They are pretty much my best friends, these days :). However, a friend of mine uses the Bose and speaks quite highly of them, and would probably be better for the car. I ride a bike, personally, so i can more easily sink into an auditory world of my own.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100569061140784145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009171962442827169.post-39316885006419206452010-10-24T23:27:31.907-07:002010-10-24T23:27:31.907-07:00I'll keep you posted on what I find.

Never been exposed to Detroit techno yet, but I'm all ears. I've been "Bleached"-out as I've been listening to them for 5 weeks straight everyday in my car. <br /><br />I tend to be self-destructive myself & this Basic Channel stuff really relaxes me, so it's great medicine for my paranoid brain. Now I'm dreaming of buying those $100 bose earbuds. Ever try'em?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246620361469905792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009171962442827169.post-49594112821135270042010-10-24T23:13:14.172-07:002010-10-24T23:13:14.172-07:00hey, if you get a chance, keep me posted on what y...hey, if you get a chance, keep me posted on what you find. I've liked what i've heard, but sometimes have a hard time keeping all the different music straight. A primer would be grand! I'll try and post some dub-techno here, soon. Have you gotten into any of the detroit techno stuff yet? The underground resistance label is SUBLIME!jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100569061140784145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009171962442827169.post-35941095798119958032010-10-24T22:04:15.568-07:002010-10-24T22:04:15.568-07:00Thanks. Ok, Basic Channel is the main label & ...Thanks. Ok, Basic Channel is the main label & then Rhythm & Sound is a sub-label. That stuff is other worldly & a perfect switch from all the guitar-based songs in my music vocabulary. Good for a change. Most of their music has got this dark soundscape to it, but then when they sing on some of their songs its got a positive energy & soul behind it. It's balancing dark atmosphere with light-emitting vocals, which is very rare & interesting. Yeah, I'm digging into the whole discography. Should keep my busy for a while.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246620361469905792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009171962442827169.post-8486871632494377442010-10-24T00:02:36.366-07:002010-10-24T00:02:36.366-07:00thanks for the comments, y'all.

Make sure to stay tuned, i've got a bunch of killer shit planned!<br />ps... i HAVE heard rhythm and sound, and they're pretty f'ing great. I went through a total Basic Channel fascination, 'bout 4 months ago. And as for Bleach, i'm glad you liked them, as well. I sort of fanatically research Shoegaze music, always looking for something new and interesting. I think the term 'Nirvana of Shoegaze' is pretty astute.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100569061140784145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009171962442827169.post-80037264942105644242010-10-21T05:02:45.367-07:002010-10-21T05:02:45.367-07:00Wow, that was fast.

I think they're just as impressive as MBV, except Bleach doesn't need the extra year of post production & mic positioning. Bleach is like the Nirvana of shoegaze, they just spit the stuff out & it sounds good with no fussing about. Didn't think I'd ever see the day when I found a band close to MBV, but Bleach is it to me. <br /><br />Also, Heyoka & Danielle Dax are great. I recently heard Rhythm & Sound, you've probably heard it, but I like that as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246620361469905792noreply@blogger.com
