so, anyone aside from me notice this phenomenon? any comments? will it get anywhere?
as a closing note, like i said before, all the attempts to try and recreate garage in a different form have failed cos it seems that these people dont really know how to make a garage tune. it is this feelinjg that made me hate 'my red hot car' so much cos there seemed to be this feeling like, "i've made freejazz stylee stuff, so this simplistic pop music cant be hard to make, lets see, its just drum'n'bass but slower isnt it?" which fell on its face cos its so badly made, and a 1000000x less danceable than the er...real thing.
god this is a long post. you can tell its essay time.......

i think dan snaith (manitoba) probably has distaste for garage as it is essentially trashy, populist dance music (in its current state) and his re-mix is definitely tongue in cheek.
'my red hot car' is definitely another case of taking the piss, and its inclusion as the first track on 'go plastic' confirms it. tom jenkinson is a real prankster and while it is a brilliant piece of music, everything about it screams his frustration with garage and the legions of sheep-headed garage fans.
since i'm on the topic, can anyone recommend me some GOOD garage? i'm quite interested in learning more about it (just so i don't write it off entirely).

i know for a fact that dan manitoba snaith is a huge garage fan; in fact his 2nd favourite track of the year is "gotta get through this" by daniel betingfield (after timbaland and magoo's "i am music"). his remix definitely wasn't tongue in cheek, either.

Sure about that??? I wish it were true. Luckily garage still means a form of rock music to most, thanks in no small part to Nardwaur.

(dan snaith's hometown)....and he has been part of a pretty solid group of garage enthusiasts here....in hamilton we have the only weekly garage night in the whole region...recently we had Kode 9 (from hyperdub.com) over from london to play a big show and do some interviews....
for those who think that garage is consumerist garbage...i highly suggest you go to www.hyperdub.com and get yo-self educated (wink)
and if you are in southern ontario...come to the casbah night club every wednesday night for hardcore garage (benny ill, oris jay, phuturistix, wideboys et al)

PS. I've finally heard that Manitoba track, and it is brilliant.
