    Lady Sov's Stateside success

    They've said all the same things about Sov that they said about M.I.A. before her, and Ms. Dynamite before her ... and short of getting a Honda advertisement, I can't see much happening in the states with chart/commercial success. Unless she decides to start dressing like Gwen Stefani or Fergie...

    professional/ DJ earplugs

    I paid $150 for a set of custom molded earplugs after having a really bad ear ache after WMC '04 and still think it's the best $150 I've ever spent on music. If you're serious about going to clubs for any extended period of time, I highly suggest getting top-notch earplugs. Cheapy plugs you...

    DC Hardcore

    All I can say (or should that be "What can I say?") is that Dag Nasty ruled my High School years. I went online a couple of years ago and found all their original stuff re-issued on CD. They are by far the best hardcore band ever! If you don't know them, you'd do yourself a big favor to check...

    Wiley---2nd Phaze

    Funny thing is I just read a review of "Hardest way to make an easy living" where the reviewer said that this latest Streets album was so much better produced than his other albums because he's now raking in cash and such. I don't know 'bout that ... I think this latest release is the worst...

    Wiley---2nd Phaze

    I enjoy 2nd Phaze ... especially all his little intros about why he left XL, how he wasn't canned from the label but left for artistic reasons, etc. Still, my vote for best album so far in the Grime full release category has to be Kano's album. The thing I noticed most though is how much...

    what is funky house?

    Heh ... good analogy ... definitely the soundtrack of Miami Beach wanna-be-euro salons as well.

    New Order vs the Rolling Stones

    Yes, definitely agree there. Sabbath was daaaaark! As for the reason comparing Led Zep to The who, well, Robert Plant obviously bit his style from Roger Daltry circa Woodstock. :o. We also have this quote from http://www.led-zeppelin.com/bio.html "Their first British show took place October...

    New Order vs the Rolling Stones

    Related to this thread, here's a question I always pose for heads and like to see where people are coming from. Is it Led Zeppelin or The Who?! My personal opinion is that The Who get my props over Led Zep every time ... I respect the early mod vibes.

    "Devil Mixes"

    Yeah, I really miss my devil mixes. They were always great for transitions from grime/dubstep to 4x4 or vice versa ... worked really well in the mix to give transitions or make a punctuated statement for the next song to drop. I like the anecdote that Wiley stopped doing them because they were...

    Roll Deep Grimey Vol 1

    That seems more like a document of the transition of the scene from 2-step to grime. I mean, I like boo, my philosophy, dollar sign etc very much ... but I never would have called them grime when they came out. Obviously, we're missing a few 8-bar tunes to really make it a thorough record of...
