Some good calls here, personally I always thought the dubby flipsides of freestyle 12"s had all the real action, "On the Upside (Dub)" or the Shannon tracks are just incredible. Those Hot 105 mixtapes on apollojams.com (bass & freestyle section) look very tasty, the tracklistings alone are...

A great game where cheating is positively condoned. :D

Lisboa and Portugal in general are awesome, I go at least once a year to visit my parents who live there. You will not regret a visit. I'm by no means more than a beggar for good tunes without any knowledge or heavyweight connections, but writing quickly I'll share the little wisdom I have...

Hawkwind - Space Ritual I suppose. The Stasis comp is pretty good too. Gong Live Etc. has some good bits on it IIRC. Outtakes, innit. This merits a long and winding thread all by itself. Some incredibly good stuff, obviously Matching Mole, Softs, Hatfield and the North, the awesome Caravan...

If it was up to me I'd give Hiddink the gig. A top class coach, for sure. Not so convinced Scolari could adapt to coaching a non-Brazilian or non-Portuguese team (though he's done good work wherever he's gone). Btw, England group for Euro 2008: England Croatia Russia Israel Estonia Macedonia...

:) Beautiful place, that. Some friends got married on a beach of Gran Roque, real postcard-style. It's great for fly-fishing, too, for those so inclined.

Eden as ever OTM. But what a terribly depressing list this is.

Guus Hiddink? What about it?

I find they're not a patch on your Gutbucket Disco mix. Seriously.

RDP África (Portuguese state radio, transmitted from Lisbon) features lots of music from Lusophone Africa (Angola, Moçambique, São Tomé e Príncipe, Cabo Verde) and sometimes Brazil. Some ace music programs so plenty of kuduro, afro-zouk, kizomba, etc but also lots of talk shows. Listen here...

:confused:

Matt, super sweet stuff this, thanks. Sorted for the weekend soundtrack! I love the new version of "Oh Mr. D.C." - if I must nitpick then the only thing I find I could say was that I wished you'd programmed the Sugar Minott original (just how good is that song!) back to back with this but don't...

Oh fuck. I loved this guy. Some Real Audio sounds here (scroll down). Who's Wilson Pickett?

Fucken hell, does this ROCK. :p On my second listen now and I'm loving it even more than the first time round. Great selection, great vibes and, as always, props to your mixing skills, Dowee, the flow is awesome. Thanks, man, very appreciated.

Wow, Matt, this looks excellent. It's got tracks from all those compilations you hipped me to in that recent reggae thread, too, I see... Awesome, thank you.

Ditto. Could someone please re-up this?

Not to forget Lukas Podolski up front, a notch above Klose, Kuranyi and Asamoah I think. The Germans have done a lot of good work in the absence of qualification matches. They have some good young defenders in addition to Lahm, like Hinkel, Friedrich or Mertesacker. Bernd Schneider was...

Talked to a Portuguese football nut in Lisbon yesterday and he had a theory I'd like to float here. This fellow said that, regardless of whom they field, Brazil would not win in 2006 because there's an established pattern that has held since Brazil's victory in Sweden '58. Ever since then, when...

So it's OK for butchers at a Mexican WalMart to join a union while their US counterparts lose their job attempting to do the same thing? Get real. It's common knowledge that one of the reasons why multinational corporations can afford to act in this way is because they can easily move...
