Could we not do the "Here's a dozen tracks I won't talk about except to say they're good" poo poo? You don't have to do long writeups or whatever but just something about the music.

Dubstep of the future. We're here. Can someone with iTunes actually buy this cause i'm really curious. Considering how obviously copyright infringing it is i'm sure we can share it.

Now That's What I Call Dubstep!

As for the Post-Dubstep nametag thing, well that's just folk who've never been on a dancefloor before who're trying to justify to themselves that they like something that's actually *shock* dance music! Post-, Future, Intelligent. All just ways to try and convince people and convince themselves that somehow what they're listening to is somehow 'better' and 'smarter' than this other stuff. Like it's more pure or worthy. Truth is it normally just ends up kinda shite.

FWIW, I think "intelligent" definitely fits your description and "future" to an extent, but post as a prefix I think is often used constructively. Post-rock, post-punk, post-metal, post-hardcore, these are terms that describe music that the people who like the un-post-ed music might not like, but I think they're still useful.

quote:

Remember a lot of these folk probably listen to Yes and genuinely think, "magnificent". And I'm not talking about Owner Of A Lonely Heart(which is good).

One can like mid-70s Yes (which is excellent imho) and dance music you know...

Oh het, you used to be my favourite moderator, but now after you say such words my world is shaken to the very core!

You think that's bad, I'm probably going to select the album Rites of Dawn by Wobbler (no dubstep relation) as my album of the year, which is basically entirely aping Yes circa Fragile-Close to the Edge-Tales from Topographic Oceans

And on the topic of Glaswegian producers, I'll need to reveal the truth here that I've also never been a fan of HudMo.

I sort of wish I could enjoy him, but goddamn, his music is so bad it makes me angry.

For an album with such a grammatically atrocious title it sure is polite and middle class.

Prescriptivist.

He has another one for Porcupine where he follows his cat around the house with a bit of paper that says "C'est ne pas une 'porcupine'"

He loving owns.
