We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Great piece by Simon Reynolds about "digital maximalism" in Pitchfork. Talks about Flylo, Rustie, Grimes, etc... and how this whole feeling overwhelmed by technology thing isn't new at all.

It's not a read, it's a video, but everyone should check this out. I know it's been posted in the electronic music thread in Troo, but I figured it fits here, too. Bassnectar describes electronic music genres really really well.
This is actually a pretty great read. Tom Scharpling is doing a feature about LULU, one track per entry, while actually giving it more than just an "this is obviously garbage" dismissal. It's still a negative review, but it's a great read. At part 9 now, check em all here:
It's interesting to hear about their relationship and how Dilla pushed Questlove in new directions and largely influenced his sound.
The last stage of this period, that to me was more exciting, because he really wasn’t able to communicate. Which really makes Donuts that much creepier for me to hear because all of those [samples], I’m now certain beyond a shadow of a doubt, were actual messages from him. Not just him randomly choosing stuff. If you analyze everything that’s said on Donuts—from “Workinonit,” (where the sample says I’m still working—’cause that’s the thing, he was confined to a wheelchair, he really couldn’t talk, he was half his weight. To see him would freak you out and frighten you. And then he’d press play and you’re like, “Wait a minute!” And that’s when it hits you, like, “Oh, OK, the brain and the creativity inside him are still the same even though the physicality is different.”

"And the kids who wanted to get jiggy definitely weren't having it: at the Ybor City show, a girl repeatedly screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?" She seemed on the verge of panic, literally out of her (Honda) Element."
god I miss that show
