shhhhh secret thread to talk about music without getting into a high-pitched ilm shriekfest on whatever thread is going on atm

have you ever wondered what it would sound like if Tom Jones & Portishead did a version of "Motherless Child"? well now you don't have to worry anymore:

my fave plastikman jam, 5 minutes of buildup and tinny computer speakers don't really do it justice but w/e

6:18 is such a stupid trick but I love it

this shit is zen

1. you lock the target
2. you bait the line
3. you slowly spread the net, and
4. you catch the man

why is it that 15 years later, without influence of any drugs whatsoever, I now TOTALLY get this shit

I'm yet to understand that track... Have tried...

most of this stuff seems to me to be about submerging yourself in stasis so that the initial adrenaline rush washes over you in continuous waves mixed in with shifting into a mindset where you are really focusing on minute shifts in the pattern sequencing rather than the overall structure, which can come across very easily as two measures of drum pattern repeated for 10 minutes

btw: ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album

this is great so far

In honor of the new Skinny Puppy album out this week, I've been playing Bites on Spotify. Still an amazing, amazing album.

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
Torture
Hot Hot Hot!!!
The Perfect Girl
All I Want
Why Can't I Be You?
Icing Sugar
Fight
Catch
Shiver and Shake
Hey You!!!
A Thousand Hours

also can I talk for a second how awesome "Unity In Dub" by Austin is?

also the STOP-GO remix from Speed Limit 140+ BPM 3: The Joint is undeniable:

DEATH IS TOO GOOD

FUCK YOU AL JOURGENSON, YOU HAVE BEEN WORTHLESS FOR 20 YEARS

oh fuuuuuuuuuuck this

I KNOW

I mean, you listen to horseshit like that and then you go back to random rarity tracks from their early career like "I'm Falling" and it's like "why did you repudiate everything that made you good and interesting in favor of becoming the world's worst band"

for reference: http://open.spotify.com/track/6zS95UFujKevZZjbiBrDEH

great band: http://open.spotify.com/track/0xeDLCRWblZsk3qfojrRqM

this just in: Disintegration is awesome

apparently there is an emcee out there named Tity Boi

RIP hip-hop 1978-2007

mabye he is just very fastidious, have you thought of that mr man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBx-M2oRBLg

somehow I don't think so

hmmmmm

it is somewhat less surprising to learn that Tity Boi worked with Weezy

*ribald jeffersons joke*
