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

    Thanks for all the suggestions! All massively inappropriate but appreciate the input :) I thought I'd found the perfect song but then it goes and includes the lyric "god kills a kitten every time he sees you masturbate"... bit early in the term for that I reckon..

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

    Evenin' Could do with a bit of help. I'm a primary school teacher and I'm gonna do my class assembly all about technology in general and the internet in particular. In order to pad the assembly out a bit (and to please the parents) I want to fit in at least one song. So yeah, any suggestions...

    CRICKET!! breaking news, gossip, lies, whatever etc..

    Yeah, and actually only the fastest test hundred at Lord's.. but still. Such a good day. Shame the weather looks like it's gonna ruin the second test.

    CRICKET!! breaking news, gossip, lies, whatever etc..

    Well that was one of the best test matches in a long, long time! I was at Lords yesterday to watch Stokes get the fastest ever hundred by an English batsman. Touch!

    Semi hip 40 year old takes his book collection to the charity shop...

    I'm thinking probably a Slavoj Žižek that he's never read. Possibly a copy of Edward Said's Orientalism too. Also unread.

    Semi hip 40 year old takes his book collection to the charity shop...

    Cos, you know, he only really reads on a Kindle now anyway. And it'll be nice not to have to pack and move too much stuff once the contracts are exchanged on that 3 bed in Brixton. So, few trips to Cancer Research are in order. What's in the suitcases? Definitely some Dave Eggers. Probably...

    C'mon Dizzee's alright on that tune. Video is good too. Not enough Blackwall Tunnel shots in music videos if you ask me.

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    This is well worth a watch. I really like how much deep personal love and affection Skepta has for Request Line. When it gets dropped at 9:40 he reacts like he's just witnessed his child walk for the first time; pure pride and happiness!

    I'm in Exeter

    Does it still have the graffitied road sign that says 'Welcome to Totnes - twinned with Narnia'?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    That's a bit extreme innit?! C'mon he produced nuff classics and he was easily one of the best MCs around 05-07.

    funny reading back to the start of this thread when I was contemplating my first Dunwich Dynamo.. Done five of the fuckers now! I really wish I could get out more.. new baby makes it pretty much impossible at the moment though. Been to Epping a few times since moving to Edmonton. Anyway hope...

    SEMI HIP 40 YR OLD SELLS CD COLLECTION.

    Alanis Morrissette - Jagged Little Pill. Yeah, he knows it's not even remotely hip but you know what, fuck it, he doesn't care... It came out at a really special time.. Tony Blair had been elected leader of the Labour Party, the Premier League was starting to take shape nicely (helped in no...

    SEMI HIP 40 YR OLD SELLS CD COLLECTION.

    Good call on the MC Solaar. This guy definitely likes a bit of non-english-language hip hop. I reckon there's a Saian Supercrew in there aswell. I definitely wouldn't have survived the McCarthyist witch hunts for Un-dissensian RHCP activities when I was about 15..

    SEMI HIP 40 YR OLD SELLS CD COLLECTION.

    haha.. yep, this thread is a bit close to the bone.. and i'm only 32.. There's probably gonna be some Manu Chao in there. And I'm guessing a couple of the Dylan bootleg albums.. although he might have bought those on 180g vinyl..

    Wasn't it Wiley who sent for Ghetto with "you're just an angry Kano" and then Tinchy who called him a 'Kano rebore'

    A Dummy's Guide To ____

    Kano's a funny one. I've got a couple of NASTY sets where as soon as he jumps on the mic it's like oh shit, this guy is so much better than everyone else. He should have been massive. Easily as marketable as Dizzee etc. Never really happened for him though. Remember when he was on that Sky...

    what are you reading now?

    Yep, the Uncle Fred books are excellent. I watched this Wodehouse documentary recently. He's a funny character - seems like he really didn't want to anything whatsoever apart from write.. even if there was a party going on his house he'd just lock himself away in his study, come out now and...
