theres huge lists books like the 1000 best films, 1000 best books, 1000 best albums etc. the bfi does little pocket size list books of best indie films, best shakespeare films, etcetc (varying quality tho - the soundtracks one was the worst).

there isnt enough time to hear or find everything i read in lists

that cipha sounds list looks right up my street. been listening to a lot of late 90 nyc rap lately. the ego trip book is amazing. their big book of racism is good too. i have the rolling stones rock lists but the writing i find a bit annoying. and the lists are a bit boring. i thought people...

thats what was good about communism. and in a way, also what is good about some of what terrorists say about the west (though not everything, obv). it held up a mirror to the west's accepted ways of living.

i dont care about punk. it gets boring with ppl banging on about punk year after year. but you could compare it to hip hop from the late 80s/early 90s if you want to talk about political rap. i agree that yeah a lot of youth anger is never that well articulated but there at least it knew its...

im actually reading that now also.

"If preventing further looting is our aim, then as well as addressing the gulf between the haves and the have-nots, I'd take a long hard look at MTV Cribs and similar TV shows that routinely confuse human achievement with the mindless acquisition of gaudy bling bullshit. The media heaves with...

LISN BLUD

now im waiting for the mail article about 'good gangs' vs 'bad ones'.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/aug/14/young-british-rioters-political-actions this is good. and echoes my earlier comments about posing a threat to social order in terms of the rioters wreaking revenge on the police/showing them they cant do anything etc etc. :cool: doubt that...

i dont know know how widespread that is to make a cynical generalisation - in my area theres turkish shops which def ARENT that - but its just good that people can stick together, heroin dealers or otherwise. big society in action! :cool:

apparently theres quite a few turkish shops which double up as heroin storefronts so they might not be as wholesome as some might like to think. but thats my main problem with most of these 'good immigrant or 'good minority' discussions and articles - the way it has to be one or the other. not...

two music pieces on the riots http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/aug/14/krissi-murison-punk-pop-riots the funny thing reading this was that i thought 'well road rap and grime talk about whats going on' and i eye rolled when she talks about tyler from OF as the best representative of angry...

isnt that the community officers/volunteers do?

will always love the wu and raekwon but do feel hes sort of just repeating himself at this point. i can barely tell his verses apart now. though saying that i do kind of respect that in spite of that he is still writing stuff that eludes me. new wu tang album is actually enjoyable imo. mainly...

that game song is good. glad premier is still doing some stuff outside of his comfort zone (well with rappers outside his comfort zone, not like the beat is anything new for him). i cant tell if that guy talking about kanye thinks getting inspired by lily pads is a good thing or not. best songs...

one of you lot should tweet paul lewis or some other guardian journo with news about that march. the idea of sending that mother down cos her SON rioted and stole some stuff is fucking draconian. same for ppl getting 4/5 months for taking a few bottles of water or a bottle of wine. i mean, i...

can you good ppl recommend me some good new/recent mixtapes? watch the throne is a proper 'event' album though event albums are often just a bit shit. i liked HAM and otis but some of the other beats ive heard are weak. will see what the albums like though. kanye already did dubstep on his last...

dont totally see the greatness of that 1xtra mix but am really liking benny bs funky instros set. really well put together mix. speaking of which who do people nominate as the best funky dj? cos marcus might be the biggest, but i dont know if id say hes the best. be good if funky had its own oneman.

hopping out the whip and lenging men all the time down must take its toll as well.
