i will confess that i like even the crap woody allen films so i liked the new one. its not a return to form, but surely no one thinks a new WA film could ever really be a RTF at this point so i never expected it to be. the cameos of authors/artists etc was fun, but some of the performances were...

i dont know how colonial histories are regarded/dealt with in other european countries but im guessing its the same in spain/france/portugal etc as in britain. the west might be good at hailing BRIC countries as a threat but i dont see any sign of its self image crumbling any time soon. in fact...

to backtrack a bit, i dont like niall ferguson cos he might not present a defence of empire exactly, but its still a 'yes some things went wrong but mostly what came out of it was good and positive' and so on. its the argument you hear that ok it wasnt nice, but it was necessary, sort of like...

niall ferguson should just be a daily mail columnist. doesnt deserve as much credit as he gets.

roc symphony is cool too. yeah its not like rashad and spinn are ultra polished. the way he used samples on those two ghettophiles ep were pretty rough sounding.

this is really really good. everyone should listen to it. i liked pretty much everything he played. weird to hear david toop speak, ive never heard his voice before.

that ricky gervais thing last night just seems to prove he should prob retire now. the whole thing basically amounts to 'HAHA small people HAHA'. the funniest bit was liam neeson. but then thats basically like the extra series. maybe he should stick to writing about celebby stuff.

i say let aziza post what he likes, bias or not. its fun.

how much can a grime dj command i wonder....

whose name begins with b.

i kinda agree with that summary of nate - apart from a few proper standouts (hatas our motivation, footwurk homicide, make em run, back down - i just love that old sample), it does sound a bit like someone still figuring their way around how to produce. i didnt think the roc album was all...

interesting. will check it out.

well im not in chicago, but id say they cant fuck with me, i make her say, fuck dat (this one especially) are all pretty stunning...

i love how the melody line in the 'why' track just come in abruptly like he just punched it in without caring about it coming in properly this is still my album of the year... i thought i would get bored of it but i havent. good to see dabrye get a top 20 list on factmag btw. i think kuedo has...

it should be... will keep you posted.

i know rashad and spinn are great and kind of like scene representatives at this point but id like to see some other guys come over here too. dj roc seems to favour a harder style so id like to see him. wish more footwork was on vinyl though - the bass sounds so good on record. i was wrong about...

i like raw too. grime wouldnt be one of my favourite musics if i didnt.

are there any documentaries about footwork/juke? i have one juke dvd dj slugo sent me, but its prob more of a risky roadz type thing rather than a documentary.

did you make it down? hope you enjoyed it. there were only 4 walkouts during trash humpers, which isnt bad!
