I buy a lot of compilations. When it comes to purchasing music, they’re the best bang for your buck, because you get a lot of tunes for very little money per unit. The music industry knows this all too well. As music becomes ever more disposable and difficult to market individual artists, many labels have [...]

This month’s topic is the introduction of Top 40 artists sampling house songs and rapping over them. While ViVi was certain the 2008 Mims remix of Enur’s ‘Calabria’ had spurred this phenomenon, of course, Pitbull was the first, and true pioneer of this style. Well wait, before we rip on Pitbull, let’s look at a [...]

I’m gonna assume that anybody reading this blog understands why GAGNAM STYLE is a shitty song. For anyone with any passion for music, that goes without saying. Okay, fine. It’s a stupid song with a stupid dance to go with it. If you’re cheesy enough to derive enjoyment from it (clearly most human beings are), [...]

I [...]

More recent studies on the subject have determined that it’s actually 5% of the population. Whatever the number, there is a good portion of [...]

I can’t decide whether this song is shit or not. I’ve been wrong about this sort of thing before. It’s by Russian EXTREME HARD SOUND producer, DARKLIME, and is offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD on a GABBER compilation, titled MASH BARZ ONE YEAR: ANTISTATIC TAKEOVER. ON THE SHIT SIDE: I don’t think distorted 909 kicks [...]

In the PREVIOUS POST you will find a BREAKCORE RECORD that I love, which is a rare occurence. I’ve written, in a PAST POST about my problems with the Breakcore genre. Now, here’s an example of noisy garbage that I just don’t get… FARO is the first track on a free EP, called ANEURISM, by [...]
