Wow. Good show.

Fuck you Khar, ,I was so so happy while the page was loading, man.

Khar you broke my fucking heart. You have turned my heart into :psyduck:

Knew deep in my heart it was a fake, U2 will never break up, it would be just to easy, man.

The other day I sat down in front of my T.V. at 6pm to turn on channel 10 and play my nightly game of Simpsons repeat roulette, and it was a good day because the episode they were repeating was the one where Homer gets elected as Springfield's sanitation commissioner. It's one of my favourite Simpsons episodes: just flat-out hilarious from start to finish. It also features cameos from every member of U2 as themselves, and their scenes are some of the episode's funniest. Now I know they didn't write any of the episode, but I found myself thinking "These guys, they're okay."
-
Your post is too long for this thread.
-
Yeah.

This is starting to get out of hand.

the rusko/deadmau5 beef was amazing

Hello, U2 reissue.
-
There was a Rusko/Deadmau5 beef? Fuck, how did I miss that? Rusko is so much more legit that deadmau5.
-
Dem's fightin' words.

I recently heard this rusko person for the first time and it blew my mind. I was like "holy shit this song is fucking fantastic!"
then I heard the rest of his songs
:psyduck: ugh
-
It's just all like WOBWOBWOBWOB.
-
I'll take Deadmau5 over Rusko any day of the week. He put on the best dance party I've ever been to at Sasquatch.
-
whaaaat bull
you just don't have enough interest to find the good tracks yourself, I bet
i'll save you some time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2b7qXUlnE&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2b7qXUlnE&feature=related)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LobSS8oSXVU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LobSS8oSXVU) <- this is probably my favorite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eskb898zyEc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eskb898zyEc)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcE2nGE2fIk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcE2nGE2fIk) I love this song for its crazy textural quality, the fact that you can dance to it is just crema
Anyway, I've seen Rusko and deadmau5 both over the course of this year and for my part I don't think deadmau5 rock's the fucking room anywhere on Rusko's level. Also, Rusko seems to attract a less douchey crowd, but that's a pretty localized observation and it may just be because deadmau5 is more popular.
-
Rusko's highs are up there with anyone's but when he's shit he is total shit.
-
That's probably true. I dunno, I guess my main defense is that Rusko's made more tracks than deadmau5 that I care about and will listen to repeatedly, and I had more fun at his show.

This is just like that time Soulja Boy got into beef with Fabolous.

Quick, somebody post this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Go2DK9VtQ) video!

The fact that I find dubstep to be possibly the most boring thing ever probably factors into my decisionmaking.

Totally defensible. Besides, we're talking about a DJ. For all I know he's polished some of the stuff I dislike into gems by now.
-
Actually I run into all sorts of people who think DeadMau5 is dubstep, which makes sense as the average person 'round here thinks this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jhnxgJOrnM) counts. Or this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtMlB-BEMso), for that matter. DeadMau5 is relatively lifeless Tech House but he seems to tour with brostep-y sorts. He's more interesting than Rusko usually is, but that's a low bar to clear. He's not producing bad MIA tracks, either.
When dubstep actually existed it was more like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWPE_XvzrTs). These days it's actually more House than Garage. You don't hear many claps on the 3s or snares on the 2s and 4s from the underground.

Only funny 'cause it's true (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOhWSGbhxAo&feature=related).

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way.
-
I don't like dubstep for the most part either, but every once in a while a track catches me off guard and I'll like it. Rusko was surprisingly entertaining when I saw him in Chicago but if I had to choose a dog in this fight I'd go with deadmau5. I just have a soft spot for house oriented music.
Anyway, you'll never catch me trying to categorize any of these guys definitively anyway. Deadmau5 had "Soma" and "Strobe" on the same damn album anyway so fuck if I know what to call him exactly. At what point do you identify these guys by the beats vs. what kind of effects they tend to favor?

See here (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,22467.msg962211.html#msg962211). Not a lot has changed in the last two months, except more and more dubstep OGs are making House music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uGrooVLjhc).
In a nutshell
- Are the beats horribly unquantized (ie are they sloppy)? It's Wonky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht5VaNI-RfA&feature=related).
- Is it vaguely afro-caribbean in its percussion? Does it have a 4/4 beat? It's Funky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDoSFTc4ymI&feature=related).
- Is it just incessant, phallic bass slamming? It's brostep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr21MblV0Bw).
etc.
-
I read your file and it was very nice but it doesn't change the fact that I'm dumb. :psyduck:
-
It's not that you're dumb, so much that people still refer to things as "dubstep" that is dumb. It's about as descriptive as "indie rock", these days.
-
but indie rock is my favorite genre
actually i think it's tied with electronica
edit: terrible pagebreak is terrible, here is a crossover duck from the other forum

Oh I didn't realize flying lotus was considered dubstep.
Do I call it wonky dubstep or just wonky now?
-
Music lingo, HOW DOES IT FUCKING WORK?

-
Rusko and Deadmau5 are both pretty soulless at this point, although they have both had their high points.
Beats Antique makes them both look like plastic wind-up toys, though.
-
Oh I didn't realize flying lotus was considered dustep.
Wait, really? (If this actually is sarcasm, forgive me, I'm only half paying attention to what's going on in here)
-
I don't really consider the plastic toys thing to be a drawback though. I'll probably know when the singularity hits when my J3 spontaneously spits out my new favorite album.
-

Legitimately. The electronic scene is so fragmented these days I don't know what's what.
or am I just dumb?
-
I mean really? in the sense that I had no idea Flying Lotus was considered dubstep either. Guess who has two thumbs and has no fucking idea what dubstep is!
-
According to KvP anyway
-
We should download that Mixtape he linked to
-
Flylo's always been all over the place, but he's essentially a dubstep DJ who was weaned on J Dilla instead of whatever Grime and UK Garage records are considered seminal in South London. He pals around with the Hyperdub folk and he essentially mentors a lot of LA artists whose influences are much more apparent (Teebs / Gaslamp Killer / Tokimonsta / Eskmo etc.) He's also been called "IDM" but that's just what tends to happen when you include jazz influences in your electronic music. He's not a great example of any particular sound, but he's not really that great in general either. Daedalus does the same schtick better and has been at it for longer. He just doesn't have the blood pedigree.
-
just to clarify: rusko was smoking weed & deadmau5 called security to report him lmao
-
Speaking of Tokimonsta, she just blew my mind with some info about my home state (http://blog.tokimonsta.com/2010/11/pic-wisconichcock.html).
-

according to rusko
-
As far as I can tell, people who don't know anything about electronic music mostly just think dubstep is things with wobble bass. Which is sad. But I went to see Vaski and Excision and had a great time so I can't really be talking.
-
Hence the WOBWOBWOB joke a page ago.

Me?

Aha! I knew it couldn't have just been me when I heard Cosmogramma and thought it was a big load of boring
-
I like Flying Lotus. I'm more of the "Let's put this on in the background" type than someone who'll sit down with a pair of headphones and just absorb though. I don't really want music to hold my attention most of the time.

How many dubstep fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
It doesn't matter, it's still gonna wobble.
alternately
How many dubstep fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
100. One to screw it in and 99 to wait for it to drop.
-

according to rusko
deadmau5 hasn't denied it either
-
yeah cos that would accomplish so much
-
Whomp whomp vrudda vrudda wub wub
-
yeah cos that would accomplish so much
i think if anyone in electronic music would rat out rusko it would be deadmau5, dude is a twerp
-
hey khar this is your thread so i'll post it here but you like soft cell right? did you know this (http://vimeo.com/10458506) (NSFW) existed? isn't that wild
-
I refuse to believe this is the same band that did that faggy version of "Tainted Love"
-
Of course I fucking knew that existed. Why do you think I fucking love Marc Almond?
Here's Soft Cell with JG Thirlwell covering Suicide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqrH4wU9ydY). Here's Marc Almond singing fucking death hymns with Current 93 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWn1G-LMvNI). Here's Marc Almond pouring honey over flys in the video for Coil's cover of Tainted Love which is on permanent display in the Museum of Modern Art, New York (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo3TUtRnZi4). And here he is covering Days of Pearly Spencer on Top of the Pops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk0GJDGRJh4). Marc Almond is a fucking God.
-
I only just remembered Thirlwell's nationality.
