yeah, unfortunately so. it's pretty low on the list of things i want to be doing, but needs must at the moment.

Hi all, just thought I'd let you know that I'm leaving the country and heading off to take a newspaper job in a strange oil-rich Emirate for a while. This is not something that I ever imagined that I'd actually do do until about six weeks ago, but I get on the plane early on Friday morning and...

It's also worth remembering that very few people can do the whole avoiding presets thing well. Herbert is a prime example of someone who can, Matmos, Jamie Lidell etc. However, what they do is essentially pretty simple, just smartly approached. It's also boring to keep banging on about once...

I'd really like the arabic pop links. I need to email Ed, as I'm moving to the Middle East in a few weeks...

It's kind of like the Wipeout, which I absolutely loathed at first, but grew to really love in the end.

please, zhao, don't do this. i have a strong feeling that this has the potential to be one of the worst combinations of music of all time.

the fact that no one has mentioned sleng teng within three pages of posts means that you are all mental and that i am far too good for this place

i saw the pogues live on their penultimate gig before shane left/was kicked out. he was a total shambles and not in a good way, just utterly, utterly fucked up, stumbling just to the side of the stage to vomit, not doing anything that could be described as singing at all, not just forgetting...

if barenaked ladies played their version of lovers in a dangerous time, i'd have happily shelled out for it. nowt wrong with that song at alll, though i doubt i'll ever listen to it again by choice

were great the last time i saw them.

Chris, you'll be talking about www.nor-tec.org. A lot of their stuff is really east to get hold of and pretty good. Here's their Myspace www.myspace.com/nortec

which prancehall column is being discussed here? one on donk?

other people moaning about stuff

I'm not quite sure why but this has just had m in tears of laughter

The Antepliler Pide place on Green Lanes is by far the best for this kind of thing. Lahmachun are good from most places, they're difficult to mess up, and are among the most awesome foods ever created. They taste great, are dirt cheap, and they're so thin that two will do for dinner but you can...

walkerswood jerk spice is ok but you're much better off making your own. it's piss easy and much fresher. the walkerswood or grace pastes need more lime and more dry spice.

well that doesn't surprise me in the slightest. manchester is a city full of animals.

you can buy jerk sauce in most london supermarkets, not throughout the UK, though. the jerk pizza sounds like an act of blasphemy against both jerk chicken and pizza (probably does taste great but it just seems a bit pointless to me). i'm sure i've mentioned this before, but there's a place in...

it seems like several babies are being thrown out with the theoretical bathwater here. the idea of the continuum works, because it starts at a viable point and ended up at an equally viable point (uk garage initially, but now moving thru dubstep, grime and funky). of course musicians from other...

It doesn't start with rave. It starts with the arrival of the Windrush and the subsequent colonising of British pop culture by reggae. Every single last bit of British music that's worth anything at all has its roots in reggae. Anything that doesn't sucks.
