I agree about boomkat. Their reviews are awful. Everything is
wonderful, essential. Everything is limited. They love to hype over
unknown artists releases and speculate it's an aphex twin release if
it has the word "window" on the title. Ridiculous.

I would suspect that once the likes of the Wire and Boomkat-deriven
shops stop enthusing over it so wildly and let it run its course,
the genre might actually become interesting, because it doesn't
really deserve the fawning it receives right now.
That's not to say there's nothing good in the genre, but the
slavish drivel that is written about it by some people about it
just puts me off.

Weren't you raving about the last Burial album a few months back?
Wouldn't people call that
dubstep?. Not that it matters, I think.
nah, that is 2-step. it really has no connection in beat patterns,
sound pallette, or feel to anything in the dubstep genre, it shares
many of those things with 2-step records though.
When it comes to 'dubstep' I do not like it more or less than any
other music - I just like good
music. When you say you don't like dubstep, do you have a
particular sound or artist in mind? Or
do you literally not think much of a whole tranche of music much
of which you won't have heard? ;)
i like exactly none of it. most of it is either too angry, too boring,
or just ridiculous sounding. i guess i dont mind the original "blood
on my hands" by shackleton but its not good enough that i went out and
bought it. and that is only one track!
