Gigs

Daft Punk at Hyde Park
went with v high expectations and credit to them, they delivered a big
fat sugar fix
Slint at Koko
Lost mine and a friend's tix for this gig the last time they toured so was v happy to see them come round a second time and they left me satiated
Fridge - Barden's Boudoir
was pleasantly surprised by this
Joanna Newsom - Royal Albert Hall
first time at the RAH and great atmospheric setting for the gig
Deerhoof at Koko
fun mix of sharp and twee
Optimo at Amersham Arms
finding clubs less attractive places to spend my time but had great
time here which might have something to do with getting out of the
usual haunts
Vyner Street Festival
can't remember particular highlights but great place to spend a day
with friends enjoying music and other delights

Well La Di Bloody Da
Wittyboy ‘spanish?(also as it is tv rmx)

It's 'Spanish Rose' on Witty Boy - 'Music Hustler EP'... SICK TRACK

This year has been all about the bassline, and a bit or two of dubstep

Two tracks that stand out for me...

PALEFACE + KRISSY B - STORMY WEATHER... absolutely killer bounce business
COTTI - I DON'T GIVE A DUB.... grittyness a gwan

i'll add more as they come to mind.
 

Sick Boy

All about pride and egos
There is a track on Jammer's mix-tape (no1) where he keeps sending for Wiley, did I miss something there?!

Well, there is a track on Are You Dumb vol. 1 ("Jammer vs. Wiley") where they clash each other, but it features Wiley, and it's hardly serious.

2007 was all about bassline for me. But also remembering and celebrating the late great Mr Wilson:

why is that lcd soundsystem record good i don't understand why everyone likes it, apart from each track sounds like other better records so it's handy to have a record with tracks on it together that remind you of other better records, but i thought that was whast ipod shuffle was for?
