Ah, my 25 minute mix is "just shaded" by a 45 minute mix - just shows the sheer impact of my quality dubz!

Bit disappointed that the MC for Edentone hasn't provided any of her famed bars about her selector's tendency to feast on the eyeballs of drumpan soundboys after killing them in the dance.
It's Eden for me - a bit more variety and he hits the ground running whilst Meme takes a while to build. I'm a sucker for the female vocals as well.
Although, to be honest ,I feel woefully ill informed to truly pass judgement.
I shall be playing both to Junior Jenks on his way to the crunch match against Southend Manor next week and he will make his preference known.
Thanks for both of them, though.
So, Eden, what are you going to change the name of Meme's blog to?
![]()
"Beyond The Implode" has a nice ring to it.
Or perhaps "Paul Meme's dibby dibby soundbwoy emporium: all drumpan catered for, be they dibby or dibby dibby".
I shall give it until 11:30am on Friday this week and then decide, assuming I am still in the lead.
Although actually I can't think of anything sillier than what it's called now, but that's Paul for you - diffrent strokes and all that.

i finally had time to d/l these last night and will spend the journey home tonight listening and cogitating in order to post my decision.
i assume you are all excited as i am
I know you've been strutting around like a 18th century show pony this last week, tossing your mane around, whinnying and standing on your hind legs while waving your front hooves around to impress the wee Jacobite girls, but the votes are far from in. Stelfox and MMS have yet to cast their influential votes. As have I (to cast my vote, not act like some demented pony). Once I receive the discs, I will need a good few days to scrutinise the contents of each mix. Shouting "Mastication for the nation!" might win you favour in some quarters but, I can assure you, it won't wash with some of the rest of us
I await Matt and Martin's comments with some interest (and indeed MMS, Jenks Junior, Monkeysblood and all crew!).
I should clarify the point about my "strutting about like an 18th century show pony this last week."
Despite much baiting from Paul*, my strutting only commenced at 11:30am on Friday, as was appropriate.
*(including his gratuitous posting of pictures of military funerals! IS THIS HOW WE SHOULD HONOUR OUR WAR DEAD?!)

right, i l've listened to them both, so-
john does a history lesson on the rhythm, moving throught the years, building nicely. plenty of scorchers with which i am well aquainted (was john re-using tunes? rodigan would notice!)
paul does a modern live juggling mix, quite different to the effects draped stuff he's done of late (which tbh, was the style i was really looking forward too), however, tune selection is excellent and made the delayed wait at leeds station a pleasure (particularly as whilst walking through the station yesterday, i was stopped and searched by the police under the terrorism act)
very different in style and execution (the joy of reggae!)
however, "paul meme buys his tunes on the internet" from eden jr (i guess?) sways me, and its the mix i'll come back to more often.
not a burial, more a blown fuse meaning an early shutdown for paul's sound
respect to you both- do it again!

Well, I've heard Eden's mix. Not sure about the MC, I wish these honkies would stop trying to chat in patois, but this one barely bothers. Awaiting the Meme Machine's with baited breff.
