    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    apologies if this has already been mentioned, and No Country For Old Men was great and all (finally the Coen Brothers are back on it) but despite coming out at the last minute this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/ I would unreservedly recommend as one of the best films of 2007. The...

    Hands up if you don't 'get' Led Zep?

    dispensing with all the 70's posturing 'gods of rock' nonsense, Zep were what they were, products of a generation of white suburban blues/jazz fans that inherited those scenes' propensity for drug intake. Mid 60's, Page was in the Yardbirds, and they just amplified everything and pushed the...

    External hard drives...

    I'm looking to get an external hard drive to back up my iTunes library...Found a couple on amazon for as little as £70, though apparently these are not trustworthy. Also, heard complaints that once your music library is transferred to the hard drive iTunes is unable to find the files...I...

    2008 tips/predictions/hopes

    2008. -Will be interesting to see this newly rave-oriented thing develop further. I like bassline but isn't is it just garage? -New Cuban Linx. Apparently it'll carry the hardcore element that RZA shed from '8 Diagrams'. -Hope this year brings some surprises, so we can give them cool-sounding...

    Your last day

    Second that, total smothering of the senses. I would emotionally blackmail friends into joining me and give crack a go. Better yet act on my violent urges in the high street and see just how badly I get beaten up, using speedballs for anaesthetic. Can you tell I'm single?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    you misunderstood, I agree this year has had some quality mixtapes (the Axiom EP alone would have made it) and there was always something to be looking forward to, but the last couple of months have been comparatively slow to me...I think it's been long established though that the scene goes...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Whoever it was that upped the 2003 Riko/Doogz set - safe for that, it's wall-to-wall hype. The scene has been a bit flat lately... total disillusionment with shoddy mixtapes had set in, but I'm really feeling the Badness mixtape. He rolls out some classics and just merks it. 'Hyper bashment'...

    is this a 'bargain'?

    these would be my first decks, I already have some Cambridge Audio speakers with an amp...question is, would I be a total idiot to plumb for these?: http://www.decks.co.uk/products/dj_deck_packages/numark_packages/flexmaster2package john

    The deathly stranglehold of retro cool

    couldn't be bothered to read the other replies but it seems to me that the endless circle of 'retro' that guitar music is in is inescapable..i mean what more can you do with amplified guitars? We've had everything..clean, dirty, distorted, flanged, looped, white noisy, sitar pedals (hahaha)...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    safe for this, I simply can't get to these things. This really perked me up after nauseating sweetbwoy-fest that is 'Motivation Music Vol.3'. Grime is tacky by definition, but you need to have standards ffs

    attempt at a hip-hop mixtape

    a compilation of hip-hop from 1988-1996 (good times)...don't claim to be a bod in this area but as a compilation I was pleased with the flow of this one. I've done many 'mixes' for fun and upped them onto facebook (fruitlessly) but it was always dissensus where the music fans took interest. Good...

    music you've been enjoying lately

    lots of guitar pop and horrible catchy tat. and random niche/bassline tunes..i want to know more about this music..sounds like garage. is it the same stuff they effectively banned in Sheffield?

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    bzing! love the concept of these studio recorded merk-fests, the good ones are generally wall-to-wall grimey goodness...I'd like to see Devlin branching out a bit, mind. why can't he just make friends with Roll Deep camp and get some collaborations going, he needs a decent producer to go with...

    wu-tang's hidden gems

    one of my favourites, cames as an extra on my copy of ODB's first album (a stone cold classic)...if there's more of this stuff i want it :D

    music you've been enjoying lately

    courtesy of droid - Saxon vs Ghettotone, Lewisham, '83, Papa Levi vs Les Lyriks - fucking amazing...i came into it having only my ragga stuff to compare it to but it's better, the DJ even spins Lone Ranger's 'the answer' at one point... i guess this stuff was the genesis of UK MC's, just...

    prinzhorn dance school

    their music sounds like the dribblings of overfed children. like most guitar music these days it's rehashing ideas that have been realised many times in the last 30 years and it's boring. i'm sure Vice love them. pants. i don't think this kind of tot can't legitimately pass as an excuse for art...

    Neutral milk hotel

    me and a friend have a slightly different slant on Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, all these Elephant Six bands of the 90's...he's a musician and obsessed with musical form and songcraft so it's all rooted in the Beatles thing, all those bands had the 60's influences...
