he didn't. he didn't say some. he called them *all* dirty, *all* ugly, likened them *all* to animals and then proceeded to say that they, as a community, which makes little sense given that eastern europe is made up of many disparate communities and identities anyway, brought no art or culture...

this is the most palsied set of views i have ever seen in my life. it's ok spout virulent prejudice whenever you like provided you don't insist other people agree with you? sorry, but i don't think that many p@edophiles insist that everyone mess around with kids. that doesn't exactly make it...

i think you are letting the guy off way too lightly. that stuff is deeply prejudiced and can't be construed as anything but. plenty of people don't mean to be racist but that doesn't alter the fact that they are. however, i cannot see how you can take the time to write something like that and...

quote of previous inflammatory post deleted if this isn't grounds for banning someone i really don't know what is. please take this elsewhere.

i don't take any offence whatsoever to the dilla piece not being quite as great as sfj's audience with timbaland. that's a pretty high bar after all: one of my favourite pieces of hip-hop writing ever. however, sfj did have a bit of an advantage from the start, if only in so far as his subject...

I was being facetious.

aside the rabid class/race prejudice in full flow on the guardian blog comments, there is a simple musical question here. glastonbury audiences are rock-oriented, it's true. it never had to be like that, but it is now. still, that doesn't mean jay-z won't work the crowd. have these people never...

Bob Dylan

i really shouldn't have engaged with this thread at all. all i wanted to say, as previously stated, was that i think the magazine is doing a lot of good things at the moment and is at the most interesting it's been for a while in terms of variety. i do think it's pretty bad to go around...

no one is being condescending. again, calm down, please.

i wasn't actually talking about you, but the advice to calm down still stands, especially after that post. trust me, i never once asked for examples, but thanks for the lesson on the changing face of contemporary culture. not really needed, but hey... for the record, mark's burial piece was...

er, that wasn't a plea for attention, paul

re green chain walks, there are tons of them. miles and miles of them. several run thu our hood, too, paul/john.

er, so far no one has commented on anything i've written for the wire so this isn't me being touchy or unable to accept criticism, but can people please stop accusing writers of lazy journalism and lack of research, just because they don't agree with what a given critic has said. for a writer...

i've always wanted to do that network of green chain walks

er, don't put words in my mouth about my reviews editor thank you! also have no idea where the wire's blog is.

Who was it, just out of interest? Personally, I think the magazine is in a pretty strong place at the moment. Derek is doing great things with the reviews section. The features are varied and well written — this month there's Kan Mikami, Carl Craig and Dexplicit. Not many magazines where you'd...

I think this could end up being one of my favourite albums of 2008. Certainly is so far... Anyone else heard it? Thoughts? It's quite excellent. Bridges the techno/dubstep gap more effectively than anyone has yet. More rounded and skippy than most minimal these days and a hell of a lot more...

i won't ever eat mcdonalds, unless i'm hungover. for some reason, they really work, especially if you have a vanilla shake with whatever you order. another key bit of advice, if you're still drunk when you get up, have another drink as soon as possible. do not get trashed, just have one or two...
