We've got a radio show here too, in the dirty south of France :) It's called Acid Adventures, and here's a link to the last shows : http://acidadventures.bandcamp.com/

You can check all the playlists here : http://www.radio-radio.net/emissions/acide.htm

We mostly cover acid/braindance music, with a bit of Detroit techno, focusing on netlabels and newcomers. We were on a hiatus for summer, but we will be back next wednesday !

Sherburne's great, he used to have a good column on pitchfork, and pfork also had a decen grime/dubstep column for awhile.

Also:

More great Red Bull Academy videos and mixes:

The other recommendation I would make was this fascinating podcast about the history of sampling, entitled "variations" found here: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial

There was a thread about it a while back, it's great stuff, definitely more musicology related, and especially nice if you can listen to audio at work.

I've been meaning to 'take' these online classes from Yale, it seems pretty interesting

This course fosters the development of aural skills that lead to an understanding of Western music. The musical novice is introduced to the ways in which music is put together and is taught how to listen to a wide variety of musical styles, from Bach and Mozart, to Gregorian chant, to the blues.

Also, this Philip Sherburne zeitgeist-defining article on brostep is hilarious

http://www.spin.com/...rave-generation

I have a couple of friends that seem to be very much into this stuff. I used to ask them what kind of music is that? They would always say 'dubstep' and I could never parse the connection between Hyperdub / Shackleton and this thing so I felt bad for being so out of touch with modern music.

So skrillex is a 16 y.o. girl?

I've had to just give up trying to correct people. The term's been co-opted and it's the most ironic description now: "dubstep" has become music that's very bass-lacking, overproduced, and devoid of any syncopation or novel rhythmic variation or has absolutely no connection to UK garage.

Now I know how old punks feel, or my friends who listened to 90s emo/hardcore before "emo" was a meme describing hot-topic-friendly, poppy, whiney screamo music and its fans.

My wife says he looks like a goth-y sexually confused Corey Feldman. I agree.

Yes, I don't know what to do other than stay silent and change the subject. The friends I mentioned are cool humans and I struggle to find a reason to start lecturing them now on how they should not be listening to music made for US teenagers.
