there any links to the article? did he just re-hash what blackdown wrote about a few months back?
that'll keep him in martyn records.
prancehalls got a piece in nme on how grime became funky house.

i wouldn't know about the guardian blog comments. the most i've ever got on any of my posts is 5!
thanks, i got the martyn record eventually. i swear my postman is taking half my records. he only let that one thru cos it was recorded.
i haven't seen the nme piece but the article i sent them was about how funky house has become accepted by people who were into "urban" music. geeneus is making it, so is dj bossman (perempay), ng was in a grime crew, etc. i'm not sure if they have put a spin on it. i hear they have used quite an interesting choice of pics to go with it even tho i sent them photos of apple, ma1 and geeneus.
fuck me man those ppl on the boards of the guardian are the epitome of smug middle class know it all bores.
the football ones make me suicidal. as do most of the "urban music" ones.
You sound as though this has been a revelation
I remember working at The Times (even worse, obv) for free a few years back, when Ed Case was huge at the tail end of the garage. Did anyone there writing on music have a fucking clue who he was? Of course not.
