Skudge remix of Slow Motion at 1 hour 14 minutes. After a huge response in Marcel Fenglers Berghain mix, Slow Motion is set for release on Sims' very own Theory imprint this March with a huge remix package boasting works from Skudge, Robert Hood & Rolando. After an extended hiatus in 2011, it's now clear that both Theory & Ben Sims were preparing for both his debut LP Smoke & Mirrors, and this almighty 40th release. A heavyweight number suited for only the darkest of caverns and the truest of sound systems. Swedish duo [...]
The 2008ighites crew made sure you'd hear their name during the last half of 2011 and Fonz E-Mak is a largely responsible for that surge. From our first known instance with them during the "Natural High" Video Shoot when they would't leave without DJ RTC's contact, or simply creating songs literally asking why their not on certain blogs, it's only right for them to be buzzing right now as we enter 2012. Fonz E-Mak, the soft spoken MC, made it known through his tone, the determined and serious approach the crew took since it's inception during 80's day at Thornwood [...]
...and why, by contract, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor is today's Mozart. Challenge accepted! You're probably most familiar with Mussorgsky's most popular piece, "Night on Bald Mountain." However, I was always drawn to his later work, "Pictures at an Exhibition" from 1874. It's a very musically literal piece, as are most of his works, but this is about as literal as you can get: The composer
-- Big up the BBC and Brook Lapping Productions. Erykah Badu presents two half hours of radio on the Black Power movement and the aesthetics and music that accompanied it. Great montage and interviews with Archie Shepp, Amiri Baraka, Ornette Coleman, Sonia Sanchez, Lloyd McNeil and Talib Kweli. Kweli describes a situation from around 10 years ago where he booked a plane ticket over the phone. In the background he was listening to Stokely Carmichael speeches. When he turned up at the airport the authorities were waiting for him. The lesson he takes from this is [...]
It's been an interesting day of news and rumors surrounding the future of the Southgate House, which will close its doors at the end of 2011. After I posted my theory last night, I spoke with a few more people and slowly began to back away from that guess. But a more interesting theory has surfaced over the past few hours, and here is the update. This comment was left by someone here on ENS earlier today regarding the future home of the Southgate House. "an old prayer building on 6th and [...]
I know the news of our beloved Southgate House closing is still very fresh in your minds, and mine too, but I want to provide a theory about its future. Please keep in mind this has not been confirmed to me, but makes perfect sense given the circumstances. I believe that the Southgate House plans to re-locate across the street in the old IMAX space at Newport On The Levee. A source confirmed to me tonight that the space is being renovated into a live music space. I'm told it will be renovated [...]
Mentioning The Death Of Postmodernism Is En Vogue We've seen two articles in the past week mentioning the death of Postmodernism. In the socio-political sense we wrote about this in our MA Thesis published in 2005. Guess this proves that...

Left Handed Guitar Lessons - Easy to find online It is logical to search for guitar lessons that are suited for left handed players. After all, you do everything else with your left hand.

Wale - Lace Frontin' Wale - That Way (Featuring Jeremih & Rick Ross) WA-LAY! is out with a new tape. I gotta confess, I really really like Wale's mixtapes (his album not so much, it's a bit too tweaked mainstream for me but he still spit some nice lyrics on it), they're always lengthy, well produced with a mix of beats, and Wale himself is a good and a bit underrated MC in my opinion. One of the first hip hop artists I really started getting into. Anyway here's his [...]

Robbery rates and murder rates have been on a sharp decline in the United States since 1991 . The BBC looks at ten theories that might help explain why. It's also evidence that the country is theoretically safer than it ever has been. Except that the prison populations are still sky high. There's definitely a strange discrepancy between the low crime rates and high prison populations. Tweet
Blues Guitar Theory There's not a great deal of theory connected with blues guitar but there certainly is a lot of discussion and a great deal of misunderstanding. Let's start with taking a look at blues in the key of E. Some guitarists assume that the basic scale for playing blues music in this key would [...]

Much has been said about the pace and fecundity of Robert Pollard in these pages and elsewhere so I'll try to refrain from quipping about not being able to keep up. Some choose to embrace it and buy everything, some choose to ignore everything while others try to cherry pick the best ones.... What are you gonna do? Buy every one? Every other one? One? None? I've come to terms with Pollard's output by focusing on his non-solo albums. Capricious maybe, but a guy has to be weed them out somehow. I think it's [...]
Max Fischer is a Wes Anderson character from the very, very, very good Rushmore. Someone has a blog dedicated to the idea that the character wrote the underrated-yet-still-conflicti ng Wes Anderson movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I can get down with that idea.
Can someone explain to me modes on the guitar? Yes, I've googled it about a hundred times, but I find all of my results to be very confusing and advanced. If someone could explain to me what they are or find a website doing so in a simple matter, it'd be much appreciated! I'll try this [...]
