    Dubstep

    It's very Burial, but a bit more upfront garage sounding. Not too shabby, the chords are nice.

    Bloggification

    Most of Switch's productions just remind me of dodgy student club nights. In particular, the way that guitar-sounding sample pitches up and goes all wonky during the above Spank Rock remix really captures something that I hate about a lot of blog house/fidget/wonk shite, but I can't quite put my...

    [GLA] Upcoming Nights and Other Events, Rolling Thread

    That sounds quality Elijah. Still yet to see Oneman & Ben UFO despite heavy fandom for the last couple of years, will definitely be down. Brackles has a gig at that One More Tune night next month too, that'll be weird. The crowd at that night is SHIT.

    Juke

    The most appropriate thread I could think of: Bitch Ass Darius - Follow The Sound mixtape The above mix is a good few years old now but features a whole load of old ghetto house, ghetto tech and Detroit techno stuff. Also contains Higher State Of Consciousness lol.

    Bloggification

    Anyone on Fools Gold records? And all those twats like Fake Blood, Jack Beats etc too, in fact most former turntablists are guilty of this shit. Zhao, just out of curiousity, why do you spend time on Low Bee if this type of thing annoys you? I just had a gander there and found the most...

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    The name Bob Diamond just makes me think he's going to look exactly like Billy Mitchell from The King Of Kong

    Hangover Cures

    Late on this, but well worded. The key is not to get in to this state so often that it becomes your brain's default method of operation. Back on topic, I find that the hangover cure depends on how I'm feeling that day. Sometimes I crave a McDonalds knowing that it'll go down real easily and...

    [GLA] Upcoming Nights and Other Events, Rolling Thread

    Actress & Redinho at Numbers/Sub Club tonight, hyped, especially looking forward to seeing Redinho's talkbox-tastic live show again. Cheap £6 entry if you sign up to the mailing list on nmbrs.net too. Also, as mentioned in the hip-hop '10 thread, Big Boi is playing at the Academy on November 3rd.

    hip hop '10

    Big Boi is playing a gig at Glasgow's o2 Academy on November 3rd. I suspect he'll be doing gigs elsewhere so check your local venues' websites to see if there's anything near you. I for one can't wait, hopefully it'll be better than the recent Wu Tang gig.

    Dubstep

    Benji B is taking over Mary Anne Hobbs' slot on Radio 1 once she finishes. Pretty happy to hear that, as far as I'm concerned his slot on 1Xtra is the best radio show in the country (not counting web stations, Rinse etc.) and he's the only other BBC DJ I could see taking the job. Although MAH...

    Big Beat!

    I used to be quite in to Fatboy Slim etc when I was in P6/P7, but was obviously too young to really get in to it much further than that. Me and my brother did spend a lot of summer 98 streaming the Fatboy Slim Vs. Armand Van Helden mixes off of the Skint site though, I was well gutted when they...

    Juke

    I was going to mention this (or start a ghetto house/ghettotech thread) as I much prefer the more straight 4/4 ghetto house/juke stuff to the more abstract workouts of footwork stuff, DJ Nate, the stuff on the Rashas & Spinn XLR8R podcast... Of all the recent juke stuff I've heard, the stuff...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    Spilling chilli sauce from my lunchtime lahmaçun all down my shirt at this early stage of the day.

    Funky/London/UK House

    I'll always remember the youtube comment "is her name egypt cos she has a pyramid on her boat race" @rubberdingyrapids - Benji B's been playing the fuck out of that DVA/Fatima track the last month or so, and I definitely hear what you're saying regarding the way he's changed the track. Gives it...

    Dubstep

    Benji B's show from Sunday with Loefah and the Swamp81 showcase is quality. Some amount of outstanding music coming from Instra:mental & Bodika, I'm really in favour of a Detroit resurgence in dance music at the moment, hopefully it can have the same effect as Chicago's sound has over the last...

    best obscure Wikipedia pages?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_II_of_Spain Absolutely mental. The level of inbreeding in that family is off the scale; the whole family had "hereditary weaknesses (not surprising given one of his great grandmothers was knwon as 'Joanna the Mad") and he was especially fucked and known for...

    New Google Images

    It's definitely weird. I like that kind of load-as-you-scroll mechanic on tumblr sites etc, but it's not so good when you're looking for an image, it just seems less precise even though it's probably still quicker to find what you're after. It's now just like a shit version of Cooliris. Google...

    Starcraft 2 is out, can't decide whether or not to buy it yet. Has anyone on here played it?

    Do Brits make the best breakfasts in the world?

    Get some black pudding and baked beans in that fried sandwich! Today I've gone for the Greggs steak bake in a buttered roll. Quite budget (apart from the roll costing 30p or something ridiculous like that) but the way the hot gravy melts the butter and gels the pastry & bread together is a rare...
