Any audio/video available? Excuse my ignorance, but what does the above mean?

Got this in the post yesterday. A great Primer I think (I imagine it wasn't easy pitching this one to the Wire editors). Big thanks to the blissblogger. As with all good Primers I wish there was a CD to go with it, more so now as most of these tracks will have become very hard to find indeed.

Sounds like a really good time! London crew get your culos down to this, you lucky b*******. ;)

Seriously? I can think of a thousand more deserving -and capable- people.

@ RR I know what you meant. I just reversed the question, as it were, and in my story the DJ sheds tears, not the audience. So some top DJs say they've had people weep at gigs. OK. But have you ever heard people coming home from a club saying, Q: "See the weepy c*** on the decks?" A: "Aye...

X, good to hear that about Nascente. They had some fine comps a while back, you could listen in on a variety of stuff for very little money. I'll look out for the reggaeton one for sure. If you can't get a hold of Hot & Spicy, PM me your address and I'll send you a copy. Checked your recent...

Would love to hear/read more about this, too.

Very recently. I slap on three roots tracks in an attempt to end a night of sin and excess (not me, for a change, it was work) on a spiritual high... and end up with tears streaming down my face onto records and sleeves and into my beer glass. Some sad figure I must have cut behind the decks...

Chutney soca / soca chutney (=popular music of the Indo-Caribbean community of Trinidad and Tobago.) JanuaryinGermany is OTM about bhangra (Punjabi/Sikh/North Indian) and indentured servants in the West Indies (who mainly came from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal and the Madras area/Hindu/Western...

Agreed, but didn't reggae do this before hiphop?

This article states 'Pot Cover was his first rhythm release.' Lenky's got plenty of other merits (loving the Bubble Up at the mo').

I concur with droid. The production credit on the Dutch Pot and (Chrissy D's) Strike like matches 7" (Size 8) goes to one 'Snapple Dapple', none other than Degree himself. He's also produced things as 'Papa Lover' and 'Rudy Valentino'. Degree has worked with a number of producers such...

Belgianisms. Compilations and some history off jahsonic.com.

Addendum re. Orff and the Third Reich. It's pretty certain today that he was not a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer. In fact, at the 1937 premiere of Carmina Burana, the Völkischer Beobachter [Nazi propaganda daily] criticized its use of Latin and even detected 'touches of jazz' (!). A second...

I don't know too much about Orff's political intentions, but the Carmina Burana (~1230 A.D.) itself is a collection of Old Middle/High German texts, with subject matter ranging from the highly spiritual to the raunchy and degenerate, drinking songs and the like. But yes, it does have much of...

I really, really rate Hillbilly Tape Music.

Dean Fraser! Some more Abyssinians pictures from the Vienna show...

I've always loved that song.
