Those are great choices pork. I filmed a few times for some of the guys from the Anticon label. Made two vids for Alias and Boom Bip in the Milkyway A'dam a year ago. Gonna put them on our site soon. Speeking of alternative Hip Hop, ya must know Buck 65 and Sage Francis?

Here's a link to El-p's Deep space 9mm vid. It's got such a simple concept and it kicks ass. You can also find the vid on the Fantastic Damage cd as an extra.
Check it out here.

I should have really said that i'm really into both Definitive Jux and Anticon as record labels.The quality is generally really high for both.

anyway, i like pole3 the most, then 2, then 1.

Sometimes i wonder if you make this stuff up.

[porkmarras]

By the way,yes i know both Buck 65 and Sage Francis.

It's one of my favourite records at the moment. It's one of the few records of its type (glitchy electronica) that is varied enough and good enough to keep you hooked all the way through. And the guest artists all make complete sense, particularly Lydia Lunch & the fantastic Terry Edwards track - the best thing I've ever heard by him.

spookie and Tokolosh,i assume that you like stuff like matmos and lamm_o then?

There's been some anti-Anticon threads on here so I presumed I was in a small minority liking it (probably am). I love most of the stuff I've heard, particularly Clouddead and Themselves.

Buck 65 has become a bit uncool to like it seems but Talkin' Honky Blues is one of the best albums of the last 10 years in my view.

Anti-Anticon threads on here?When?where are those responsable for them?

[Pookie]

Never heard of lamm_o & have never heard Matmos (not quite sure how that has happened).

There was a hip hop thread when I first joined the board and I think Anticon was seen as indie-hip hop or something. I didn't know anybody then, so I don't remember who was responsible. I just thought, Sonic Youth board, "rock" music only.

early days of this forum,or maybe on the old one...something like "anticon is fake hip hop for intellectual pussies",and so on.

[porkmarras]

Well,that wouldn't be far from the truth.The great majority of people on here don't strike as listening to much more than guitar/acoustic instruments-led music and nothing else.

That'd be Toilet & Bowels then.

I haven't got a problem with that description.

[porkmarras]

Good call on 'Jam' as something tells me that you'll like the music on there quite a bit(not to say the general madness of it all).

Never heard of them. Tell me more.

[porkmarras]

Gosh,you MUST have heard of Matmos,i'm pretty sure.They are Bjork's producers as well as very talented musicians(think glitch with a plastic surgery-sampling heart).

[Pookie]

...and amplified bicycle wheel...

 

[Tokolosh]

Ok. I'm reading the wiki page about Matmos from Frisco. Sounds interesting.

[porkmarras]

Definately one to check out.
