Edit: Just listened Skrillex: Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (discussed on page three of this thread): Epic stuff.
It's my fourteen year old brother's favorite song... seeing as, aside from Skrillex, his favorite stuff is Katy Perry and Usher, that says all that needs to be said about Skrillex. At least from a disapproving big brother's perspective.

i am amazed that your brother listens to that with YOU in the house...
Sometime ago I discovered an interesting group back from the 80's and I'm not sure, if it was because of a thread around theese boards or just YouTube random walk. Without further rambling: Talk Talk.

By the way, Chums, my dad agrees with you wholeheartedly on the "good dubstep" "bad dubstep" thing. My dad liked dubstep before it was cool.

If my dad was younger, he would, by admission, be SUCH a hipster!

I had never heard of Skrillex before...
I'll be glad to forget all about him

So he was a hipster before it was even a word - a hipsquared.
actually? Yeah. Him and my mum. They would enjoy so much when Blue Monday would come on in the clubs, because the floor would clear and they could dance on their own.
You and me both. Doesn't look like he's going anywhere any time soon though.

I pondered posting that cover, but seeing as they're going for the note-for-note, sample-for-sample type vibe, I didn't bother, seeing as I find the cover just as vapid as the original... I mean, it's cool that they figured out how to do it using that gear, but if it had been a genuine rock arrangement, that'd have been a lot less gimmicky, and more... actually cool.
On a totally different topic, I've only now gotten around to listening to Flaming Lips. Embryonic's a goddam hell of an album.
There are certain realities of going to American public high schools that one must, if not embrace, at least pay enough attention to to properly lampoon...
Random hoping led me today to an interesting album: SymphonicSlam. It's a bit weird (not as much as Cromagnon), but it's a good weird.

He might expand his tastes in due time. It took me quite some years to understand simplier forms of jazz (John Coltrane is still a bit beyond me). Keep him exposed to some quality music and be patient.

Earlier stuff is better. [/hipster]

Having a longwinded argument on Facebook with someone trying to convince me that Rush is deeper than Gang of Four and Aesop Rock put together. Because Geddy Lee can sing and play keyboard and bass at the same time. And that makes him deep, guys.

By that logic, this guy is the deepest musician... in the world.
Also: something has to be added to the discussion about covers. Badly performed songs are just bad - not much harm done there. What's worse, is a cover that rips out everything, that made the original meaningful and filled the husk with generic sound, that has no connection with the song whatsover. An example I encountered was RDM: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Bohemian Rhapsody, Purple Haze and many more mutiliated classics. I'm not eager to throw negative opinions, but something has gone horribly wrong.

I was wondering if you folks could help me find a performer and/or album.
It's a total drum n bass album that samples The Blair Witch project in a few of the first tracks. I could have sworn the performer was GodLikeMouse but, according to his site, his first album came out in 2009. I came across this disc in 2003 (the disc is now lost).
