    Patrick Keiller's 'London'

    much preferred robinson to london. felt london was too rooted in time/real life events, robinson felt more timeless (though paradoxically definitely of a time) mind you i saw robinson first, maybe that was the wrong order.

    '3 million' on the streets in France

    what ive neevr seen explained about this from e.g. the economist, is why this particular legislation is necessary to liberalise labour laws. the legislation is proposed to allow employers to sack employees under a certain age without justification - have i got that right? this seems a little...

    seeing grime live is almost always disappointing

    i thought skepta and jme were the best performers ive seem at a grime night, at 333 the other month. essentials were also good and working with the crowd etc. to be honest, as ive never experienced anything else, the chaos of >15 people on stgae, grabbing the mic, jarring constant rewinds etc...

    the long blondes

    the thing about the long blondes is that they wrote a song about the problem of segregation (from a transport point of view). its about the M18 and the M1 i think, and trying to cross them or something. segregation in this sense is the problems faced by communities when they are physically...

    Dirty Canvas with The Essentials, Friday 17th February 2006

    i thought jendor and nu era handled the fact that it was a "difficult" crowd really well, not getting frustrated like purple/g double seemed to be. they seemed to be actually having fun, and had a good spark between em. it was fun and cheap, so cheers for putting it on. i loved the sign at the...

    Piece on pirate radio in Friday's Guardian

    john, i dont think that the repsonses here to the grauniad piece are necessarily implying "priates = beneficial 100%", i think they are questioning the arguments and evidence that the article uses to paint a negative view of pirate radio. i.e. a good piece on pirates would be one that explored...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    maybe what scares people about vice is actually the fact, that like metro, free distributed publications are the way to go for the entire print media industry, and thus herald the end of that industry in its current format.
