I find the rhythmic, poetic cadence of the title "Music Is Rotted One Note" preferable to the more workaday "Music Is One Rotted Note." Just to confuse things more, my copy of the British mag "Jockey Slut" (let's give a big thumbs-up to Jockey Slut at this point) has an enjoyable Squarepusher article/interview, complete with pictures of our boy Tom in a straitjacket...in this article they refer to the title as "Music Is One Rotted Note"...but I s'pose this issue may be a bit out of date since I bought it at a Border's in New Jersey. Anyway, this issue has UNKLE on the cover, and is likely to be up your alley if you like IDM...judging by the overlap of artists on this list and in that mag (and no, I don't work for them or anything).

It's easy to understand where JOCKEY SLUt stands as a magazine. When the the first boc 12" came out on Skam where was the review ???? as soon as the album/cd cameout on Warp it's album of the month.... and now skam are the best or something "according to the magazine". A few back handers here and there and things start appearing in the magazine,,(alledgedly) I'm happy never to have been reviewed in there and long may it continue,,, the magazine though is exteremly forthcoming in comparing releases to us though (thanks for that HECTOR-JONESY)................ JOCKEY SLUt represents all that is wrong with the music industry and Music Media in General (ie NO IDEAs and lets MAKE LOTS OF MONEY BY ONLY COVERING THE LARGER LABELS)and especially represents the worst in MUSIc in MANCHESter. (HOW FAT IS YOUR CITY AND HOW GRAND YOUR CENTRAL????) =-------mancunians take note --- YOUR CITY is crumbling and we are laughing at YOU ALL from a distance............. Jockey SLUTs is Best avoided in the USA--- wear black goggles or read EXP or ATX or EAR or OBSESSIVE EYE for an alternative view on what's happening and to read what the INDUSTRY driven media won't publish because there's no money in it for them-----......... IT's ALL A LOAD OF TRIPE anyway::::::::: yours PIG MASK

Jockey Slut realised that its readership was growing a few years back and as soon as that happens you become scared to cover things that are not going to be appreciated by the "majority", it is completely a question of money. By its very nature (glossy, colour, mainstream), it cannot afford to do anything else. As my mate said the other day while flicking through its pages, "I'm over this now". Mixmag, Jockey Slut, ... same thing. __ |¬¬ The Cosmic Crofter crofter@ehx.ednet.co.uk - http://www.ednet.co.uk/~ehx
