I remember I used to check out Philip Sherburne's "This Month in Techno" articles until they stopped and I always had a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with them. Now someone new is trying to start it back up and it reads surprisingly similarly to how I remember them: always name-dropping artists I've never heard of, always championing a sub-genre I'm pretty sure doesn't exist (I guess it's 'funky' this month), and then just when I think I can't read anymore, it ends up recommending a bunch of legitimately good tracks that don't seem to have anything to do with all the preceding text.

Read the first page, will continue later. Cool how he mentions that Shed remix of Energy Fields which I'm completely in love with.
Yeah, I live in the UK and I always try to keep up with the most obnoxious trend-hyping media sources and I've never heard of "funky". It's pretty clear we're not talking about funky house in the sense I know it.

We love synonyms. Genres and slang: just more ways to say the same old shit.
