    What are you writing?

    c'mon McEwan is great.. his first 6 or 7 books especially.. The Child in Time is probably his best. But yeah, the ending to Saturday was incredibly far-fetched. Shame, cos it was really good up until then (I particularly enjoyed the writing about Fitzrovia, one of my favourite parts of...

    The gentrification of Grime

    Yeah it's weird that this thread is appearing now in late 2015.. as other people have said, surely this has been going on for ages? Re: Prancehall - Luka, you've always been up calling him out in a big way (not the first time you've called him a cunt!) but was he really that bad? Surely his...

    Bad influences

    As someone who was equally obsessed with DMZ etc at this time, I 100% agree with this. In fact, I wrote something pretty similar for my Roots of Caspa mix: "Mix of old Caspa tracks from 2006-2010. Along with Rusko, Caspa is probably seen as the main cause of dubstep's rapid descent into...

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    I know the director of that Ronaldo film.. taught both his daughters in primary school. His previous films have all been pretty serious and worthy so this is a bit of a departure!

    NASTY Crew vs. Roll Deep

    just to be clear, i'm not claiming Roll Deep were better than NASTY, just contending the claim that they were shit on radio.. anyway those days seem like such a long time ago now.. in fact i suppose one of looking at it is that those days are as far back from now as jungle was at the time of...

    Songs about the internet / technology (for school assembly!)

    So in the school where I work (very middle-class state primary school in an affluent part of North London) each class has to do two assemblies a year. But unlike most schools, where assemblies are low-key affairs and consist of the children mumbling something about what they've been studying in...

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    My new favourite photo on the internet. Got 7 packs of halloumi in the fridge at the moment. If it ever drops below 3 packets I start to get anxious and twitchy..

    Songs about the internet / technology (for school assembly!)

    Had a first run through of Rather Be with my class today. The music teacher in my school is great and she did some mad arrangements with the song.. loads of different harmonies and stuff. Sounded so sick! Will try and get of a recording of it.

    Songs about the internet / technology (for school assembly!)

    I just cannot bring myself to use a Katy Perry song in one of my assemblies. Jess Glynne is a good call though. This could definitely work (although in YouTube terms it hasn't had THAT many views.. and I did use it as backing track in my last assembly but that's less of a problem) Also...

    Songs about the internet / technology (for school assembly!)

    UPDATE - had a breakthrough today! Realised that the best segue-way into doing a song in an assembly about the internet is to talk about the way the internet has changed music consumption, youtube, spotify, downloads etc.. then that way I can legitimately use pretty much any popular song from...

    True Detective

    Yeah second season was a major disappointment really. Acting wasn't all that bad.. thought Colin Farrell was surprisingly good actually. Vaughan a lot less convincing but certainly not terrible. Thoughts on the Leonard Cohen soundtrack for the intro?
