not really talking about comparison, i don't think sacred cows are really entirely about comparison, it's the idea that everything he does is gold, it's not it's really very formulaic. Sure he's carved his niche but it's not progressed and ran new york for ages, and killed it as well because he was a sacred cow, not enough hip hop music from new york challenged his orthodoxy.

Re Miles Davis:
Are you sure? Compared to most names mentioned so far I'd say his reputation is more than deserved. I mean...Stone Roses?
Of course they milk the back catalogue and box up (rehash in some cases) every 'lost' session but for me he is a sacred cow (which is not to say that everything he did was brilliant).

The concept's embarrassing but I am SO there when it hits London.

i don't know why we haven't yet explored the Broadsheet Newspaper Consensus On Interesting Guitar Music, featuring the likes of:
The Arcade Fire (ooh, epic are we? so was lord of the rings. it was also boring.)
British Sea Power (why are they Interesting, supposedly?)
there must be lots more like this surely?
on a sort-of-related point, i think it's hilarious when journos get all wet talking about an 'intelligent' rock band just because said band has read a few books and went to university.

His new single is an absolute stinker...
Haha, "Radiodread"! Is that better or worse than Dread Zeppelin?
im just listening to 'Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band'. lots of big names guesting again, sugar minott, mykal rose, max romeo (?!)...
The British press loves to do this, don't they? They take seemingly random bands and bestow genius upon them with no real discernable justification. The last one I can think of is the Klaxons, but I remember they did it with The Coral, Muse, and a whack of others too.
Oh also, no one is allowed to fuck with J Dilla. It's almost punishable by total social rejection. They do the witch test on you.
