Absolute Classic Masterpieces: February 2007
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28. So, Simon Reynolds and gang are slowly drifting away from the hauntology discussion and beginning to riff on "hipster metal.". I have noticed an increased metal presence on the intertubes lately, but I really don't feel like it's a full-fledged phenomenon at this point. Most of the discourse. Appears to revolve around the band Sunn O) ). And the occurrence of one influential DJ mixing metal with dubstep. Look at a band like Sisters of Mercy, who sounded very metal in their early d...

Friday, March 23. You're working your way through a maze, eating pellets. You turn a corner and come face to face with a ghost. You turn around to escape, but another ghost blocks your way. You have nowhere to go. The ghosts move in for the kill and you collapse, cursing, "Damn, they killed me again! Earlier this week I watched 8 BIT. His classic book on the workings and visual grammar of sequential art. Essentially, McCloud explains that the more basic and abstracted a character design, the more rea...

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: March 2007
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 29. Bridging the Media Gap. I never really planned this system, it just emerged organically from the intersection of my listening habits and my physical space. The truth is that I do occasionally purchase MP3s; I am not afraid. No doubt the AppleTV will nudge me more and more in the direction of digital downloads. Maybe that's a tiny evolutionary leap for the next generation. My questions is: How is this going to work with downloaded music? Sure, iTunes has been offering some digital book...

Absolute Classic Masterpieces: Wanted: More Failure
http://absoluteclassicmasterpieces.blogspot.com/2007/02/wanted-more-failure.html
Thursday, February 15. During lunch at a local sushi bar yesterday I was treated to some of Queen's greatest hits. Once that disc finished, KLF's The White Room. Started playing. After a couple of minutes, one of the young assistants behind the bar asked to nobody in particular, "What is this we're listening to? And then a few moments later, "Is this the KLFA? I should probably just be grateful that he recognized the music at all. Listening to "What Time Is Love? Guidebook, The Manual. Then The White Room.

Tuesday, February 20. Of Hoaxes and Context. And track the extent of the hoax on Hatto's Wikipedia entry. But I am most intrigued by something New Yorker. Critic Alex Ross wrote on his blog. He wrote, "You have here the beginnings of an excellent case study in how reputations and mythologies affect musical perception.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Formerly known as minimal robot.

Spent Time: Miles Davis Album Reviews
http://drclarkson.blogspot.com/2011/01/miles-davis-on-corner-album-review.html
Friday, 7 January 2011. Miles Davis Album Reviews. Here's two Miles Davis album reviews I wrote for the Head Heritage website in 2005. Thinkin' One Thing And Doin' Another. Recorded: Columbia Studios, New York City, June/ July 1972. Produced by Teo Macero. The most practical way to review this album is to split the review into the three recording sessions which make up the final release – each session featuring slight musician line-up differences:. Session 2: ‘One and One’ / ‘Helen Butt...Session 3: R...
