I have one of those Polish sound postcards.

another personal favourite: "the person who owns this bar - not the person you think owns it but the person who actually owns it - has asked me to come down here and spread a bit of money around, so i'd like to ask you a favour, which is not to play any reggae ... i'll have a look through your...

er, yes. one time at a squat party my mate was playing a roots set, not juggling or anything, just playing tunes ... the crowd took exception to this and a whole heap of enraged ravers gathered round the decks and started shouting "MIX! MIX!" as loudly as possible, they looked like they might...

Well it was a baptism of fire in a way, but very useful. Some time after I was playing at a house party and this girl came up and was giving it the usual have you got something we can dance to, I don't like this stuff etc etc, she was quite persistent, I was standing behind the decks with the...

Many years ago I played reggae at a mate's party in a Venue That Shall Remain Nameless in Oxford. The management liked my set and booked me for NYE, I was chuffed obv, my first paid booking etc ... I had only been DJing for 6 months or something, little did I know. So anyway NYE came around and...

Some years ago I went into Smallfish (now defunct record shop in east London) and there was this really indescribable bizarre stuff playing. So I asked what it was and the guy said it was hits of the 80s reinterpreted by classically trained Chinese musicians who had the tunes notated in...

Funnily enough was in Copenhagen.

Saw Khaled a few weeks ago, I had mixed expectations to be honest cos wasn't really feeling some of his recent tunes but he smashed it, undoubtedly the best gig I've been to for a long while ..... When he did Didi the place exploded.

yeah, nasty business.

listen to the interplay of voice and violin on this, Mami's "Ana mazel...". crazy. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=""...

That is sound advice imo. NB doing a phd can be fun tho ... the real problems start afterwards ... if you want to continue with that sort of stuff.

Todorov wrote a good book about the signifier/signified distinction in ancient/early christian thought. Cf. esp the discussion of the Stoics who had a subtle theory of hermeneutics: e.g. Sextus Empiricus, Against the Logicians: ‘[The Stoics say] that “three things are linked together, the thing...

Cheers droid. Another strong contender would be madd anju's "wha dis fadda" on ants heap riddim ... can't find a recording on the net but was a young blood 7", also on greensleeves sampler 20. anyway you can get some idea of the introspectiveness of it from the lyrics: Father forgive mi, mi...

that's interesting, i've not heard any other stuff on that riddim. i'm not normally a big fan of elephant man but the bombing is a good tune.

Should have said earlier I do also have the soul jazz new orleans funk comp, which is nice. but it's the wild magnolias stuff that really grabbed me out of all of it. Will check out those discog refs, at first glance I know a few things on there but not much. Cheers.

yeah...although i only have a couple of tunes by them, so there's room for more.

I want more stuff like this: Wild Magnolias - Smoke My Peace Pipe (1974) Help me! I have the LP with this tune on, which is heavy, and another LP with some other Wild Magnolias stuff (inc. the great "New Suit" - clip here). So who else was doing this kind of stuff?
