Hate f-cking Leonardo DiCaprio
Bobbie Brown, who was Tommy Lee's blonde before he married Pamela Anderson, known as one of the hottest rock groupies of the late 80s and early 90s, has written a memoir. She and Lee had a violent relationship. And when he left her for Pam, Bobbie says she started "hate-f-cking whoever out of anger". One of the people she claims she hate f-cked was Leonardo DiCaprio. This is before Titanic. Here's how Bobbie describes it:
"We went back to his place that night. Leo had barrettes pulling back his dirty blond hair. He turned on some music and started singing the TLC song 'Waterfalls' to me. It was weird -- I wasn't into it at all."
I want you to picture that, please. I want you picture Leonardo DiCaprio working a broad by singing Waterfalls.
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby is good to me"
And then Bobbie says he pulled down his pants to show her his giant cock.
"When I pulled his pants down I was like, 'Holy sh-t.' I'd just been with Tommy Lee, but Leo looked huge. But the whole thing was awkward, and we didn't hang out much after that."
So… Leonardo DiCaprio's signature move back in the day was to get a girl horny by throwing down some TLC before whipping out his big dick which he still hadn't learned how to use properly.
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
Check out Leo sunning his face in New York the other day. Does a big dick make up for lame ass moves? Would you rather an average sized dick on a guy who doesn't sing Waterfalls at you before sex?

Edge of a hurricane at Hopkinsville, KY
At Hopkinsville, KY, we were supposed to be a bit outside of Ike's path, according to a weather map I saw on Saturday night. That map underestimated the situation. Satellite photos, taken as Ike passed over the region Sunday morning, show a wide band of hurricane-influenced weather.
We had some very strong wind here. The Kentucky New Era reports wind gusts up to 64 mph.
I slept late rather than going to church Sunday morning, because I had to work until midnight on Sunday night. It wasn't very restful sleep. I woke again and again to the wind's howl as it ripped through the trees. About 10:00 a.m., every other sound in the house halted abruptly, signaling a power failure. I was sorry that I hadn't at least made a pot of coffee.
When Dennis got home from church, he said that the streets in Hopkinsville and the roads on the way home were full of tree limbs, small and large. He wasn't surprised about the power outage because he had stopped to talk to our neighbor down the road, who had a large tree lying across electric lines in his front yard.
When I left for work, the electricity was still out, but the worst of the wind had passed. Several other employees had stories of trees down and power out. One lady said that Madisonville, a town about 35 miles north of Hopkinsville, looked like a tornado had gone through it.
The electricity was back on when I got home late that night. A lot of branches, most of them already dead, are scattered around the yard. None of them fell on anything important. All of our trees managed to hang on and stay in the ground. The wind ripped out the hinges of one door on the old bathroom vanity which is still sitting on the carport. Now I'll have to fix it before anyone will want it from Freecycle.
We were fortunate that we didn't suffer any severe damage. Our worst complaint is that, with all that wind, we didn't get one drop of rain!

As the bright minds among all of you have probably figured out by now, Richard Stallman is not a particular fan of Mono. Let's just get right to the meat of what RMS had to say. "We should systematically arrange to depend on the free C# implementations as little as possible. In other words, we should discourage people from writing programs in C#," Stallman believes, "Therefore, we should not include C# implementations in the default installation of GNU/Linux distributions, and we should distribute and recommend non-C# applications rather than comparable C# applications whenever possible."
The risk, as he calls it, is not unique to Mono - any free implementation of C# would be problematic. "The danger is that Microsoft is probably planning to force all free C# implementations underground some day using software patents," Stallman warns, "This is a serious danger, and only fools would ignore it until the day it actually happens. We need to take precautions now to protect ourselves from this future danger."
At the same time, Stallman is a bit vague and unclear when he continues and says, verbatim:
The problem is not in the C# implementations, but rather in Tomboy and other applications written in C#. If we lose the use of C#, we will lose them too. That doesn't make them unethical, but it means that writing them and using them is taking a gratuitous risk.
I'm not entirely sure what he means by all this. On the one hand, he's explaining that we should avoid using C# and Mono or any other Free C# implementation; on the other hand, he's content with having Free implementations. He's arguing against writing Free applications in C#, but he's happy there are Free C# tools. I'm sorry, but I just don't get it.
I must say that I'm personally a little confused by what RMS is trying to say, but maybe that's just a translation issue where my Dutch brain is having problems with this particular English text. Maybe our dear and loving OSNews readers can shine a light on this one?

ASUS GTX 580 Review
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the latest iteration of the venerable first person shooter series, Call of Duty. Despite its long, successful pedigree, the game is not without substantial criticism and controversy, especially on the PC. Aside from the extremely short campaign and lack of innovation, the PC version's reception was also marred by its lack of support for user-run dedicated servers, which means no user-created maps, no mods, and no customized game modes. You're also limited to 18-player matches instead of the 64-player matches that were possible in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Despite all this, the game has been well received and the in-house IW 4.0 engine renders the maps in gorgeous detail, making it a perfect candidate for OCC benchmarking. You start off the single player missions playing as Private Allen and jump right into a serious firefight. This is the point where testing will begin. Testing will be done using actual game play with FPS measured by Fraps.
- In-game settings to Maximum
- 4xAA
- 16xAF
- Fraps measured Gameplay
Higher = Better
When you overclock the ASUS GTX 580, it is just about the fastest video card available to play this wildly popular installment of the Call of Duty franchise through all four resolutions. The only card faster is the dual GPU HD 5970. The differential at 1920 x 1200 is only three FPS between the ASUS GTX 580 and HD 5970, with both cards overclocked of course.

Betrayal of Love and Freedom – Man Naturally Cures Himself of Bipolar Disorder
In 1998, author Paul Huljich was diagnosed by psychiatrists as suffering from Bipolar Disorder, also known as manic depression. That year, he experienced a full mental breakdown, lost his rights as a citizen and was made a ward of the state.
Informed that there was no cure, that he would eventually relapse, and that he would be dependent on medication for the rest of his life, Huljich traveled to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for treatment and later admitted himself to the Menninger Clinic in Kansas to more fully understand and address his condition. Aided by research and his background in organic foods, Huljich developed a diet, exercise, and wellness plan that would help him end his dependence on medication to cure himself and find true peace of mind.
Since the year 2000, Huljich has not taken any psychotropic or psychiatric medication or any medication related to mental illness. Nor has he suffered any relapse of depression or manic depression, or received further treatment from any psychiatrist, therapist, or doctor regarding mental illness. He has never felt better.
In Entering the Healing Ground¸ author and soul activist Francis Weller, offers a new vision of grief and sorrow. He reveals the hidden vitality in grief, uncovered when the heart welcomes the sorrows of our life and those of the world. We are ripened in times of loss, made more human by the rites of grief. Through story, poetry and insightful reflections, Francis offers a meditation on the healing power of grief

I'd like to get more into electronic music
I've always been mainly into quite noisy guitar music but recently I've been enjoying more electronic stuff. I think it had something to do with Liars' last album, I've been enjoying that and some others like The Knife, Errors' newer stuff, Holy Fuck, and Fuck Buttons. I was already listening to people like Aphex Twin and Kraftwerk and other well known 'indie-friendly' stuff like that and I like them too. But yeah, I'd like some recommendations please.
Gold Panda's 'Lucky Shiner' is one of my favourite electronic albums in recent memory.
Four Tet
especially the last couple of records. There is Love in You, Everything Ecstatic and Pink have all been excellent.
Four Tet's Rounds is probably a better entry point into his work tho, no?
depends how you feel about the acoustic sounding early stuff. It actually put me off originally.
Balam Acab- Wander/Wonder
one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Put headphones on and submerge yourself in it.wonton, DaddyorChips, -dan-, DanielKelly, Luis_Carruthers, and AfraidOfOwls this'd this
came here to post this
i like how theres a small group of people here who are properly into that album.
last EP was a bit rubbish though
It's one of those perfect time/place albums
that you love if it ever "clicks" properly for you. I know there are better overall records from 2011, but this remains my favourite for those true moments of realisation I've had with it.
The last EP was a bit poor, I know it's a bit presumptious of me to hope he goes back to his former sound for his next LP...but I don't want him to sully the memory of W/W like Memory Tapes has done for Seek Magic with the rubbish follow ups.
i dunno..
i think it's near-perfectly constructed tbh. Just the way it has such a clear identity and stuff. Hope this doesn't put people off, but i haven't really heard an album that does that so well since sigur ros' ( )
Are we still talking about Wander/Wonder?
Because I wouldn't disagree with you at all, I think it's fantastic. I only say there may be a few "better" records from 2011 as there were a couple slightly more ambitious and varied LPs, but W/W remains my personal favourite.
i think the disagreement is that i think it's really ambitious. Like, how many artists have the confidence to just go and try to make the most beautiful album they can. Especially for their first one.
Cos i reckon it's very few good ones.
I reckon loads do!
The difference being that few, if any, achieve the same level of beauty as W/W does. But that means it is more a question of ability than ambition.
- Comaboy, pichaelmarker, Wooly31, Mnemosene, and dis-charge this'd this
- scomatsho this'd this
- justanothersheeldz this'd this
Oni Ayhun - OAR003
This is the second time I've recommended this in 2 days. While this is definitely edging towards house, if you like the Knife at all, give this a go.
You might also take a peek at Dust Collision by Kate Wax. Its a bit slow, and very minimal compared to the stuff you mentioned, but I've found it very rewarding.
have a listen to Holy Other - Held
you'll like that. really good record from last yearwonton, badmanreturns, and iizcallum this'd this
yeah that's an amazing album
get the EP too
Seeing as you like both Balam Acab and Holy Other
I'd recommend Mister Lies. There's an EP from last year and the new album is streaming on Pitchfork:

any love for Detrimentalist from him?
I have odd memories of watering my newly laid lawn at 6am in my pyjamas whilst listening to this.
yeah its good
bit of a return to some of his older sounds. Sajtban is a classic
- pichaelmarker, Luis_Carruthers, and jimitheexploder this'd this
...are some of the best electronic artists (see also the page 2). You can't go wrong with most of them.
Well based on what you already like
I'd definitely listen to Severant by Kuedo. One of the best records I've picked up on through DiS.robellovich this'd this
The Field
Yesterday and Today is my favourite but From Here We Go Sublime and Looping State of Mind are essential too. Walls are on the same label, their Coracle album also hits the spot.
Came here to post From Here We Go Sublime
Not my area of expertise at all
But I think Amon Tobin's pretty great, I don't know if anyone else does. This is a good track
And when Squarepusher's on form it's pretty incredible
Assuming you just want two or three personal recommendations rather than
the whole "blah blah electronic music is massive this is like asking what guitar music is good" argument (which I'm sure someone will do later), then three favourites that spring to mind are:
Michael Mayer - Immer
Kashiwa Daisuke - April.#02
Blue Sky Black Death - Noir
All 10/10 for sure.
Also bookmark this topic:
My favorite DiS topic ever. Almost everything amazing from electronic music is here.
Recent stuff: FaltyDL - Hardcourage
Really nice record, plenty of melodic stuff, not too difficult but really really good.
Obviously there's an absolute shit-ton of stuff though, but this is a good album to start with.kilgore-trout, pichaelmarker, and JonBeat this'd this
Tangerine Dream
Steve Roach
The Orb
Ultramarine - Every Man and Woman is a Star
808 State
Meat Beat Manifesto
Moving Shadow records [early 90`s]

One hell of a song
Essential listen
It always reminds me of Gamesmaster for some reason.
Holy shit!
So much arrogance.heartworms this'd this
Start with
Electronic Panorama
Orbital - Funny Break (Weekend Ravers mix)
One of the most underrated Orbital songs. Basically a turbocharged version of Funny Break (One Is Enough). While the original version is very nice, this is 100x better.
It's simply astonishing!
Also I highly recommend you to check this classic interactive guide to electronic music (made in Flash)
It includes almost all subgenres, with short (sometimes funny) descriptions and 30 seconds samples. You will learn a lot about electronic music. Better start with House and Downtempo.

Rustie? Jesus...
What a waste of decibels. Ultra Thizz is the worst thing I've heard in 2011...
With very few exceptions, loads of unknown artists. These names don't tell me anything.
dry ya eyes mate
That Rustie album is the album Daft Punk should have made instead of Human After All.
I dunno tell us how amazing Fatboy Slim is or something.
I'm just teasing dude. I like a bit of Underworld and Orbital I mean everyone does. Just trying to show that there is a boring nostalgic always looking back mentality with a lot of indie/dance fans. Coming into threads like this can be depressing when there is so much good stuff going on now and the last few years and you see old people coming in and talking about Underworld for the millionth time. Can't wait for twenty years time when you find LCD Soundsystem and Electroclash.
You cry and laugh a lot, dude. You have a problem.
"Can't wait for twenty years time when you find LCD Soundsystem and Electroclash."
Your wait is over. I know very well about LCD Soundsystem & Electroclash. I know a lot of good electronic stuff, old and new. You try way to hard to be sarcastic. And guess what? It doesn't work against me.
"I know a lot of good electronic stuff, old and new".
"With very few exceptions, loads of unknown artists".
The new artists that I know are not on his list
Got it? They're way too unknown.
Let's take totally random, Jahilyya Fields. On last.fm there are just 679 listeners: http://www.last.fm/music/Jahiliyya+Fields
That means known to you? ;)
Unknown doesn't mean bad tho
just means that more people need to hear it, which is why I post about stuff like that if I find it and like it.
The Jahilyya Fields album is beautiful and really odd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgV6VdDYvfA
Unknown doesn't mean bad tho: I agree
But it was really necessary to pot your comment(s) on my Underworld sub-topic? Just because they're more mainstream?
I think there is to much high esteem and respect for a lot of older artists. I think its fun and necacerry to burst that nostalgic, boring bubble and move on. Make a clean break and see things with fresh eyes again. Espesh with stuff thats already had its reaprasial so many times like Underworld or whoever have. It was good when it happened and if you get joy from it, wicked. Personaly I'm all for moving on and calling it shit, fuck the past and move on.
I don`t why you should fuck the past though
Why does time have to be so important when it comes to music? Dance/Electronic music is just archaic revival stuff anyway. Technically things change but it`s all just tapping into the same things.
because its more fun to live in the now
there is always some kinda foot in the past but if you stick to it to rigidly then things get really stale and you end up just listening to The Orb or something. Its just more fun to go with the flow of new stuff and you get the enjoyment of it, get moived along with it. You find the odd bit of old stuff as you go since it always crops up and it shows its self in new ways but you never get to washed up in it and bogged down. Plus there is so much stuff going on right now that I don't reall ysee the point of looking back that much.
there are clubs to go to to hear it, a whole social thing going on. You don't get that if you're so nostalgic. Young peeps these days are so happy to be nostalgic and ignore the good shit going on right now. The internet has made it so boring, safe and easy to be nostalgic and dissmiss whats going on right now that people get sucked into it and its a shame. Its a good quality in music to sack off the past some of the best genres have come out of that kind of move. Punk, acid house, grime, whatever all sacked off people before them and it made them better for it.
Yeah but because of this internet malarkey you have the freedom to follow your own path and explore the past and present. You can live in your own little musical world if you choose.
and the new stuff I post now is only gonna be peoples nostalgic shit in years to come and a lot of people will kick themselves in 20 years when they could have lived it instead of just lookign at old stuff all the time.
But does it really matter though if what you`re listening to right now is giving you a buzz/what you want. Plus people are always gonna miss out on good shit because the amount of music out there.

Unbelievable that it was this far into the thread before Underworld was first mentioned. Their importance cannot be underestimated even if (if we're being truthful) the newer stuff, while good, isn't quite on a par with the older stuff. Only because the older stuff is incredible.
I dunno aint everyone bored of Underworld, Orbital, etc now a days?
Its all old people bullshit now, everyone knows it, everyones heard it, they had their critical re-aprasials years and years ago, they where good in their time. Its kinda like going into an indie thread and suggesting Oasis. Come on guys, get with the new shit.
The awful truth: a lot of the new shit isn't on the level of these older and better artists
jimitheexploder, nobody stops you to listen to the new stuff. I enjoy SOME of the new stuff, I don't listen only to older artists.
A lot of the new shit may be technically more complex or diverse, but it lacks the melody, the warmth, the catchiness of the old stuff. It's simply too amorphous or cold; almost nothing memorable. Just a bunch of sounds without strong songwriting and arrangements behind. It enters in one ear and exits on the other one.
Few new artists can compare with oldies like Underworld, Orbital, The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, FSOL, Global Communication, Spooky, Kraftwerk, Biosphere, Fluke, Apoptygma Berzerk, Covenant, VNV Nation, Tangerine Dream, Leftfield, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Jean Michel Jarre, Faithless, Gary Numan, The Human League, Ritchie Hawtin, Speedy J etc. Those few artists are indeed great.
Artists like Underworld or Kraftwerk deserve to be mentioned often when talking about electronic music in the same way as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones are mentioned in rock music.
"Come on guys, get with the new shit". But don't forget the classics. The new shit is based (sometimes derivative) on the work of those classics.DriftingSkeleton this'd this
there is a strain of electronic music fans that only look back
and its really odd. When people make this thread in 20 years time people like you will be checking out Kuedo and DJ Rashad for teh first time and saying they're classics but they'll be ignored in the day and age they where made. Doesn't it get boring just listening to old shit.Luis_Carruthers, robellovich, DriftingSkeleton, and AfraidOfOwls this'd this
It doesn't get boring
You don't have enough time just to listen to all old stuff ONCE. There's a lot of stuff to listen since the synths were invented.
"there is a strain of electronic music fans that only look back"
Some of them only look back because (surprise, surprise) they find the old stuff to be better. They find the new stuff boring, annoying, or uninspired. Instead Skrillex and Deadmau5, they choose to listen to Daft Punk and Groove Armada for example. They refuse to be hip and cool just for the sake of it.
Groove ArmadaComaboy this'd this
Why are you crying?
I got it: you're too hipster for Groove Armada. You only listen to new obscure shit, that nobody ever heard of it. I guess I'm wasting my precious time explaining you some obvious facts. Sayonara.

since this is like a recommendation thread for someone just getting into electronic music it makes sense to recommend 'classics'? I mean not that I'm a fan of, say, Underworld
plus listening to new electronic music is total ballache because so much is produced all the time. I mean the rolling dance mongrel thread is on like 350 replies already and february's not even over.
anyway I'm not really sure what my point is. DJ Rashad is amazing.
just stiring shit up a bit
so we can have a thread like the hip-hop one the other day. Where we get an awsome nieve request for music and give suggestions but then get into a debate about boring old stuff and Groove Armada.
But yeah thats whats so awsome about electronic music so much is being made that you pretty much neevr have to look that far back to be really entertained. IF its dawnting thats good, it means there is a fuck load of stuff to wade thru, its always movign forward and moving fast and thats a big draw for me.
"just stiring shit up a bit"
Don't stir it too much. You could drown in it...
I love these arguements you get in
highly entertaining
me too
reminds me of school, when Beaucoup Fish came out and everyone was like whats this strange underground bull shit no one has heard of and I was like what you on about this is the new shit everyone will love it in years to come.
Remember deep blue has EAL
Make allowances...
idn`t mean to this because I don`t agree
A lot of shits all over new stuff i
I dunno I like some of the stuff you posted up thread
but a lot of it doesn't stand up now a days bar the odd one, maybe some Autechre. The rest are outshadowed by a lot of the new ones I posted. All just opinion tho innit. I can stand listening to The Orb or 808 State nowadays it sounds embarasing and really dated to me. Same with Orbital and Underworld for the most part. If its what moves you its all cool, but yeah there is some insane new shit that deserves a push, since its so current and damn good and its good to play it off the old stuff cos its healthy to move forward and enjoy stuff now.
I reckon seeing stuff as dated is the wrong mentality to have when it comes to music. If it`s good it`s good. I listen to music for it`s abstact/subjective qualities rather the just for the lastest sounds/technical side of things.
I don't reallt believe that if something is good at one point that it has to be good forever
Context changes, ideas get played out and watered down, nostalgia fuzzies the idea of what something is or was. Things change, peoples tastes change. Its all good. Some things come and go and sound good again something don't, its just the way of things. Some stuff is very of its time and some stuff isn't. Thats the same for new stuff as it is old stuff.lemonbrickcombo, Wooly31, and Luis_Carruthers this'd this
And to me...
The Orb, Underworld, Orbital, Leftfield, etc all sound really dated and played out. The ideas have been run dry, things have moved on and its cool to live it in the past. Plus its fun to play heel against the old guard to give more attention to vital up and comers that deserve way more love.
This thread has turned into an Old v New argument..
...I think that it is important to recommend some old classics ( though 20 YouTube links to Underworld tracks is a tad farcical) however you can find info about old classics on 101 other websites. What is valuable to be able to use word of mouth to discover recent tunes. I value Dis because I discovered Talabot, Shackleton, Demdike Stare through these forums. This knowledge is far more useful than some halfwit saying You must listen to Groove Armada and the Human League.
Accidental this
Balls to this old and new stuff, quality on a personal level is what matters. Albums like Orbus Terrarum sound completely out of time and will always be interesting to me.
Ritchie Hawtin, Speedy J
And many others you list, still going strong.
Less said about Human League the better.

..... there are loads I've probably missed but all these are good IMO
- -dan- this'd this
I find the amount of albums in this thread weird...
It's a singles based culture so grab yourself some label retrospectives and jump on from there. Once you've figured out what you like it's easier to narrow it down a bit.
Can't go wrong with Trax, Nu-Groove, Moving Shadow, Hyperdub, Warp, Hessle Audio, Planet E, Basic Channel as a starterjimitheexploder this'd this
- DiSisAcid this'd this
ah, shit yeah, and Ice Cream Records and
there's no retrospective for it but anything with DPR should be essential too.
I recommend albums in threads like these
because its how I generally prefer to listen to music. I think the fact that it is a singles based culture is probably why I haven't gotten into electronic as much as other genres, but there are still plenty of full legths worth investigating.
If anything the singles culture made things like house and techno seem really impenetrable, particularly seeing as the genres I got into when I was first getting into music were all album based.
I know what you mean, I had the same struggles
when I first got into dance music. Generally with dance music once you've found a label you like you can work out from there though. It's less about the producer and more about who's releasing their stuff generally.
depepends how you go into it I guess. If you want to be some kind of completist then its going to be hard. But its so easy just to get the odd single and move around the genres. If you dig what you hear cool, look around. Dunno why anyone would get put off because they're is so much going on. Its prob one of the best things about it if you ask me.
I guess a key component of album based cultures
Is revisiting them and also spending time exploring their greater depths. This is almost certainly less the case with singles, I'd imagine fewer people revisit the best singles from, say, 2010 than they do with albums.
But the difference doesn't mean one is good/right and the other is bad/wrong, but they suit individual preferences to varying degrees.
I dunno
Some of my favourte labels haven't ever realsesed an album. You still hear singles from whenever in clubs or in mixes. Things come back into trend and fall off again. I mean is there less care in singles on labels like Hessle Audio and Skull Disco? Those two labels haven't released an album, just a comp or two of singles and new stuff.
It tends to be a lot more expensive and sort of exclusionary though
Until people like boomkat, bleep etc started letting you buy digital versions of stuff it restricted lots of people who didn't have turntables. Even now, not everything you want to hear is available.
I'm a giant music fan and I probably spend more on music than just about anything, but because I've moved around so much I've never invested in a really decent stereo or turntables. Sacrilege I know, but there are plenty like me who lack the means to do so, let alone to keep up with the rush of singles that get put out on a weekly basis. That's if you've even got access to a good record shop which stocks that kind of stuff. Living away from the UK, there aren't many shops or mailorder places that cover even a portion of the stuff we talk about in rolling dance mongrel.
I love singles and I love the idea of EPs as they are almost always more digestible and higher quality than all but the best albums, but their availability is problematic.
Yeah I tend to just post albums in these kinds of threads
Cos I know thats how people like this want to experience their music. Its tough enough getting people to listen to the good new stuff as it is without posting a million singles or even EPs too.badmanreturns this'd this
It's albums that really got me into electronic music
(Burial, Benga, Skream, 2562, Martyn) and from there I started to delve into singles and EPs, but even to this day I find it kinda overwhelming. That's why I'd always recommend albums to people who are just starting to explore.
there definitely are ones worth investigating
But generally the best moments of every one of the sub-genres are on eps, white labels, etc. Most of the time when you give an electronic artist an album length, with very few exceptions, it ends up being a bit of a droney ambient mess compareed to the immediacy of the tracks they release as singles.
As I listen to more drone/ambient stuff
This is no bad thing to me ;)
you can easily go wrong with trax and nu-groove - there's some absolute shite on those labels haha. i feel ya though (y)
ah well I meant the retrospectives
they are pretty much wall to wall bangers on therefuck_this_band this'd this
I don't even know what 'electronic music' is anymore

Cheers, thread.ditch_easter this'd this
hey op, i notice that you also have a mclusky themed username, so i assume we're coming at this from similar backgrounds. you've said that you're already familiar with indie-friendly stuff, so i'll assume that it is electronic dance music that you're looking to get into.
this might seem like a strange question, but how familiar are you with the NY no wave scene? i ask because my personal route into dance music was from the noisier no wave stuff like teenage jesus and dna, into the funkier esg and liquid liquid, and from there into funk and disco, and then chicago house, electro and detroit techno.
this might not be the most conventional route, but perhaps it's one you'll be able to relate too! i think some of the suggestions in this thread might be a bit 'in at the deep end', and by taking a more gradual approach you'll gain a better understanding of how different sounds developed and influenced each other. you'll also be able to figure out what particular sounds you're into along the way - i'm 'into electonic music' but i still don't like lots of the stuff suggested in this thread.
I'm not familiar with no-wave at all really. I'll give some of them a go. I have been slowly working my way through the reccomendations in this thread and have enjoyed most of them but yeah, I don't really have any understanding of the development of electronic music at all really so maybe your approach will help. Cheers!
I think a really good place to start is Soul Jazz compilations
they've really branched out beyond just roots and reggae type stuff. Both volumes of Box of Dub are pretty much essential for dubstep and they have tonnes of other electronic stuff.
I've always found it more exhilerating jumping in
rather than calculating a root thru history and time. Then you don't get the sense that its some kind of homework and you should really like these artists becuase they're old and respected, important or whatever. If you jump in find something you like then explore out I just find it more fun. That way you come to the history of it as you go along rather than slogging thru some old dudes.
they do have the odd good comp tho yeah
do they do the roots of dubstep and roots of El-B ones I can't remember? they're ace, could have been by rinse.
Isn't that Tempa?
Thought they released most of the El-B stuff?
The Kevin Martin and Stewart Baker curated dub/dubstep comp is absolutely brilliant. http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=23718
Future Bass is really good too, haven't heard the others like Steppas Delight and Riddim Box.
same company I always forget.
the dub ones are pretty much always ace from what I've heard.
Dunno about the future bass one, its a case of ace artists but not their best tracks like a lot of these dubstep comps. As a jump off point they're good I guess but they might hold people back from going much further. Just like a Radiohead remix album with guys like Blawan, Shed, Objekt, whoever... no one is gonna say those are the best tracks they've done but they're amazing artists.
compilations might be a good idea tho...
Lable and artsist ones are usualy better than genre ones tho.
Hyperdub - 5
Hessle Audio - 116 & Rising
Punch Drunk - 'Worth the Weight - Bristol Dubstep Classics'
Tectonic - Tectonic Plates Vol.1 to whatever
Deep Medi - Deep Medi Releases Vol.1 to whatever
Terror Danjah - Gremlinz
Ruff Sqwad - White Label Classics
the classic intro to no wave
is the No New York compilation
it's not really the dancier side though
this might help tbh...
They did a mix for us recently its a guy from Optimo who you can't go far wrong with in terms of showing you pretty much every fun bit of dance music history in one set tbh and Niel Landstrumm whoes been making electro for years.
Its an insperation mix full of old electro, kinda odd no wave stuff, post-punk, disco, rock, dub, house and it all sounds seamless like a DJ mix just like dance music should be.

Rated 4 out of 5 by modelqueen2r from Great product, becareful in sizing though! Love the dress, well worth the cash spent. However, all of my previous purchases I was a medium and this seemed to fit a little larger and it was mentioned on the site this was a "final sale". It fits, but I would prefer a little tighter. Great features are it can be dressed up or down and looks great either way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jumper from Very nice casual dress I like this dress a lot. I usually wear an XS in bebe, but size Medium was the only size available, so I took it, The fit is not too bad. I'm pleasantly surprised. I love the color too. The color was named "Deep Blue" but I would call it "Deep Purple".

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarphati from Love the dress I ordered this dress a little nervous how it would look on me. It's gorgeous! I absolutely love it and the color! I ordered the tile blue color. It looks even better in person. It's more of a greenish color but its absolutely amazing. It fits perfect. I'm 5'3" and weigh 115lbs. I am a C cup. I'm pretty curvy so this dress definitely compliments my curves. Great dress!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mish1 from Great dress! This is a nice casual dress. It looks great with booties. It runs big. I got the XS and it was too big on me and will be getting it altered. These are great basic dresses to wear on a casual day. Very comfortable. I got the red color and love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nira from Like it a lot! Got this dress in black and tile blue colors. Fit is great-tight and showing all my curves. I am 5,6, 120 pounds, 32 D- got my usual size in BeBe dresses-XS. Length is just right- not too short but not too long. Comes to the middle of my thighs. Fabric is light and thin. Logo is beautiful like always. I think it is a great dress for vacation. Can wear it in the evening having a nice dinner at the beach.Tile blue color is different than it appears on the site. It is more intense with almost a hint of the green. I would describe it as the color of the sea water. Still really pretty. I did not have any problems with the fit in my upper body area like the other viewer had. Really pleased with my purchase and would buy this dress in more colors (white and hot pink would be great!). Thank you BeBe for always making me beautiful and happy!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lizzy from Very thin material, runs larger in size, and not flattering I was extremely disappointed in this dress. I have a few sweaters that have similar styling to this dress with the crystal bebe across the chest and i have always loved the sweaters so I thought I would love the dress version too. Unfortuantely the material for this dress was really super thin, bebe makes great quality clothes so i was expecting a little bit of a thicker material with good amount of stretch(like their sweater) but I was disappointed. The neckline was too big and wide to be flattering on me but thats my fault i should have paid closer attention to the pictures. Sizing also runs a bit larger, im 5'4" 115lbs and i found that this was a little roomy(I bought a small) so I would recommend scaling down if you do decide to get this dress. Overall I wouldnt recommend this dress as there a lot of better options for the price.

Which part of file system to store user's stuff?
To a windows user, the most baffling thing about Linux is the file system.
When I want to store things like letters, documents, pdfs, photos, zip files, audio files, video files, and so on, where is the most appropriate part(s) of the file system to store them in please?
And what parts of the Linux file system should I never put stuff in? What parts of the Linux file system should I leave well alone?
I'm trying to avoid doing the equivalent of storing word processor files in the WinXP windows folder.

Users should store their stuff in $HOME
echo $HOME
will show your actual HOME
Hope that helps

Hi and welcome to the kennels "baffled".
Here is what I do :-
1- Click on "file" icon (only once) no double clicking here unless you want to! This will open your root directory.
2- In here you will see some other directories such as my -documents, my applications etc. and voila you can put some of your stuff away already!
3- If there isn't a suitable directory available....... make one! It is as simple as this :- right click on an empty space in the root directory , scroll down to New ,click on directory in the box that opens just name it what you want i.e videos ,music whatever.
There is even an easier way to create a new directory using the terminal,or console, same thing.
Lets create a directory called STUFF
mkdir STUFF
Although Linux is a learning curve don't give up! It is well worth the effort and this is one of the most friendliest forums there are. People here will take time to help you out . Even old braindead idiots like me!!
Have you tried the latest Precise 5.7.1 on your machine yet, it is pretty well damn good !!!

If you have a Puppy "frugal" installation, you might want to make folders in /mnt/home and put your large files there. By "large" I mean any file or collection of files that amounts to say 20Meg or more. By keeping this stuff in /mnt/home, they don't use up space in your personal save file.
Small files like letters and documents can go in your "my-documents" folder in your home directory, as alphadog suggested, although these too can of course be put in folders you create in /mnt/home
Until you become more familiar with Linux, I would avoid putting stuff anywhere other than either 1) your home directory, or 2) /mnt/home, and leave everything else alone unless you are following instructions from an expert.

To a windows user, the most baffling thing about Linux is the file system.
To a Linux user , the most baffling thing about Windows is the file system.
Documents in c:\documents and settings\Administrator\Local\documentsa\blah blip bloom..where the hell are the internet explorer cache files and are they real.. and those nice FLASRG~2.NIP that still pop up now and then. Full of virtual folders that anyone recovering files has to decifer.
Windows only seems easier since you learnt that first but the human tendancy is to make yer first experience the 'right' one.... eg your own language.
The good news is it gets easier (used to baffle me too) and theres help here.
Answer to your question... either /root which is usually referred to as Home ...or on a drive somewhere...good to get into the habit of storing things throgh the icons on the desktop... then you KNOW where things are regardless of the system you are using.
man that was a long waffly answer

Thanks. On the second hard drive of my defunct Windows computer I had a folder f:/mystuff which grew to about 20 or 30 GB and went down very deep with lots of nested sub-folders. Using my own folder for exclusively my stuff made backing-up and searching for things much simpler.
Would it be a good idea to have a similar gigantic and very deep folder in the Puppy Linux root, or should I put it somewhere else please?

I would recommend not storing any documents, regardless of size, in
on a Frugal installation of Puppy. This is because any files not under
are actually stored in the PupSave file. The problem with this is that those files won't be in the same place if you use a different PupSave file.
If you are frugally installed you will have been prompted to create a PupSave file on shutdown/reboot.

If you are frugally install no it would not be a good idea. Also, always have a back up, of course.
directory gives you access to mounted storage devices. For example.
The boot partition is
(in windows C:\)
a second partition could be
(in windows could be D:\)
a partition on second drive could be
(in windows could be E:\)
a USB stick could be
(in windows could be F:\)
an optical drive maybe
(n windows could be G:\)

Hi, and welcome. You know, the more information you give us, the more we can help you, so please tell us: which flavor of Puppy are you using? it's full or frugal installed?

If it's a frugal installation, what you put in /root/xxx/yyy/zzz will be stored in the pupsave file. It's a very bad idea to have a pupsave file so big. Pupsave file can get corrupted for i.e power failure.
So, like said above big files should be stored in /mnt/home/xxx those files/folder will be outside the pupsave file.
It's healthy to regularly make a copy of the pupsave file just in case it gets unrecoverable. A 512mb or even 1Gb it's easy to deal with.

similar... used yer drives as your storage medium so do such things there... easy to find and you will not hit the limitations injherent in the pup_save system. /mnt/sda(n) or the desktop drive icons..whatever you are comfortable with.
Some refer to /mnt/home which is a link to wherever puppy is saving to... That can be confusing and is not always clear where it is.
Even on windows I always use a separate partition or drive for storage...easy to use with different windows and linux varients that way and less prone to fragmentation.
As you mention you then have your OWN file structure that you are comfortable with.

Wait a moment... F:\ was your second drive, so, why not to let it untouched and as your store drive? Puppy will read and write it, and a new Windows too. (both installed in the other disk).

Post subject: Yes, create a sharable data partition on your 2nd drive
Subject description: auto-mount in Puppy, make Windows use it too
To add to previous advice, I would set up a separate partition (for example, using GParted) of at least 30GB for you to keep all your personal data & files. If your second hard drive is a good one, do it there. The existing ntfs should be an easy starting point - just make it as big as possible and use it for everything.
It is possible to get Windows (XP anyway) to read Linux partitions so on my older desktop, I made my data partition ext3 and installed an .exe program to enable XP to read & write to this partition when needed.
This computer I'm using now doesn't have any Windows and its 500GB hard-drive is partitioned into 15 Linux partitions (1 small swap of about 500MB, 1 partition of about 30GB for lots of Puppy Frugals, 12 partitions of about 3GB for trying different Full Puppy installs, and the rest of the drive is a simple data partition of about 400GB which gets auto-mounted (by a script in /root/Startup) when a Puppy boots so its data are readily accessible whichever Puppy I feel like using.
Good luck.

Thanks for replies.
My specs: Dell Dimension L700CXE, currently with WinMe installed, CPU 698Mhz, 20 GB HD, RAM 384MB (more than I thought earlier). This is an old computer someone gave me; my usual computer - WinXp - has stopped working, probably due to the motherboard failing.
Currently I am using Precise Puppy with the CD stuck in my only CD drive. I would like to install to hard disk on this old computer, overwriting everything on this computer, but I have found this to be fiendishly difficult. So difficult that it is impossible. I would like to install Precise Puppy, but due to the fiendishly difficult install process, which requires a lot of knowledge which I as an average Windows user do not have, I am sorry to admit that I am downloading Lubuntu in the hope that that will be easier to install.
I do not know what a "frugal" install is. All I want to do is erase everything on the HD and start again with a nice clean Precise Puppy Linux installation, but this seems to be impossible to do unless you have a degree in computers.
I've only got a vague idea of what mount means and do not understand the Linux file system at all.
Edit: what would be useful is a file manger that hides those folders you are not supposed to tamper with.

Actually all the files beginning with "." are hidden in the ROX filer. 'Frugal' is a standard method for installing Puppy Linux. The Linux system files are stored in a single compressed file.
In the 'Full' installation the Linux system file are stored in directories on the partition.
It doesn't matter which method you use, the differences are listed here-
Puppy is easier in some ways, believe it or not. You are the administrator by default - less permission errors. Plus it boots straight to desktop - no login holdups.
which method for install Puppy did you try?

Hmm for a beginner its usually recommended to chose a frugal install to an existing file system and use grub4dos to set up booting. The more conventional install does involve repartitioning usually though someone made a one click installer.
Many actuaslly run using a live cd or usb stick and just save to the hard drive...at least until they are more familiar.
I don't think anyone here has a degree (in anything lol) and there is lots (too much?) help available.

Salt Creek-Sweetwater Creek (North Work) WMP
Area residents near the Cordry-Sweetwater Conservancy District and the Town of Princes Lakes developed this Watershed Management Plan (WMP) to address long term water quality issues affecting their communities. A Watershed Team and Steering Committee, comprised of local residents, provided the locally based power source to drive the planning project. Public meetings provided the forum to identify water quality issues, investigate their sources and magnitude, and finally to develop long term goals and implementation solutions.
The Watershed Team decided to focus their efforts on what they perceived to be the top four threats to local water quality, these priority issues included failing septic systems, erosion & sedimentation, geese, and lawn chemicals. Volunteer water quality monitoring was conducted during the summer of 2005, using established testing protocols for lake and stream sampling. This data was used to validate and/or quantify the priority issues. Information collected during this time indicates that water quality in local streams and lakes is relatively healthy, and no testing parameters exceeded the Indiana surface water quality standards.
Since no obvious water quality impairments were identified during sampling, long term goals developed by the planning team centered on maintaining or improving current water quality conditions. Implementation items to achieve these goals targeted information sharing and accessibility, coupled with expanded water quality monitoring, as the preferred mechanisms to promote the widespread use of conservation best management practices. The planning team will be pursuing grant funding to develop these recommendations.
The North Fork Salt Creek/Sweetwater Creek watershed was selected for planning due to the interest of water quality issues among residents in the community. Because a significant portion of the population in the watershed lives along or nearby the Sweetwater Lake, many of the residents are concerned about how activities in the watersheds may affect their quality of life. This WMP was developed by a stepwise process driven by local interests to reflect the water quality concerns of local stakeholders. First, a Steering Committee comprised of five members of the community was developed to provide direction and decision-making tasks. Then, a larger, more dynamic Watershed Team was assembled from members of the community and residents of the watershed in the early stages of the project. The entire local public was invited to participate in the Plan development, with the intent of having broad representation of local interests reflected in the team composition. Once the team was assembled, the following events occurred in sequential order to develop the Plan. Quarterly Watershed Team and Steering Committee meetings provided the forum to undertake the process.

Hello everyone,
Just starting this GeoCache Craze. I recently discovered using a GPSr and I am looking forward to the adventure.
I am not new to the outdoors or to hiking and camping, but this combination of nature and high tech is creating a whole new synergy.
I think I'll look for my first cache this afternoon. Looks like there is one just down the road. Wish me luck!
Thanks in advance to those who lend a helping hand to the newbies
