Re: (313) Cooking channel - Detroit Edition

2008-04-26 Thread Jeffrey Richards
I can't say anything for Detroit, because I never ate
at a coney island place there...But I used to frequent
Angelo's in Flint, and my Dad worked there when he was
in high school back in the mid 60's.  

The ultimate 3 am food was the Coney Dogs and Fries
and Gravy.  The coney sauce was made of ground beef
hearts, which I was always told was unique  for coney
sauce.  Some places I know use ground up hot dogs, and
super fatty scraps of everything else.  The dogs were
always Vienna style dogs...which are my favorite.  

I have never eaten on the real Coney Island, but I am
assuming it is completely different than the
interpretation we had in Flint.

Funnny...Wikipedia says the type of hot dog used was
developed in Michigan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island_hot_dog

More reading and you find that Coney Island NY isn't
really responsible for the style of hot dog, the type
of restaurant, or the ingredients.  It is just a
name...

Re: (313) Recalling that dubstepxtechno thread

2008-04-26 Thread darnistle
You don't need to be on drugs to appreciate psytrance, though the music 
may click more if you've experienced the drugs and can relate to the 
headspace the music comes from.  Same is probably true of any musical 
form that is closely linked to certain drugs (dub and pot, gabber and 
speed, etc)


Personally, I loved psychedelic trance when it was goa and the music was 
coming from an LSD and mushrooms headspace.  As it morphed into 
psytrance, the whole feel of the music changed and lost much of what 
first caught my interest.  Suomisaundi is really the only style in that 
scene that still inspires me with its musical abandon and sense of humor.


Dubstep seems to have gotten as staid and singular as psytrance did.  I 
loved the whole 2Step sound and like the early dubstep that still showed 
its perky 2Step roots, but now much of the dubstep I've heard is a 
dreary sludgefest and all too similar sounding.  This style of music 
could be so much more fun than most of it is.


Its like a macho-man mentality crept in and got rid of all the bouncy 
and perky girlie aspects of 2Step to focus on being harder, darker and 
skankier than the next guy.


I can't really think of that same mindset showing up in Detroit techno. 
 Perhaps my perspective is limited, but even when it is very hard, dark 
and minimal I don't get the same macho boys club feeling from Detroit 
techno.  When I lived in Ann Arbor and clubbed in Detroit, I didn't get 
that sense overall from the music I heard.


Is it just me, or has the Detroit techno scene managed to sidestep the 
macho boys club musical mentality that seems to eventually plague most 
other scenes?

i hate dubstep though.  i have a soft nostalgic spot in my heart for
psytrance, but god damn is it way too fast for me now, and it has
gotten much worse than it used to be, in general.

Re: (313) Recalling that dubstepxtechno thread

Unfortunately, hard and edgy seems seems to be the requirement for 
dubstep now.


However, I would recommend Benga's new album on Tempa, which is not 
stuck in the aforementioned rut! He actually changes up the styles, 
rhythms and moods. The album is really fun to listen and dance to and it 
veers close enough to 2Step


I just picked up the Caspa and Rusko mix (Fabriclive37) and it is 
enjoyable, as long as I don't scrutinize the tracks too much.  Good to 
dance to, not necessarily to sit and listen to.  In some ways it has 
that raw, early rave feel, where the squeeches and squelches manage to 
work in a mix, but the tracks themselves probably wouldn't stand up if 
you had to listen to them in their entirety.


I would consider Burial dubstep.  His first album was like 2Step for 
Goths.  His second album was like dubstep for haunted ravers.  He's soft 
and hard and edgy and turgid and moist and chill and so much more...


I too have been on dubstep's jock (to quote Tom) somewhat lately, in 
spite of myself.

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.

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? ;)

Personally, I can't get enough of Elemental  3D - Blob at the moment.
Love it.

 yes, but at least the extra bits (mix CDs and such) are related in some

 you're not going to get unrelated Derrick Emerson records when looking
 up
 all the Derrick May stuff for sale
 
 if you look up the label Chicago acid house label Underground

 there's a ton of completely unrelated labels are thrown into the mix
 
 you get:
 Underground Resistance
 Urban Underground UK
 Underground Construction
 Underground Quality

 Glasgow Underground

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, Tom's confidence in his
own taste did not admit much in the way of dissent, and he never
shrank from a beef. On the other hand it seemed like anyone sensible

(313) Stack o' Wax Wild Kingdom

2008-04-26 Thread Richard Hester
Last week's Wild Kingdom playlist is at 
http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=30077 . It was an all-CD affair.
This week's set is about having to play the hand you're dealt. I have a 
huge stack of 12s in the living room, purchased in lots of 10-20 from 
an Ebay seller as a sort of pig-in-the-poke speculation. I grabbed a big 
handful of these and threw together a set. Labels employed include 
Trapez, User, New Religion, Head to Toe, Onitor, Kompakt, Ost Gut Ton, 
Ware, Jelly Jam (sort of snuck in near the end of the set), Ware, and 
Poker Flat.


Next week I start a series of specials during my time slot as part of 
the fabulous KFJC Month of Mayhem, a tradition at the station since 
1982. First up for me is a special called The Sounds of Machines Our 
Parents Used, a 3-hour special on bands and track named after synths, 
effects, patches, plug-ins, etc. For more details on this and other 
specials, check www.kfjc.org.


 The Wild Kingdom airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Saturday night/Sunday 
Morning, 12A-3A (7A-10A GMT). The webcast is at www.kfjc.org (follow the 
links). Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived there. 
You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show Just 
Desserts that aired on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999. Archived 
playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve 
1999/2000.


If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to 
let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all 
over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events. 
If you want to do some fairly serious promotion, contact the KFJC

Re: (313) Recalling that dubstepxtechno thread

2008-04-26 Thread Kowalsky
Yes, i agree with you about dubstep. I would not say this in a list  
that's not very dubstep friendly, and i've already said this, for  
sure, in the dubstep forums. In the dubstep forums i stand up to  
other genres, like techno. :-)
The this i would not say, but i got to, is: the same downpath that  
drum n' bass traced, dubstep is tracing right now. Producers with no  
sensibility or no feeling are taking their 15 minutes of fame with  
angry wo-wo-wo basslines and agressive drum rolls. The macho thing is  
gonna create a paralysis.


But well... in other way of looking at things, dubstep is not only  
dubstep. Drum n' bass was not only drum n' bass. Jungle was not only  
jungle. You got to see this things all together as the urban music  
from the uk. As a mutanting thing that keeps revolving. And all of  
these styles, such as dubstep, they are not functionally made based  
on drugs or drugs headspace. Drugs are all around, yes. But dubstep,  
when it was born, and drum n' bass, when it was born, were much more  
about pavement, the city, the boroughs, the crew, it's urban music.  
They were connected directly to the beat shapped by and for the  
kids, the expression of a moment in urban culture and its musical  
pulse. I don't know how things are moving right now – (recently,  
there are was a big night with all dubstep main producers at ministry  
of sound, in london...) – but there was no strobe light in dubstep  
nights. No clubism, no search for escapim, as you can find in the  
majority of trance related music and trance club scene.


What i see on the bright side is that the best contributions of  
jungle, drum n' bass, grime, dubstep, they produce the seeds for the  
uk urban music to show his freshness from time to time. I like to  
look at the timeline and see how things evolved since first raves  
untill now.

You don't need to be on drugs to appreciate psytrance, though the  
music may click more if you've experienced the drugs and can  
relate to the headspace the music comes from.  Same is probably  
true of any musical form that is closely linked to certain drugs  
(dub and pot, gabber and speed, etc)


Personally, I loved psychedelic trance when it was goa and the  
music was coming from an LSD and mushrooms headspace.  As it  
morphed into psytrance, the whole feel of the music changed and  
lost much of what first caught my interest.  Suomisaundi is really  
the only style in that scene that still inspires me with its  
musical abandon and sense of humor.


Dubstep seems to have gotten as staid and singular as psytrance  
did.  I loved the whole 2Step sound and like the early dubstep that  
still showed its perky 2Step roots, but now much of the dubstep  
I've heard is a dreary sludgefest and all too similar sounding.   
This style of music could be so much more fun than most of it is.


Its like a macho-man mentality crept in and got rid of all the  
bouncy and perky girlie aspects of 2Step to focus on being  
harder, darker and skankier than the next guy.


I can't really think of that same mindset showing up in Detroit  
techno.  Perhaps my perspective is limited, but even when it is  
very hard, dark and minimal I don't get the same macho boys club  
feeling from Detroit techno.  When I lived in Ann Arbor and clubbed  
in Detroit, I didn't get that sense overall from the music I heard.


Is it just me, or has the Detroit techno scene managed to sidestep  
the macho boys club musical mentality that seems to eventually  
plague most other scenes?

as a former psytrance dj who can still appreciate it to some extent

except perhaps that you really need to be on massive quantities of
drugs to get either one.
i hate dubstep though.  i have a soft nostalgic spot in my heart for
psytrance, but god damn is it way too fast for me now, and it has
gotten much worse than it used to be, in general.

Caspa and Rusko sit among the starters of this wave of angry bass and  
of being hard and edgy, for the sake of itself, that i don't like  
much. For me, they represent what Bad Company represented to drum n'  
bass.
Although Burial did not walk on the footsteps of dubstep stylings,  
his first EP, South London Bouroughs, was fundamental to shape the  
dubstep to come, 3 years ago.

Unfortunately, hard and edgy seems seems to be the requirement  
for dubstep now.


However, I would recommend Benga's new album on Tempa, which is not  
stuck in the aforementioned rut! He actually changes up the styles,  
rhythms and moods. The album is really fun to listen and dance to  
and it veers close enough to 2Step


I just picked up the Caspa and Rusko mix (Fabriclive37) and it is  
enjoyable, as long as I don't scrutinize the tracks too much.  Good  
to dance to, not necessarily to sit and listen to.  In some ways it  
has that raw, early rave feel, where the squeeches and squelches  
manage to work in a mix, but the tracks themselves probably  
wouldn't stand up if you had to listen to them in their entirety.


I would consider Burial dubstep.  His first album was like 2Step  
for Goths.  His second album was like dubstep for haunted ravers.   
He's soft and hard and edgy and turgid and moist and chill and so  
much more...


I too have been on dubstep's jock (to quote Tom) somewhat lately,  
in spite of myself.

So what defines dubstep? Hard and edgy? Firm and moist? Turgid?

Burial isn't really dubstep - it's too wet and soft

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.

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? ;)

Personally, I can't get enough of Elemental  3D - Blob at the  
moment.

Love it.
