Ah yes, that electronic music pioneer Alanis Morissette!

You'd be better off posting SASH! in this thread mate. 

Fuck's sake, only just noticed this reply, and the fact that I posted in the wrong fucking thread! 

I should bloody move to ECUADOR!

Encore une fois, they didn't hear it at the back.

It dawned on me recently just how many female producers are making waves on the electronic music scene lately, which is fantastic to see. LP Giobbi in particular is on the verge of superstardom if she continues the way she's going. The Blessed Madonna is one of my favourite DJs of the past several years. 

Here's some female-produced tracks that I'm really into at the moment:

Love these videos. Very simple and very effective way of breaking samples down. I know a lot of the purists hate them, along with who sampled.com, but that's pure gate-keepery to me.

Forgot it was a Schooly D sample!

There's a lot of interesting stuff out for the 25th anniversary of Dig Your Own Hole. The demo version of Elektrobank turned up on services recently.

I ordered Behringer's copy of the TR-909 from Thomann last night so I've been back on a trance buzz. I think 96-98 is the sweet spot for me. Out of the stages of being early trance but not quite full blown two-hands-in-the-air-please cheese yet. This one's a beaut, just pure sonic force:

 

@Scott MalbranqueYou're Dublin, right? We moved up recently. Is Index where the party's at? I know fuck all about the scene up here other than smelly metal bands.

Index is mainly for the scrote contingent, and it's quite a young crowd now...and the venue itself is a shitehole. 

Tengu is far and away the best place for gigs at the moment. Never any trouble, 30's and 40's crowd, great music (the Melodic crowd primarily work out of there) with a great layout. Nick Warren is playing there tomorrow which will be incredible as I've seen Warren a load of times since the 90s and he's never delivered a bad set. I can't go as have to isolate so I'm raging, but next one for me is Guy J in Tengu on the 29th, so it's not all bad. 

Opium and the Button Factory are good venues too, if the right gig/DJ is on.

The new KLF documentary Who Killed The KLF? Is worth watching, it misses bits out but I guess it has to fit 90 minutes and there's just so much to cover within those small few years of Jimmy and Bill's antics.

It was cool to hear from people who went on the trip to Jura where the duo held a mock pagan ritual with burning wicker man, the journalists invited had zero idea as to where they were going when getting on the plane.

Cheers boss! Yeah looked up the reviews on it there. I don't mind places where the walls and floors are speckled being a bit grubby but it sounds rough. You answered my real question which was "I want to have a dance again but I'm in my thirties now and the youth scare me. Where do I go?"

@MerzbowHave you read Bill Drummond's book? It's sort of like the diary of a really ordinary madman. John Higg's KLF book is decent too but I suspect its zealous idolatry of their antics might be a bit of a love it or hate it thing. I'm suckers for the scallywags though.

I've got Bill's book 17, found a copy in Oxfam for a fiver.

I love John Higg's book but I'm a fan of his writing in general, I enjoyed how it went in a million directions and at times felt like it had nothing to do with the band but stayed entertaining.

Yeah it's a really entertaining read. It cracks me up that they were so distraught from burning a million quid that the only person they could turn to for help was Alan Moore, who duly informed them that it was almost certainly an act of magic (magick?) since it was the only tangible way to completely devalue money. 

That footage still has such a pornographically eerie quality to it. They're tossers and they'd be the first to tell you, but it's fascinating stuff. 

May as well pay on-topic tax:

 

Forty three minutes of non-stop banging hooks from two blokes who weren't even serious about it.
