    i am in osaka

    mmmmmm - go to dotonbori/shinsaibashi/namba probably the most lively parts of Osaka for streetlife although i had great kushiage (like tempura but breaded instead of batter) in Tennoji - there's also a weird yakuza controlled redlight area around there and Japan's largest slum area called...

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    It depends on whether you trust the musical taste of the people promoting the dance doesnt it? I've lost count of the times i've been to FWD over the years to witness previously unknown (to me at least) dj's under the red light. I'm quite happy to gamble and pay to see someone i've never heard...

    twitter

    like the 2012 version of the elevator pitch - i used to get a lot of this kind of stuff from former tutors (Architecture) - i'd present some work and they'd say "if i can't understand it in 3 seconds then its worthless etc... etc... " Got really grating after a while - everything became...

    twitter

    The 140 limit is a bit annoying sometimes. I do feel it limits people's expression and as such i dont think Twitter is a good forum for detailed one to one conversation. The trending topics is a total red herring, I never ever look at them, and i'm sure many other people dont either. Real...

    How England Sees Itself

    Apparently there will be simulated rain at the Olympics opening ceremony on this stage Also, nurses and chickens to feature according to mock the week. Its being orchestrated by Danny Boyle so i'm still holding out for it to all be some hilarious piss take, but somehow i think the urge to...

    downloading music

    This issue seems to have gone through a period of relative quiet over the last couple of years, though i guess there's been much bigger things to be worrying about at the moment. Post-2008, has the argument changed shape at all? i was reading this blogpost, arguing that artists should be...

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    I think the last post got it bang on. I was thinking a little more, and it struck me that the absence of community in the physical sense is the limiting factor. If you interpret road rap as partly an evolution of the grime scene (similar actors, customs, aspirations, methods etc...) then what...

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    i didnt quite follow that bit there - what do you mean? @slackk - i think ideas evolve and change as much as the sounds do. I'm not sure i could reduce grime to a singular idea, but i do think that ideas fade aswell, that they need to be sustained by the community they're centred around for...

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    I take that point, i mean, how could you appreciate what you've created if you're relentlessly pushing ahead with new ideas. But without creativity where would we be, we wouldn't have music in the first place. Theres a balance to be kept or either end of the argument might win out. In that...

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    does Kahn fit into this thread at all? Since the rise of wobble i've pretty much steered well clear of dubstep, but recently i keep hearing this guy around the net. I'm not quite sure what to think about him yet. Part of me really loves his tunes, his ethos even - the musical references, the...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    wow, i know i've been sleeping on grime for the last 3 or 4 years, but thats heartening to read. I used to chat with flashg on slsk way back when i could be bothered to download music. He wasnt producing back then, nice to see that he's getting recognition and his beats are really deep aswell...

    global financial crash yay!

    thank you mistersloane, luka and bruno - been a long while since i posted here the drawings have appeared in a few places. I did my first one as an entry to a competition (Vent) protesting the hike in fees for architecture students, so it got a short airing at RIBA. Then i sent them along to...

    global financial crash yay!

    thank you both for the comments, yeah i've got them uploaded on my site here and here really i'm looking to flesh out a small series of neo-feudal drawings, i have ideas for another 6 or so but they are quite time consuming to produce
