I started listening to the Zippers while they were being hyped on MTV, and I remember them being very firmly placed in the "retro/revival" arena along with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and ska-band-turned-swing-band Cherry Poppin Daddies. All the press I read in that period made sure to mention either a return to big band and swing, and some articles went so far to point out that the zippers played jump blues, not big band. Even interviews with the band were like "I wear a tux when I play out out of respect for the audience, too bad nobody else does that these days". -- /* Halley */ (Halley's comment.) matt kane's brain podcast | http://www.hydrogenproject.com | netradio | on-the-air [EMAIL PROTECTED] || AIM: mkbatwerk
(313) New music vs. New old music (was Juan Maclean)
Perhaps some folks play the tracks 'cuz they weren't around during the first wave of that sort of music. If they haven't heard anything like it before it's not hard to believe that this new output could excite them. It's always interesting to me that there are people I meet who are really into something they think is "new" but they are completely unaware of a previous artist who did something similar. It happened to me when I first got into the Orb...I was excitingly playing it for a crusty-hippie-co-worker I had and I was enthusing on how different and fresh it sounded to me. He suggested (with a slightly pained look of a parent trying to correct a child's bad behavior) that I check out some dub. Up until that part I never even knew dub existed. The Orb's rehashing of something that had already been done (albeit combined creatively with new elements) set me on a delightful path of rediscovery. That's actually one of my favorite elements of listening to music and why I appreciate labels like Soul Jazz Records so much...they help me unearth stuff I missed the first time. On a related note I get grumpy when artists actually cover a track and don't bother to acknowledge the original performer...I always see that as a missed opportunity to educate people on music they're into...granted most of the bigger acts will at least acknowledge the writing credits or sample credits but I'd love it if they used some of their booklet space to expound on who the artist was and why they covered it...imagine if Missy had done something like the with Clear. Though they're not techno, some of you might know BR54-9 or Squirrel Nut Zippers...they're two acts that rose to some degree of fame by clever incorporation of OLD material. When I first heard them I thought they were so fresh and interesting never realizing that they were trawling through the back catalogues of obscure country and jazz tunes respectively. It would have been nice if they'd worn their influences a little more openly on their sleeves so I could have had a better context to place their music in.

RE: [313] Is Techno in a Critical Moment?
"But my question is where can techno go from here without becoming purely experimental or instantly segmented?" This could be seen very similarly to the crisis in art that precipitated post-modernism. The constant drive for something "new" meant that ground was broken and quickly disregarded in an attempt to find something new yet again. Pretty quickly, all the ground was used up with no where new to dig. At that point, out of pure frustration with being painted into a corner, artists began to look back at the areas that had been discovered only to be abandoned with the breakneck demand for "new". They began to mine niches that they felt hadn't been fully explored in an attempt to not necessarily create something entirely new, but perhaps skew the way it was looked at and recontextualize it. Another possible correlation would be between "high art" and "craft." If you take techno as "tomorrow" music, is pretty much assumes that it has to be "new" and that path is remarkably difficult to break. I'm not cynical enough to say everything has been done but I will say that as time progresses it is increasingly difficult to do something "new." Anyway, once the art world got into this corner, there was a massive resurgence in "craft" IE pottery, textiles, and other "functional" mediums. You can sort view "craft" in line with the straight ahead dance floor stuff that is pretty much functional...designed with the goal to make the crowd move. Meanwhile, the abstraction and exploration of the "new" continues in another area and often, filters over to the "craft" level. On a totally different tangent but somewhat related (at least in my feeble mind), I saw the documentary film "Dogtown and Z-Boys" and not only was it visually really enjoyable, but I was really struck by the parallels that could potentially be drawn between Detroit and Santa Monica California where these skaters/surfers lived in. What was amazing to me is that the filmmaker could point to specific days when the sport of skating changed forever with an individual's daily effort. They specifically mentioned the day that a skater (Tony Alva if I recall correctly) went over the lip of a pool and move skating into the realm of vertical tricks. This handful of skaters pretty much singularly redefined what skateboarding is. They did this in an urban environment that was in shambles, and they infused their output with significant influences around them (Latin low-rider culture, gang related graffiti imagery, Hawaiian surf culture, etc) and in the process, created something never seen before. Sound familiar? Sure sounds a bit like the early roots of our music of choice on this list. Anyway, I highly recommend the movie...it left me feeling really good and bubbling with excitement for possibilities. Interesting questions Tristan, I doubt there are concrete answers for them, but they are fun to speculate with. Forgive me for wandering around a bit, if you made it this far, perhaps some of Tristan's questions were touched on and gives you more ideas to consider.

[313] RE: [idm] Free Radio Boy CD for those who didn't make the show.
One of the folks in tow with me that evening ended up leaving a bit into the set as she feared asbestos or lead poisoning. She's a bit of a hypochondriac but, the drop ceiling tiles appeared to have been painted black at some point and she was sure it had to be lead paint. That and the building is definitely of a vintage that could have asbestos in it. When the bass really started to kick in (I believe it was the McDonald's track) the tiles began to jump around and a fine rain of dust liberally sprinkled the crowd. At one point in his set, Matthew looked up to see what exactly was falling on his equipment (like he should care considering he was flinging Captain Crunch and Big Macs around) and seemed amused to see the ceiling tiles all askew above his head.

[313] Question: Final Scratch
After reading of Kevin Saunderson's conversion, it reminded me that I've had a question about this technology. I've always heard that one of the appeals of vinyl (for audiophiles in particular) is the frequency response range; especially in the low end. It's what purists have complained is missing in CDs for years. Does any one have a technical perspective on the audio quality of MP3 vs vinyl? I understand that MP3 is a compressed format and am curious if that compression would noticeably affect the sound, especially in a large club-like setting. For my needs, MP3 is fine as I listen to it on computer speakers, or rip it and listen to it in my car stereo...I'm not really concerned about superior audio quality in those settings as I don't have the greatest gear to reproduce it faithfully. But, in these mega-clubs and parties where the gear can be of the highest caliber, do you reckon 160 kbps (as Kevin mentioned) will cut it? I'm not trying to start a debate, I'm simply curious for input from those who might have a deeper understanding. Thanks!

RE: [313] Speedy J
If his newest CD is any barometer of what you can expect, it'll sound quite a bit like a live DJ mix. Most of the tracks blend seamlessly together and as such, the tempo is fairly consistent throughout the CD. The tracks themselves are a return to earlier form for him with a lot of them reminding me favorably of the "Pullover" and "Something for Your Mind" time period. They aren't simple banging tech-house tracks though, there is an elegant amount of subtle texture manipulation contained track by track. This guy has been making music for a long time and it really shows in the maturity, and precise movement of the music. I did not care for the previous two releases...they weren't bad per se, just not my cup of tea. When I stuck this new release in I expected more of the same and ended up being blown away.

When Grammenos and I saw Metropolis here in NYC last summer I seem to recall Jeff saying that he intended to do a DVD release, and that he had permission to do so. Of course this all may very well have changed since last summer. The plan is/was to place both his first edit of the film (more of a Mega-mix kind of thing) along with the final one and the sountrack all on the same disc. As to the film, I have been a fan of Lang's film ever since I first saw it in my pre-teen years. When I first picked up the Metropolis "12 on Axis, while I kind of dug it, I knew I wouldn't fully appreciate it until seeing Mills' edit of the film...and I was right too;-) The NY screening wasn't quite as mad as the London one sounds, the crowd here was definitely skewed towards the filmista set as opposed to a techno crowd. We also got a question/answer session with Jeff after the film, which doesn't sound as it would have quite come off at the London screening.

I Was a Robot: This book is shockingly self-revealing...imagine a Sprockets-style spoof with all its camp-Freudian-silliness and you're about halfway there in terms of the tell-all auto(erotic)biography confessional Flur spins. No exaggeration; there are early masturbation stories in full-effect. I think the translation makes it (excuse the pun) stiffer than it should be, but damn, it's entertaining and a bit like Springer when you want to look away but simply can't through morbid voyeurism. His youthful crushes are detailed along with some seedier bits of has-been film stars throwing themselves at him in drunken loneliness. In one such episode, he gets to keep his would be conqueror's fine Italian leather shoes after a failed pitch for woo. His descriptions of touring early on in the backwaters of America make the book worth the asking price alone. This is a highly recommended read if only for the pure exhilaration of sharing his obvious lust for life that he shares so freely without any hint of embarrassment. -Original Message- From: Tom Butcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 4:09 PM To: tom churchill Cc: Super Coffee Beans; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [313] kraftwerk bookies?
