So Sunday was the 15th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. Does anyone still give a shit?Nirvana are pegged as a hugely influential and important band. People always say that Nirvana changed everything forever. But is that true? Sure, when Nirvana burst onto the scene they helped kill hair metal and brought in the era of "alternative music" (whatever the fuck that means) bu what does that even ...

I don't know anyone that enjoys music more than me, and if I ever met someone who did I'd probably be scared of them. Most people who know me tease me about my obsessive nature with music, which my video-game addled friends have frequently compared to a Pokemon mentality, I gotta get'em all. I've demonstrated OCD behavior in the past, most of which is under control now because I focused it all ...

A post a day for the entire workweek, I'm only doing this post to set that record benchmark for myself, a benchmark that will likely never be repeated or broken.Today (Friday) is the last day to request anything. I'll be posting requests for at least another week or so, but I'm not taking any more after tonight. Get them in while you can. Of course, asking for stuff doesn't mean you're going to...

This March marks the third anniversary (holy shit!) of The Lost Turntable, which is MP3 blog years is like 84 since they seem to pop up and vanish so quick. Fucking hipster pricks don't know how to commit to shit. Anyways, longtime readers may know that I celebrate this by temporally lifting my self-imposed ban on reposting previously featured tracks. So if there is anything I have ever posted...

With less than 30 records in my to-be-recorded queue, my computer area is reaching a level of non-clutter that it has not seen in years. If I somehow manage to become totally caught up in my record recording I'm kind of scared as to what might happen. It could be crazy, dogs and cats living together mass hysteria. Or maybe I'll just finally find that copy of the Metropolis soundtrack again, who...

Okay, this is important so pay attention. Live Nation and Ticketmaster want to merge. This is very bad news. Very bad indeed. Fuck it. Fuck it hard.Harsh language? Maybe, but it's appropriate. Live Nation and Ticketmaster fuck you already every time you're forced to buy tickets through their outdated, over-priced and illegal business practices. Charges that make no sense, horrid customer servic...

I'm boycotting weather. Who's with me?Ed Rush & Optical Present WormholeI hype Jerry's Records a lot, but I'm going to say it once more, if you are looking for some obscure grooves, hardcore house and woofer-throbbing DnB then you owe it to yourself to make the trek. Right now Jerry has hundreds, if not thousands of electronic 12'' singles and promos just laying around, so much that he doesn't ...

My best of 2008 list is out. Mine is obviously more credible than lists put out by Spin, Rolling Stone, NME, Q, or Pitchfork.However, I forgot to add some honorable mentions (links go to my reviews):Squarepusher: Just A Souvenir - Acid jazz on..well..acid as the DnB god shows that he can fucking ROCK a bass. Download The Glass Road now.The Fireman: Electric Arguments - So Paul McCartney and You...

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/Ramadan (is that over yet?)/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Saturnalia/Boxing Day. I was in Colorado over the holiday and had much fun with my Mom and my slightly insane step-family. Christmas with a 6-year-old is fucking exhausting.Whilst in the lovely land of little oxygen and excessive Christian pricks that is Colorado Springs, I did get a chance to chec...

I am once again going to apologize for the lack of updates as of late. Last time I blamed my job, this time I'm blaming the holidays (and Comcast for going down last night just when I was getting ready to hit "publish"). When I apologize next week I'll blame the moon.The Leather NunI Can Smell Your Thoughts (Remix)Falling Apart506 (Re-Visited)I am seriously running out of things to say about th...

My latest review:Evil Nine: They Live! - Zombie techno bitches!Now, as I was saying...Gothic Original Motion Picture SoundtrackPart 1Part 2The Devil Is An EnglishmanOkay, I don't know where to begin with this one. Gothic is a completely forgotten 1987 horror film by Ken Russell, who is best known for directing the film version of Tommy and the 1980 mindfuck Altered States. If Ken Russell doesn'...

Anyone want to set my car on fire so I can collect insurance? I'll repay you with a 12'' single of the Howard The Duck Theme. Seems like a fair trade to me.Nuclear AssaultFinal FlightDemolitionI knew little about this band until this weekend, when I picked up this 12'' single because of the sheer metalness of the band's logo. I went to Allmusic to read up on them and their synopsis of the band ...

I haven't posted a random rant in a while so for all of you who were missing them...A message to everyone: If you get an email that you think you absolutely have to share with everyone because it is incredibly funny/important/sad/gross and you forward it to everyone in your address book then you are a fucktard and should donate your computer to charity because you don't deserve it. In the past ...

In two days I went to two concerts; Matt & Kim and Girl Talk. Both shows were insane spectacles of awesomeness that were filled with skinny little hipsters that I wanted to kill. Note to guys, stop wearing v-neck t-shirts and Kanye shutter glasses. It's not cool, it's not funny, it's not "ironic," it's fucking annoying and I will smack you. And note to girls, if you're going to dance on stage a...

A quick round up of my latest reviews Marnie Stern: This Is It... - The best album of the year. No contest. Hadouken!: Music For An Accelerated Culture - Grime? Grindie? Fuck it, it's just stupid. ph10: Well Connected - Fun DnB. I like this record, even if the person who commented on my review seems to think I didn't. Mr. Meeble: Never Trust The Chinese - Not even half as good as that awes...

Go vote, while listening to obscure electronic music. The Andromeda Strain Original Electronic Soundtrack The Andromeda Strain is one of my favorite science-fiction books of all time, and is without a doubt my favorite Michael Crichton book. I used to be a big fan of that guy, until he lost his fucking mind and decided that writing about fake science made him a real scientist (FACT: anyone i...

Can someone be annoyed to the point of a nervous breakdown? The adjustment period of my new computer has not been....pleasant. Everything has worked great, except for the audio, which as you can kind of imagine is more than a little important for someone like me. I'm not even going to get into all the the problems I had with recording over the past 72 hours, because just thinking about them mak...

I got my degree today! I am now officially done with college (for the second time)! I graduated Magna Cum Laude too! And if I had any respect at all for the shitty educational institution that I escaped from then I would be proud of that. Next week I am finally getting a new computer, which means I can hook up my turntable again and start recording with ease. Can't wait, I got a lot of shit ba...
