!) Has anyone heard the, um, I forget the name, something like The Land of
the Fat or The Fiat of the Lame or The Fart of Liam? Comments? Reviews?
How 'bout them thar lyrics?
@) Did anyone see the Third Eye Foundation (Federation?)/Circuit Bible show?
Does anyone know anything about Circuit Bible? I think the guy in it is
named David Lidden or something that sounds similar (I just can't remember
names tonight).
#) I feel really stupid, but could someone give a concise and clear
definition of "breakbeat?" Also, which tracks on Timeless, Torque, and the
Squarepusher albums have the Amen break? Speaking of Squarepusher, I just
heard the "Bum bum bum bum be dom" voice sample in some song, at about half
the speed, something vaguely r+bish.
$) Just got Deep Concentation, a comp of abstract hiphop/scratching on OM.
Pretty good on first listen, artists include Cut Chemist, Prince Paul,
X-Men, Latyrx, Peanut Butter Wolf, Wally and Swingsett. Although I haven't
tried it yet, the second CD has a CD-ROM old skool beatbox/sequencer!
%) I take back everything I said about DJ Spooky. I saw him spin on
Saturday, and I was blown out of the water! First half of his set
especially, he mixed it up, kept a groove going, but managed to defy every
expectation I had. The second helf was was more beat oriented, and not as
amazing, but still pretty good. I can't really comment on his technical
skills, but they're good enough to let his ideas come blasting out of the
speakers.
OK, enough of my crap.
Thanks much,
Sam
