Noticed that New York Magazine thought the RWD mix was the best of the year Logan.. http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/arts/cultureawards/15286/index1.html yeah, doesn't look like there was much dancing or energy in the place. my best night of the year was probably seeing roll deep here in...

the live stream has been down for a while now. anybody having the same problems or know what's happening with it?

isn't it more about journalists picking up on the playstation generation thing which dizzee mentioned when he picked up the Mercury Prize?? can't imagine anyone thinking that dizzee was daft ('i'm articulate / I'm not an idiot') although i suppose getting stabbed in napa wasn't a great idea..

they came from just outside Edinburgh??

How much are you talking for a 6 CD set??

kind of. 'diamonds is forever' was written by John Barry & Don Black and is published by EMI and Kanye's publisher is...EMI!

you're right...the video is shite and not what I expected. i thought there would be blood dripping from the fingers of some iced out kings of bling but its in black and white and looks like it was filmed in prague or something. its good to see that NME is writing accurately and knowledgeably...

going home from work on the 159 from Streatham to Brixton a couple of years ago was a good place to hear grime rhymes and made me realise then that there was a bit of an mc revolution goin on. kids were attemptin to make the eskimo riddim with their mouths...

Quite a good article about how the grime scene is using mobiles: http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,68265,00.html Are they replacing beatboxing in cyphers? I wouldn't have thought they'd be loud enough!

agree with your point about the catholic church and its opposition to the excesses of the free market. protestantism has played a rather large role in the development of capitalism though I think. i haven't read it but isn't this what Max Weber's book about the protestant work ethic is all about?

you buy can buy call time to phone landlines so that's how they get paid. not sure how much this brings in though if most people are using it to communicate from computer to computer. there was a good programme about it on bbc1 a few weeks ago where some silver surfers in scotland were using it...

I haven't seen the video yet but have heard from a friend that it is a pretty macabre and hard hitting sting on bling. I was really disappointed by the lacklustre lyrics on the original version and according to this article in Vibe...

Does that include James Brown, who closed the show at Murrayfield???

Does anybody have a link to the Ekow Eshun article? The Independent website doesn't have a search facility and I can't find it via google.

and they do that annoying thing on their site where they only publish the first couple of paragraphs of articles.. :confused:

You used to be able to get in a couple of good newspaper shops in Soho. Try the ones in Old Compton Street. I'm in Scotland where its hard enough to find a copy of The Wire so I've no chance of finding a copy!

you're right mms. that track was blinding and I loved it down to the bone. probably because it was catchier, quirkier and more playful than a lot of grime at that time...

www.kultureflash.net usually lists interesting cultural tings that are happening in the smoke...

Thanks for this. Any idea what time us UK listeners should tune in and whether it'll be archived?

I remember being at a club in NYC in 96/97, think it was called Vinyl, and all the breakers were in the house room which was pretty bizarre. Suppose it was the speed and the space that they needed as the hiphop room was rammed.
