Have you tried the kids on Captain Caveman, Woebot?

Alternative links for the maxed out crew: New Dawn Clarkee Ned Ryder DJ Sy Brockie

Links should still be OK, but I'll do some secondary ones this weekend if I get time.

I was in Sorrento when Italy beat Germany in the 06 world cup, and you have never seen anything like it. The whole town was on the street at 5am, kids, granny, the lot. There were scooters with 6 people on and Fiat 500s driving round with a dozen girls in bikini tops sticking out of the roof...

I'm so gutted for Scotland. Thier group was absolutely nails, they should have been dead and buried. To miss out in literally the last minute is such a gutter after the campaign they had. England are a utter, utter gang of muppets but I'm not sure what can be done about it. There's just too...

OK, so I recently decided that I no longer needed a cassette deck - and as a precursor to getting rid of it, I've been digitizing all my hardcore tapes (that haven't been broken, chewed, trodden on or left in other people's cars). And since many dissensians are the kind of people on whom the...

1000 albums and no room for Tom Jobim? Booo! Wave is one of my top 5 albums.

Watch, and cufflinks when I get the chance. I like the idea of wearing a chain, just a little one, but I can't find one I like. Occasionally I go gangsta with the help of a lot of very cheap, tacky 'gold' from Brixton market.

All my 3 'must hear' records are by people who's names start with letters later than H, so I'll have to wait til later in the week to pass judgement on this.

No I was talking about jackin' house being soulboy connoisseur music - it's all that New Jersey deep house, MAW jazz club thing. What saves it for me is the whimsical approach to sampling and the sheer dancability of it. A lot of the Nottingham lot have links to free parties, and I think that's...

I've been playing tracks from the El-Breaks records in house sets for years. You have to work at mixing them cos the swings so wierd but once they're in, it goes off.

Yes, that's my problem with it really. It's view of black music is strictly within soulboy connoisseur limits. But you can drop El-B and Horsepower records in with that stuff and it drops, no problem.

This is from Cream in 1994, pretty dope. http://www.sendspace.com/file/m64q12 I think I might have threatened to upload this mix upthread actually.

Yes, them and the US producers that are repped by people on that scene, like Jacob London.

What do people think about the jackin' house scene that's big in Nottingham? Their records are like a more quirky, forward version of bassline a lot of the time.

I saw him play a set in the mid 90s where he was going too fast to even put the records back in the sleeves, and he ended up with a pile of about 300 records on the floor behind him. His sets do get samey though. Hood is a way better DJ.

Can someone link to 'the news'?

Very different kind of show, but AD for me is the sharpest sitcom ever made. It's about a monumentally disfunctional family who go from riches to rags when the corrupt patriarch gets done for tax evasion. No other show better captures the pompous, brainless insanity of lalaland. Example: I went...

My favorite's gotta be Bubbles. He's so achingly human. David Simon has spoken about how Omar is the only character in the show who's 'pure', but for me, Bubbles represents a fundamental humanity. He can walk through hell, but his flame of basic decency never quite dies. The scene at the very...

The deli under the railway station (about 6 doors down from Baron towards the high street) is pretty dope. And the market generally. Brixton is suprisingly berift of clothes/record shops (other than urban/reggae). I've always found it staggering that there is no army surplus store in Brixton...
