The Great Ufabulum Weigh-In

Alright. So there's a leak, you've heard it, or you will in the next hour.

Let's go. Discussion questions that absolutely fucking must be answered:

1. Will you buy the vinyl?

2. Is it a return to form (I don't mean by this "is it not a bass wankery record", in the literal sense of 1996-2002 relived)?

3. how many out of 5? no decimal points you fucking hair splitters.
1 - dogshit dildo
2 - has a couple non-nauseating moments, but overall weak sauce
3 - couple great parts, boring as shit otherwise
4 - unf, imma rock this for a few months
5 - classic, total classic

4. Is this some kind of synthesis of prevailing trends repackaged into a Jenkinson cupcake? (I refer mostly to the extremely techno-ish synth stuff that bookends the record and the general focus on grindy low-ass bass. We won't say the d-word, but pretend I did.)

Sunshine Kissed with Blood

OK, so I was at one of my local not-shitty record stores, and found WAP100 (in addition to a few other things, not the least of which was Shitfuckers!), and holy shit I forgot about this, which used to be one of my favorites of theirs, which is totally appropriate now that the endless clouds in Portland are finally starting to give way to Cali-style sun:

(We'll ignore talking about the Squarepusher / Aphex track, because we all know that was the shit.)

Also, I've been listening to these two albums all day:

which might indicate I plan on stabbing some motherfuckers.

things tom should watch and bite

Dark Steering

I'm not totally sure how I feel about this. The song is decent enough. Sounds like Do You Know Squarepusher-era stuff updated a little bit to be less drill and bass and more electro house.

The video itself, though, is pretty boring. I mean I get that live electronic shows aren't the most fun to watch, but why make that your video? A simulation of a "live" performance, when the performance itself is mostly a playback of pre-recorded, pre-sequenced material. I mean how many levels of simulacra do you need?

ya'll catch this?

Alright. New Clark. Let's hear it.

Start the "who that singing" bitching in 3...2...
