Ate at Wahaca in Covent Garden at the weekend after some good recommendations from friends. It advertises itself as "Mexican market eating". Maasssssive queue (had to wait an hour and twenty minutes, in which time we went round the corner to Texas Embassy and ate our own weight in nachos) but...

I saw the poster for that night and dismissed it as some crap D 'n' B with Plastician thrown in for the sake of credibility. Real shame as the video is pretty amazing! If I'd known it was actually gonna feature grime I might have made it my first trip to Matter.

Safely received my tape. Listening to it at the moment so hopefully I'll put up a brief review or comments later this week.

I'm fairly sure it was posted on their myspace sometime before Third came out. Unfortunately the archive doesn't seem to stretch past April 2008. Might be archived on a fansite or something... I'll have a dig around google.

Geoff Barrow from Portishead wrote a nice blog about this very subject . He basically laid into Morcheeba for stripping out all that was fresh in the Bristol Sound and producing a horrible kind of soulless trip-hop. I often think of Third as a direct reaction against the lazy categorization of...

Massive Attack - Just a Matter of Time I *heart* Bristol.

Interesting show on Radio 4 about EMI this morning, featuring a fairly extended interview with Guy Hands. The upshot seemed to be that, as has been said in this thread, EMI was a terribly inefficient company, ill-prepared for the tougher times and changes facing the music industry. The...

This was a total mess at Sonar, but then again it was performed live. Actually wanted to head down yesterday to see how it was in a more sedate atmosphere, but both screenings were sold out before I got myself organised. As Pestario says, the visuals are well Windows MovieMaker and the music...

There's a vid of the tadpoles in action here.

Studied Spanish for 5 years at school and can remember very little. Did a degree in Japanese Studies and can get by reading, listening and speaking, but still suck at Kanji so writing is a no-no if it isn't via a computer/mobile. I think I only have room in my head for two languages. Basically...

I'm pretty sure a track on the new Mogwai album uses sounds from Elektroplankton. I think its the one where the pink tadpoles bounce off the leaves and then fall in the water.

As a complete geek, I actually used to post on Rllmukforum at the time that these events were unfolding. There was a thread, since deleted I think, in which a friend/relative reported Yonlu's death to the rest of the forum, complete with scans of Brazilian newspapers etc. A very strange time...

Will give that a go next time I'm in the area - looks good! This also sounds very very tempting... will keep it in mind for a special occasion.

i'd be up for this again. received a very good tape last year which introduced me to a few things, so aye, put me down.

Cos on Regent Street. or Reiss.

Anyone know any any good Japanese restaurants in London? I'm particularly looking for Ramen or Sushi places, preferably not too pricey and as authentic as possible...

One impressive list. What's the deal with the new Akira film?

Some of the comments on the Melanie Phillips article are a real eye-opener: Eurgh.

are we gonna have a rolling election thread tomorrow night? i hope so!

Finding a physical copy of the first N.E.R.D. album can be a chore. There are certainly digital versions around though... Anyone heard the live version of Pharrell's album? It was recorded with Questlove in a very short period of time but shelved as the original version sold so badly. Heard a...
