The Rise and Fall of The Obscure Music Download Blog
The Rise And Fall Of The Obscure Music Download Blog: A Roundtable:
In the 21st century, do you think something exists if it doesn't exist somewhere on the internet?
Eric Lumbleau: If something can be said to meaningfully exist if said existence occurs amid such endless proliferation that it's forgotten sooner than it's absorbed. A better question is whether the cultural relativity induced by having all musical histories on tap 24/7 renders the act of attempting to connect historical threads a fool's errand. Being inside this cyclotron of atomized information from my own vantage point produces a palpable sense of vertigo. A feeling that it could be anything in any order by anyone at any time for any reason. Everything pointing in all directions quaquaversally but arriving at no destination. And its effect is a cancellation of affect.
A feeling like Baudrillard's screen stage of blank fascination has reached its terminal phase and all previous depths are collapsing into an endless vista of dazzling surface play. In my case, it's caused me to recoil and retreat to engaging with music in the way that I did when I was in my early teens, which is to say with no concern at all for what else I might be missing at the same time or what else "I need to know about," since there's no sense any longer of a beginning, end or causation in the spaces between, so I just tune into a select few things that I then revisit with depth and intensity and block out the rest of the hubbub.

Homework
Oy! Homework assignment: Help me track down the albums listed in this video and we can all feast on some superior psych-freakout goodness. Watch the video or be lazy and go here and look on the right-hand side to scroll through all of Ty Segall's picks. I've got the Television Personalities, Dicks, and Flying Lizards album. If you all can get some of the others (especially the Swell Maps 'Jane From Occupied Europe') I'll megapost them.

Filesharing Recommendations
Sorry for the shitshow recently, Rapidshare plans on deleting all of my "inactive files" (files not downloaded within x-amount of days) unless I upgrade to a paid account. Can anybody recommend a filesharing service other than Rapidshare and Mediafire so I can get this smoking bag of music bones off the ground again?

Public Access Theme
I have a public access tv show and here is my first attempt at the theme song. All samples (aside from the Baron/Von/Dr. stuff) are from 60s Batman/Godzilla/Green Hornet vinyls. See if you can guess the name of the show.

Dublab Nest
This track by Anenon called Kosmiche Slop I found through a recent Dublab mix they did for the TEDxUSC 2012 Mix (check out the tracklist on the Dublab mix). That Anenon track is from a digital download album they offer featuring Andrew Pekler, James Pants, and Daedelus, just to name a few. You can buy that here.

(2008)
One of the few instrumental hip-hop albums that incorporates live instruments (horns/keys/etc.) with the hip-hop staples of samplers (drums) and vinyl samples while actually going somewhere beyond 'hey lemme loop this beat while u play a sax over it'. Looking at you, Dj Premier.
