Did anyone here go to see the Slits at Selfridges the other week. I was away but would be interested to hear if anybody made it (Specialy in such an incongruous setting).

Is this just about music ?? Oh well ...Id' like to nominate Janet Cardiff's - The Missing Voice , an audio walk through Whitechapel. May be the reason that it had such an effect on me was the timing of my walk, on a dark wet winter afternoon much like today. The compression of time which it...

old garde Lil' Louis - French Kiss. was shocked when it charted

and another thing also found that you can get deals on 2005 models as the 2006 models have started to enter shops.

I am also currently shopping around for a hybrid (having had yet another bike nicked) and have tried out various models and it sorta depends what you want and what your attitude to cycling is. I feel the need for speed but dont want to be hunched over my front wheel as I have a 16mile round...

In a way they both encapsulate the best and worst in popular music. Both banal and sublime, in placing them together you highlight their similarity. Their journeymen attitude to their craft. The similar demographic that they service and their obvious love of Satan’s cock. You know they are both...

I'd be interested to hear the impressions of people who were in London today. I'll give you mine. Heading in to central London today my train stopped at Plaistow, one stop from were i joined it. We'd stopped for five minutes or so ( not an unusual occurence with London underground ), when the...

Anyone who has a problem with Sinclair's style, but is nevertheless interested in the stuff he writes about, might like to hunt down 'A Journey Through Ruins : The Last Days of London' by Patrick Wright. Wright, I gather, is a buddy of Sinclair's, and I've always considered his book as being a...

Yeah I remember there being a certain amount of resentment towards Frankie Bones at the time from various quarters. Though a significant part of the out put from Brooklyn at the time were DJ tools rather than mashups. Mash ups seem to stand up as tracks on their own whereas stuff like the...

I avoid using headphones - far too intense. I need some air between my music and my ears. Just been listening to your mix actualy John and very good it was too - Dancing in the office is sometimes frowned upon tho :D The bloke sitting opposite normaly plays Radio 6 (Dad) in the mornings which...

Yeah your right that is sad. Is'nt this the section of the rivers that is already blocked off ? What do you mean its 'about to go' - Whats being done with it ? Should really go down there myself and have a look.... if thats ok with you Luka :D

is discussin beer/defining yourself by brand different from doing the same with music? 2 questions there and I'm finding it hard to seperatate them (liklle bit drunk ;) ) But yeah, it is different. The level of criticism is higher within, say some of the music threads on this forum and the...

Luka - What have you done? yeah well its beer innit, nothing critical and only cursory mentions of other intoxicants withought brands. How do you seperate the relationship between intoxication and taste? Before you start bigging up particular brands why do you give them preference? Why do...

Generation Fromage My first post. (well almost) Lurking on this forum for many months. I have felt little compunction to post , being aware that I was saving you all from my troll like behaviour and rabid rants. Cheese tho............now I 'm posting. I have been off the cheese for many...
