Things have been a bit quiet on the blog lately - for this I apologise, but the last few months have been quite busy for me as a real person and most of the time I've had to relax has been spent doing just that. It's actually been quite nice, having a bit of time to refresh - I remember Ewan Pearson writing once that DJs/producers/music writers should take at least three months a year off from music to go do something else, so that's what I've done, and it's left me eager to get writing and listening again. So, [...]
This was the greatest decade of music for me as a fan. There were so many incredible albums, almost all by bands I'd never even heard of in 2000, discovered almost entirely through the same musical venue that you are reading write now -- the Internet. At the dawn of the decade, I was approaching a rock fan milestone that presumably signaled the end of my interest in cool new music (I turned 30 in 2001), while at the same time, the rock music industry (ie. whatever they played on the radio) had devolved into a hybrid of cheap rap-rock [...]
After attending a birthday party which involved the scarfing of five pig's heads yesterday I still don't feel capable of eating anything. I may have to fast for the next few days before that little lot gets digested, in fact. Fucking hell that was a meal and a half. There will be no giggenfun for me this week, unfortunately, despite a couple of natty lineups on the horizon. The label is going to require an absolutel shitload of admin work this week and if I go out gallvanting there is no way I am going [...]
There have been a number of tributes to the late, great country/folk outlaw poet Townes Van Zandt, but this one offers an interesting angle, coming as it does from an underground alt-folk perspective. The artists taking part range from cult heroes (Jad Fair of Half Japanese, The Lilac Time's Stephen Duffy, The Be Good Tanyas, Fleet Foxes member J. Tillman) to the esoteric (Gustav Haggren, Kate Maki). Most of the performers take an understated, acoustic-based approach to the material, which works out well, as clobbering these carefully wrought tunes with overly clever arrangements would only obscure their worth. Canadian indie-folk [...]
In an age when spelling and punctuation are things only the "spelling police" care about (or so I gather), I find myself worrying about spelling and punctuation. I guess that makes me the Spelling Police. So, do I have back-pay coming? Anyway, you'll notice I use the correct punctuation for Beggars' Night, with the apostrophe after the s, since we're talking one or more beggars. "Beggar's Night," as it's often called, would consist of a single beggar. This is important. To a spelling/punctuation cop, I mean. The photo shows kids trick-or-treating on Jupiter. That's what the surface of [...]

Photek is a drum and bass artist that was much used in the 1990s as a remixer of more downtempo artists in other genres, particularly following his "HiddenCamera" release. I only really know his work through those remixes. Though Goldie became the first superstar of jungle, the recordings of Rupert Parkes -- as Code of Practice, Aquarius, Studio Pressure, the Truper and Sentinel, but most famously as Photek -- made him an easy pick for the style's most artistic and intelligent producer. Working his way through street-level hardstep (on [...]

The music industry is driven by the desire to make money . A decade ago, the most universal of the American music companies (including Universal itself) were controlled by the likes of Seagram . Today, the honor goes to Vivendi . Perhaps Monsanto will be in control tomorrow. "How does a music company become more profitable?" This is the question that those that have the pocket change ask themselves occasionally. The answer is usually somewhere along the lowest common denominator. What do people already like? [...]
