The problem is that we've all got the list archives available to us  
(here's a
hint -- they go  back to 1994, so you can imagine how fresh all these  
flame
threads are), and with a little judicious application of regular  
expressions
and copy and paste, we are all quite capable of completely  
reproducing these

latest threads, without the slightest bit of conscious thought.

Which is precisely how we've arrived at this point, it seems...

So please, let's allow the old girl a little rest.

Very cool.  Reminds me a bit of Chris Cunningham's
Second Bad Vilbel video.

 I noticed that the Claude Young DJ Kicks was included in the list. I've met
 with Claude on a number of occasions - he hates that mix - he says he was
 massively restricted in the tracks he could use and that it isn't a true
 representation of his mixing style and anyone who has seen this master will
 agree.

If I recall correctly, what happened was that !K7 approached him about
doing a mix CD, and asked him what kind of cuts he'd want to use
in the mix.  He gave them an informal  list more or less of the top of
his head, and !K7 went ahead and paid to license the tracks without
confirming with him.  As a result, he ended up having to use the
tracks they'd already paid for.

 That's the thing I dig about Simon Reynolds - I have a pretty

Whaddya think about this paragraph where the mad coiner just
about busts a blood vessel hyphenating shit?

 In the tradition of hardcore and jungle before it, London's garage scene
 works as a gigantic laboratory, a permutation space where new hyphenated
 hybrids and creole micro-genres flicker into life for a few months or even
  just weeks, then disappear: speed garage, slow jungle, ska-house, acid
 swingbeat, hyper-funk, breakbeat garage, disco-ragga, grunge dub, riddim
  blues, electro-gamelan, divas-in-the-echo-chamber, crack house,
 tech-2-step, quiet stormcore, sugarshack breakbeat funk, scrap iron dub,
 bleep garage, wildstyle soul, lover's jump-up.


I can just see him with his head in a bassbin, jotting this stuff down on
