Fruits of procrastination, bass flavour

Xposting from my own journal, in case of interest:
I just spent most of my day putting together a YouTube playlist illustrating the genre boundary-straddling camp in (so called) bass music that seemed to really explode last year -- the ever-expanding population of the borderlands between dubstep/funky/grime/house/d'n'b/idm/name yr electronic/dance genre, you know, that lot Joy Orbison was pretty much the poster boy for. There were just enormous amounts of exciting things happening in those parts of the scene last year; this playlist can be seen as a small (and very personally biased) primer for anyone who'd like to explore it a bit more.
(It's also sort of a top list, of course, though it's obv somewhat limited by what's up on YT, and also lacks most of my more traditionally flavoured dubstep favourites of '09.)
