's parts that are rhythmically very bizarre (loud snares) and grimey, and there's a lot of little acid techno parts, mixed in with some xylophones and some downright melodic keyboard lines and pop parts. It sounds really broken but complex, I actually think it'd be right up your alley. Even
Glice likes it.

It's only 41mb/32 minutes, so it's nothing too taxing to take in, I'm really interested in your opinion on it, it's a lot more electronic than other releases while still feeling really human. If nothing else, the bass guitar parts sound weird as hell (it's just a regular electric guitar, tuned down 2 1/2 steps!) The title track took 2 years to write!
Glad you like Odan, he has another little ep too. Gives away all his shit for free. Some of the weirdest acid bass stuff. Really cool. Just great, really addictive. I also HIGHLY reccomend reshape - dance paradox, probably my favorite electronic album of the past 2 years, I know I mention it a lot, but it's SO addictive, almost ikonika-addictive. Have you heard Ikonilka's "Smuck" or "Space Ugly"? Those are pretty rare songs (er, they're not on Hyperdub at least!). I could up 'em for you if you need em. She's also done some badass remixes.
BTW, do you know if Mono/Poly's AMAZING track "Beatles Bitch" has a Beatles sample? I was wondering if that "OHHH OHHH OHHH" thing was from a Beatles song.
One more thing, I made a mix, and since I've enjoyed your mixes in the past, I figured I'd post this, it's gotten a really good reaction on other boards, I know you know half the songs -- hell, you got me into a 4th of the groups on here -- but I think the ones you don't know, you'd dig. Omni Trio's "Kinetic" for example is probably in my top 10 elctronic songs ever.

I think I'm going to listen to FaltyDL right now!
