none. theres just a whole lot more of america so as a result more shite

the british music press likes to diefy uk artists. nobody gives a shit if you're working elsewhere

spoken like a true american.

last time i read the NME they couldn't shut up about bands like white stripes & the strokes. granted, this was a few years ago, but they seemed to have a fairly easy time deifying americans

best thing about america: the price of gasoline
best thing about UK: pants = underware.

america created techno & hip-hop, then british people wanted to become american b-boyz so they created jungle.

i would think fanny = vagina would trump pants = underwear.

see the movie "modulations" and that's what the detroit dudes say
jesus - like a red rag to a bull. jungle is not the bastard child of hiphop and techno.

it took a couple of posts before the americans come out with an inferiority complex.

a little sensitive there fishfingers?
need some ice?

lol


these are just my impressions as a casual observer... seems to me uk artists have actually managed to make a living off electronic music. at least in the 90's. not sure about now. warp and mu guys seem to have made some decent $. more electronic music fans in UK. ask US people for a popular US em artist and they might say moby or BT, not a lot of edge or "cred".

bsr, good video, but damn... videos like that always depress the living hell out of me. you can pretty much convince 70% of people of anything. they have no fucking clue. i guess geography has not been taught in US since 1950? not to mention poli-sci.

I have a degree in geography, two actually.

I didn't mean "versus" in the boxing match sense. I'm personally more interested in the evolving scenes of the past 30 years , how they effected each other and the cultural climates that imparted upon them.
