"2006 : the year dubstep broke" is in the pressing process right now and for the first time ever it will be (--dramatic pause---) a video vinyl ! Fuck all that blue-ray vs. hd-dvd bullshit, this will be the "new thing". Aaaand Gmku will be happy. But you'll have to buy an audio-video turntable with dvi/hdmi outputs (better hdmi to have both audio and video with a single cable).

Whether it's a good call or not has nothing to do with my question. I don't recall the Wire ever giving props to the overall type of music Celtic Frost play (and I don't think it's unfair to call them old school death metal as they've been around forever and whatever they play is based around the sound they pioneered which is what was originally called "Death Metal", it wasn't a dis, I'd call Einsturzende Neubauten, who I worship, old school industrial to differentiate them from NIN bullshit.) It seems Sunn O)) have succeeded mightily in their mission of bringing the good word of metal to the academics at the Wire, which is all I was ever commenting on. |

i'm thinking i won't renew my subscription to the wire this year.
it costs over $100, and it's most esoteric, and i hardly have time to read it anyway, and when i do, i feel terribly jealous of all those live performance reviews i never could attend. i'm sticking to my free arthurs for the next year. |

It's a good issue, got it in the post this morning. I've not kept up with a lot of what they've been writing about this year, but I'm sure there's lots of things I'll hate and plenty of things I'll love within that list. As ever with the Wire, I commend them for introducing me to oodles of new music, whether I like it or not.

I plan to subscribe pretty soon. I buy them every month anyway, so there's no reason to spend extra money

I love the wire in that it introduces me to lots of music, and is among the few magazines taht actually write about music i listen to and want to listen to.
BUT, I fucking HATE the journalism (if that makes sense... I mean the way it's written). Everett True makes my skin crawl. I had the displeasure of meeting him at a Jens Lekman gig in Brighton. YUCK. The list is ok. I have to admit I haven't listened to much of it, and there are things I would include that aren't in there (wont get into that now as I plan on doing some sort of end of year list soon ). Definitely better than rough trade's crock of shite (although if it's based purely on sales then it's actually very interesting).

Is Everett True as much of a creep in real life as he seems in print?

oh god he's WORSE! he said of me in his blog "a teenage girl transported from the mundane, in raptures, twisting and turning through the church aisles with her partner."
PERVERT! also he eats cake in a really unpleasant crumbs everywhere sort of way.

The one time I met him he seemed really nice and quite cool. But then, I'm not a teenage girl, so I can't vouch for his perversity. I was also praising him at the time for writing a scathing review of Liz Phair's third album in the Stranger in Seattle. I really appreciated that he wasn't like all the other journalists who would never call bullshit when an indie icon put out a piece of commercial garbage, because face it, they all want to get their reviews stuck in the press releases that go with the next album and maybe even get a job at the label. |

I was thinking that too. He writes for Plan B, a magazine that I hate but keep finding myself buying because they keep on writing about one decent band among all the hipster crap.
I used to subscribe to The Wire, but stopped because I found that in one copy in every three I was only reading the reviews. I'm thinking of starting again now though. |

despite what the lord thom yorke says, drums not dead was one of the worst albums of the year. on the converse, if one's able to set aside their pretention then maybe they'll find that the justin timberlake album is actually really good. then again, it's not indie cred, so i'm wasting my breath.

I liked drum's not dead, and it's really nice to see just a modicum of interesting and dancable music coming from the sludge-grey ivory towers of indie rock, but JT fucking slays.
