    Giallo 'allo?

    Nice topic! One of my obsessions, this... There's a whole wealth of Italian exploitation cinema from the 60s, 70s and 80s, some really stylish interesting stuff, back when there was reasonable money in their film industry. Argento is a masterful director but sometimes seems to wilfully fuck...

    Whitehouse

    hahaha....write an album about it probably... What does anyone here think about Peter Sotos? Read bits of his stuff. It's a bit like being punched repeatedly in the face for hours until eventually you just can't feel anything. (it was my pal Karl from Yorkshire Bone who had a fight with Sotos...

    Whitehouse

    Seen that thing in The Wire btw, in the piece about "comedy in experimental music" or something, new issue? Interesting perspective, says the whole thing's been one big pisstake since the start. I don't agree, but I love the ambiguity. Plus, Philip Best reminds me of an old cockney taxi driver.

    Whitehouse

    I admire the fact that William Bennett has never had a full-time job as far as I know, and has supported himself, probably quite nicely, from the proceeds of Whitehouse since he was 18. Which makes you think, don't it? I place Whitehouse in a similar place to the Savoy Books stuff, especially...

    Whitehouse

    I really like them, think they're very thought-provoking and damn good theatre. find them interesting sonically too. Saw them in Newcastle last year and it was as camp as a row of tents.

    Theorization of the grime " discourse "

    It's a funny old thing. Think Logan's comment is really on the money, I must say. On the one hand, RWD forums are all "WHO WD WIN OUT OF A CLASH BTWN TRIM AND GHETTO? TRIM IS BIGGLE" etc, and on the other, the blogsphere sometimes gets a little pretensious doesn't it? It's all good I suppose...

    chav--explain to a confused expatriate please

    Kids are not allowed out on the streets or out in public generally if they have no money. It's highly suspicious that they would want to be outside, socialising in groups and getting up to mischief, when they could be indoors playing computer or watching SKY. That's how it's going down nowadays...

    shoplifting

    Some nice tactics there Backjob. Putting on a pair of 501s under your (baggy) jeans in the changing rooms was always a winner - good seller, used to get £15 for 'em...one time my mate ripped his hand open really badly pulling off the security tag and the shopgirl was suspicious of all the...

    shoplifting

    Christ, now you're talking. How long have you got? As a seventeen-to-eighteen year old jobless yoot, living in a shitty bedshit in a South Coast of England town, small-time "shottin'" and shop theft was my bread and butter. Seriously dark days, that made me the man I am today...ahem.. - on my...

    art into pop--abiding or ailing?

    The recently-split band Ikara Colt had an art background...every member exhibits work. (For the record, they were a good band, taking the Fall and The Stooges as starting points, with a touch of cold electronics and interesting lyrics. They've split up because THE KIDS DON'T FUCKING CARE, and...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    Sorry everyone, I will stop, but I just thought of this: Is it OK for dancehall artists to go on about "bunnin chi-chi men" etc, but not for VICE to use their cheeky, offensive lil' epithets? Don't see much cussing of dancehall artists round these parts... Also, the attitude to women and gays...

    VICE magazine's G. MacInnes in The American Conservative

    Nice to see Andy Capper's two-penn'orth here. If I had a choice between VICE or The Wire, it's VICE every time. Noticed the latest issue of RWD is rocking the VICE style humour slightly, too, although maybe I am imagining this. Ultimately, even if VICE stopped all the naughty bad words, gave...

    People talk alot of shite!

    I know, it's retarded. The mag I wrote it for is a free thing distributed in Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Hull and other places, with a predominantly "indie" readership. I've written a lot of stuff for "indie-type" mags in Leeds, trying to get the readers to maybe take a chance and listen to...

    People talk alot of shite!

    mms...not sure what to make of that. what do you think of my article? i'm not sure whether that was critical or not... ...i was saying there is a massive division in youth/music culture at the moment, some really lame stereotypes, especially where I live, and it's fuckin depressing. can't tell...

    Not music per se, but grime-related...

    Now this is interesting. Don't tell anyone, but I work for ITV and we have access to the duty logs, the comments made by the public about the channel's programming. I just found this referring to the Tonight With Trevor McDonald show about "Happy Slaps": "My name is (removed fro privacy) I am...
