is he normally a bit full of himself? and what do you think of resilience? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He makes fun of pop with VST instruments and makes his CD's un rippable. He's fun for a few seconds but is thatbit? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha! "thatbit"?? I'm not going to explain what I really meant. |
||||||||
|

Punchy, esoteric, swarmy and taciturn. He takes music by the foreskin and twists it into new yet familiar shapes. By turns aggresive, yet sensitive, he writes techno with a hardcore pencil. |

> and makes his CD's un rippable. is that true ?? fuck him in that case only one i liked was down with the scene for about 2months in 2000 or whenever |

seriously though, he speaks real highly of his new album, like it's a masterpiece..it's real nice, very much up to my taste, but him saying stuff like that just puts me off..so i was wondering whether he's always like that or is this the case only with this new album? (btw, some girl got to write the boc review..i haven't heard the whole review yet but from what i heard she must think it's the best thing that ever happened to music :) |

His whole take on the 'Bastard pop' thing put me off when he makes his cd's copy protected. |
||||||||

His name Kid 606 put me off to the point where I never actually listened to him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't it kid 606 who released a hundred cd boxset or something equally rediculous that cost liek thousands of pounds? ive got one of his albums its not very good, whats the new one called? id like to give him a chance only because he is on ipecac records |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh i do have an amazing live mix of his which is awosme but most likely not all his songs, but still a great mix, and the shotgun wedding cd he did with cex is good.... now cex i like, quite underatted imo |

who wrote it? was it core? |

I like the GQ on the EQ ep a lot and most of the others almost a lot too. And I've never met a Kid606 CD I couldn't rip. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think so..must be girls like it in general..it starts something like; if rock n roll is secks then boc is making love...not just explicit , phisical one, but eros to the entire world blah blah.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point. I am not sure what they mean by copyprotected i guess. If there is a disc in this world with data on it there is always a means by which one can retrive it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you using some form of hip hop-inspired vernacular there? the GQ on the EQ EP, fo shizzle to da nizzle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, is he like the biggest electronic music superstar in US? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
" if rock n roll is secks then boc is making love..." ha ha! is that what you said to seduce big? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw him on some video interview about electronic music he seemed very friendly non arragant and just normal :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think so but then again there is no real scene here. just a bunch of displaced fans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i don't think i really seduced him you know..i spent very little time with him eventhough he spent like 4 days here..not something im proud of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if someone asked me of electronic artists from us i'd probably name matmos and kid first..but i sort of know what you mean about the scene..there's a bit of a scene around the tigerbeat label and then some around schematic..8 or so years ago it was a totally different thing though..probably even better than uk at that time. |

I saw Kid606 at Bangface a few weeks ago, he was being a bit of a cunt... his live stuff was a bit wank, simple and always stopping & starting for some reason, and then he had the nerve to shout at the crowd for not dancing enough... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I've seen him a lot here in SF. People dance like crazy though, so it's always a blast. Miguel 606 on "Resilience": " this is my favorite album because I had so much internal pressure and inspiration to make these songs, but no external pressure to ever make an album out of it or worry about deadlines or how it would be received. None of these songs are about being naive and discovering things like my past releases, but all about successfully transferring what I heard in my head into songs and then into an album I always wanted to make". Just sounds like a dude who really likes the songs he wrote for his new album. Would you expect less from a musician? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What does this one sound like? Noisy, industrial or ambient. I really like most of his new stuff, altho it gets trying after a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i was wondering whether he's always like that or is this the case only with this new album? He's quite prolific.. he seems to have honestly revered this one more than others. He seems pompous at times but not to the point of being a complete asshole. From what I have read he seems fairly likeable. I don't have the new one yet but I'm eager to get it judging from his comments. 'Down with the Scene', for example, was incredible. also, is he like the biggest electronic music superstar in US? Haha, there is no such thing as an electronic music superstar in the US. The closest you'll get to that is Oakenfold, and most people haven't even heard of him. |

it's ambient i guess..more like a chill out thing..with slow beats and lovely melodies. uviol, cheers for that. the first paragraph is at most helpful, and i was ofcourse kidding a bit about the superstar term. im pretty aware of how much electronic musicians are known outside electronic scene-which is probably close to nothing-so i was thinking known in terms of underground electronica :) |

i saw him a few months ago here in salt lake. there were seriously, like, eight people at the show. i felt bad for him, but he played out his set like a champ and fucked up the amps at the venue. it was loud to say the least. i only spoke to him briefly and he seemed nice enough. i'll have to check out the new album. |
||||||||
|

ah, understood. :) I sorta realized 'superstar' was playful hyperbole, but it's true.. like you said electronic music is still on the fringes of the entire music industry. most people I run into who talk about it lump everything together as 'techno' music and have gigs upon gigs of mislabeled (or unlabeled) DJ mixes on their itunes playlists. IDM is out of the question. People may have heard of Aphex Twin, but only in conjunction with their trendy indie bands. It's rare that I meet others genuinely into anything electronic, much less experimental. As for kid606, I don't hear much about him. when the name does come up, it's usually because I bring it up, and then it is met with ambivalent reactions at best. It's a shame because I think he's had some great ideas and very solid releases over the years. alot of times he's unfairly written off as solely a gimmick or iconoclast. |

he does coem across as a bit up himself - but Squarepusher does too, sometimes - how many songs of his have him saying stuff like "squarepusher's the fucking daddy?!" |

well, tom is pretty much unbeatable at that.. |

Altho a lot of the whole TB6 thing was the satiric icon thing. Cex with his gold teeth that say cex, and acting like the 'idm thug', and k606 using all the pop music in his bootlegs. Action packed mentalist is still one of the best bootlegs out there, even if its just samples overtop of a distorted drum, that has spent a combined week at least in my cd player worth of being played. Thats a lot of distorted drums and pop music. |

i love you is reaaly great. action packed too. last two suck, but maybe that's just my taste. he's just ordinary american dude, ecstasy, "awesome" and stuff. something like your older brother or something. but i wouldn't spend time with him either.... |
