I was thinking about this today. I listen to lots of hip hop and grime but if I try to rap I sound at best something like Roland Rat on 'rat rappin'. It seems to be something that only da yout can master - anyone beg to differ?

Nothing to do with grime this one, though should be worth a look in. I'll be there disc-jockeying (as 'coventry dave' not the 'dave-rocky-nervous' that the flier suggests). It's a fund-raiser for a hackney fanzine and the 2 day summer festival on Vyner St. The bands are a mixture of...

When in the day/week do you get the chance to listen to music? Where and how do you listen to music (for instance do you banish yourself to the bedroom/spare room and listen with headphones or do you share your listening with others in the living room on the family hifi)!? I listen on a...

I read this over the Christmas holiday and really liked it. It’s the story of Cohn, a middle-aged Ulsterman with a background in (mainly sixties) rock journalism, taking up residence in New Orleans’ projects in the late 90s and slowly immersing himself in the local bounce/rap scene…this...

Reported in today’s Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1660371,00.html I’ve been in the squat a few times in the last week to lend my support….as have plenty of other professionals, new media types, artists…hang on it’s the ‘gentrifyers against gentrification’! (this strange...

Some people think that eating meat is similar to child abuse...other see vegetarianism as misplaced empathy. I'm with the latter, but wouldn't mind hearing some views...?

Two things I heard on the radio over the weekend made me ponder this, Laurie Anderson's 'O Superman' and The Tornadoes ‘Telstar’ – both extremely conceptual and “weird” but also both huge hits. What other chart-toppers fit this bill?

I'm promoting a night (showcasing grime artists) called "Dirty Canvas" Ruff Sqwad kick it off on Friday 4th November. The venue is the Whitechapel Gallery.... more details to follow

Vyner Street festival - London E2 - this weekend (26/27 Aug) This Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon onwards, they’ll be live performances and djs on Vyner Street E2, which is kinda sandwiched between Hackney and Bethnal Green (off Cambridge Heath Rd in close proximity to Victoria Park, Broadway...

I mentioned this in another thread a while back and now (cos it looks as if all the clearances are in place and it will happen) I’m looking for anyone who might be interested in getting involved, performing or having a stall. Performance-wise: I’m after bands and djs of all faiths – though the...

Amazing track using wiley’s colder riddim and bringing together some of E3’s finest mcs…kicking off with God’s Gift’s reviving ‘know we’, and moving through to tinchy, flow dan, wiley, jammer, slicks, trim, dirty danger & others. Musically what’s interesting is the use of signature basslines for...
