Talking of dubstep I bought the two Burial albums and loved them for their intensity for a short while but ultimately there was the same element of commercial compromise that Goldie brought into Inner City Life with the female vocals. I don't mind people selling a lot of records (good on ya if you can make money out of any music these days) I just don't want to be told that music is revolutionary when it isn't.
The only music magazine I buy now is Gramophone. I am old.
I usually have heard of maybe 10% of the artists referred to in The Wire. I always enjoy Invisible Jukebox though.
I tried to like Burial, but it's just not doing it for me.
