No, really, that's an awesome idea! I hate people that show up at these things with a pencil stuck behind the ear insisting they arein fancy dress (scorekeeper at a croquet tournament in this clever git's case).

I've a question I've been mulling over for a while now but still can't put into the right words :slanted::mad:, and something a few people were saying over on the Radiohead thread got me thinking again - that bit about indie bands being inspired by/ripping off truly mind-bending music (or in...

This is the business! :D:D:D:D:D

Thanks a lot gavin, d/l now.

Some SA house mixes on deeper.co.za, but the stuff I've heard up to now is a bit meh, tbh. I suppose this is more like it?

The Tsotsi soundtrack is great too, if you've not yet heard it you can get some of the tracks here. Wish I had more of this.

Thanks gavin, but surely you mean these muppets here

You're free to talk and think and arrange your cd's in any way you like, of course, and without meaning to offend anyone I think ranking countries according to your musical taste is a trivial exercise. That's all. But if the conclusion is that your ears need to get out more and you suddenly...

Please, stelfox, upload some! You've let hints drop here and there that you are sitting on a stash of this great stuff, straight from the source! Any chances of a lil' sampler of some of the ruffer sounds as development aid for the musical beggars?

Sorry -- to me this seems a totally pointless question, music is the product of a fantastically complex and fertile network of global inspiration and cross-pollination and it's so incredibly limiting to think of it in terms of "origin" as defined by political borders and obsolete nationalist...

Caught the tail end of his set on Saturday night/Sunday morn here in Monterrey, the sound did him no favors but even at modest volumes it was ravey bliss. Awesome. I wonder what he'd sound like on a big rig though, playing to 5000 instead of 50 people. Saw him last December in Portugal, real...

...written by fellow Dissensians, btw.

Love the Onion, but to be fair there's some very good Pitchfork columns you'd be a fool to miss, This Month in... Dancehall/Reggae, Grime/Dubstep etc. especially.

Excerpts from his last interview: Best part: MJ (then aged 16) talking his local newspaper editor into paying him to write a column on pubs!

Three, actually. If England's victory keeps Russia from qualifying for Euro 2008, Guus Hiddink should also be looking for a new job in a few months' time. But then it might be too late to replace McClaren, and I'm sure Abramovich is already pulling strings to get Hiddink. Silly but fun to...

No shame in that, I think, it was bad luck for Sevilla to have had their Champions League opener away to Arsenal. I think they'll catch on quickly and should make it through the group phase. English Premier League. Chelsea management outdo the Spurs board in stupidity. If Jol must go, how...

Please mrsloane, kindly pm Stelfox and let him give you the names of some of the kwaito and zulu house artists/CDs he knows. And then share the goodness with us. :D

Disclaimer: sorry, major derailment up ahead. The Goya reference made me think of this picture . Resistance is obviously very strong in Mexico (for a start, it's the only developing country that shares a border with the US!) especially in areas where there is still a sizeable indigenous...

Fernando Botero? I'm sure you know Diego Rivera too, he's got some awesome (political) murals. I love this one (from the UNAM campus in Mexico City). Wonderful stuff. Mexico has some really great mythological/political murals, the most impressive I have seen so far was in Tehuacan (Puebla)...

Any new nuggets of wisdom after the weekend games? New speculation on the possible replacement of Martin Jol by Juande Ramos in the Guardian today, I just cannot see this happening to be honest. Can the Spurs board really be so dumb, and would Ramos leave a Sevilla side equipped to challenge...
