Under the jurisprudence of the ...
In this room, she serves me some vital grapefruit juice to pang my soul. But today the ambrosia ran out and bottled mineral water was the only alternative.

The Deja Vu Crowd
We never get excited.
We have forfeited outward elation to be witnesses not critics.
Our senses have been blunted and deadened.
Culture is no longer our pleasure.
Culture has become our daily sustenance,
On the train, in our head, on the screen.
Our bodies are becoming irrelevant.
There is no need to move or to dance.
A smile, a wink or a nod are enough...here and there.

The Chap and Cursor Minor
14-02-06, Point Ephemere, Paris
The Lo Recordings night at Point Ephemere was certainly a highlight of the past few months.
Cursor Minor plays electropop wig outs with endearing wit and a quaint approach.
The Chap played a pummeling set, no dead air, just punchy avant-pop...dedicating songs and to Nokia toying with musique concrete elements. The Fash crowd decided it was now or never and they did some studied moshing with their trilby hats and Hoxton fins.
This is Panos from The Chap, he was instrumental in their new and surprising novo-barbershop track.

Plastic Pleasures
Much pleasure can derived from compiling music for others. Finding a thread that runs throughout, choosing possible tracks, numbering them, refining the selection, incorporating transitions and making the cover are some of the stages of the compilation-making process.
Two bands, old and new, start off this compilation. I discovered them thanks to 20 Jazz Funk Greats, a wonderful MP3 resource that provides some blistering barnacles and great commentary. Chromatics' "Healer" is a polished kraut-disco shuffler whose mysterious understatement is great to draw the listener in.Then we have Fire Engines and their assured and crooner postpunk which notches things up a little. Akiko Yano is a bit of the odd one out but that's alright.
This compilation is very much devoted to bass music and electro rap going from the crossover Sir Mix-A-Lot hit "I like Big Buts" to more obscure stuff like Twilight 22 "Siberian Nights, which actually is very apt considering the current weather. JJ Fad "Supersonic" is probably a little weak, but they'll have to live w/ it.
