Whoa. Those stuttered beats and extended intro on La Rock...

Oh god but how good is he at talking? That reggaeton piece is brilliant... What did people think of gunpowder, btw? I gotta say I preferred the Bidoun sessions thing. The arabic stuff he does is way the most interesting of all his output...

This is damn good. Wish I wasn't listening to it at work at 11am tho.

Yeh, but you can't ignore that this cd dynamic thing cuts both ways. Grime hasn't had a CHANCE to become popular because your average punter in birmingham can't either buy it in the shops or hear it on the radio. Tracks like "gone" or "jenny" or "boogeyman" not to mention "pow" have as much...

Question: the Gemma Fox track - my copy of that is on Paperchase with a yellow label and is credited to Gemma Fox and 2Face. Is the Kano one a new version?

God, the US is like the promised land for disco 12"s. They're bloody hard to find in Britain - most have ended up in the hands of collector types years ago, just because the total pool of them in the country was always pretty small. Gotta go back there soon... Does anybody here travel...

It's not got a good pedigree. House and Hip Hop haven't tended to mix all that well. Tru Playaz used to do some nice jungle remixes of hip hop around 96 or so, and there are some good 4beat garage hip hop remixes, but straight up house, I'm not sure about. Recently stuff I can think of was...

I mean, otherwise it's like hating on Talking Heads for ripping off "proper disco". Not that I even like Talking Heads, but I still think that'd be a dumb-ass line to take...

What Matos said on the credibility issue. So long as you don't judge it as any kind of a scene record, I think Galang is pretty good fun - the "hey ya heyyyy" chant bit is nice. And the MIA/Diplo thing isn't like any sort of work of genius, but the tunes they choose on it are all good'ns. Put...

Then: Liquid bar, Pitman street. Mile End pool club. Sir John Soames museum, in the basement. Martin's house in Camberwell. Now: Newton circus hawker centre, table 77, after midnight. Barbecued sotong and Tsingtao with ice. Bedok Pier, with headphones, watching kids fish for crabs...

= middle class slumming =working class flossing

Actually anything with breakbeats and made between '91 and '94 is going for mad cash on eBay right now, doesn't seem to matter which country. I reckon that stuff is rare anywhere....

Back in '94 I swapped Aphex "red label" and "blue label" for 4 e's and a wrap of crystal. Absolutely moronic thing to do, I dread to think how much those are worth now...

Oh, and to clarify in advance - I'm not endorsing the position: "masculinity and femininity are just constructs, maan, we're all just texts, there are no such things as bodies". Just pointing out that it's more than hormones. Thank fuck for that! And to generalise a little from here, I'd say...

It's the one with the "everywhere we go-oo people always ask us" chant on it. May have been re-titled - it was on a green lantern tape last year.

Any love for the scampi fry? Those curious little hollow packages only available in pubs... A special kind of pleasure, they are. I always thought somebody should start a movement of "cuisine artificielle" with restaurants serving only the finest chemical flavours. Scampi fries as an...

Did D Block's "2 gunz up" ever make it onto an album? Because that's an absolute killer.

Um, referring back several posts, but I'd just like to interject that people can say science is a discourse as much as they like, but science is not and will never be epistemologically equivalent to critical theory. The thing that makes science science, is that it is based on empirically...

Woot! Today, in a singaporean secondhand shop I got the following for 5 singapore dollars each (about 1.50 UKP): Incredible Bongo Band - "Bongo rock" Sun Palace - "Winning/Rude Movements" Sandy Nelson - "Compelling percussion" Harry Thumann - "Underwater" Army of Lovers - "Massive Luxury...

Looks to me like it could be from a Lime Tree. You can tell those because they're slightly sticky.
