    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Being in debt isn' 'free education' And neither is paying thousands of dollars a year to go to a half decent state school as you have to over here - again uniforms, books, 'voluntary contributions' etc.

    Request for a separate mixes forum

    I'm against it myself. We need fewer forums, not more. This doesn't get much traffic really and an extra forum wouldn't make more traffic.

    what did you listen to today?-2005

    Yesterday I listened to EPMD 'Business as Usual' and that Heatwave mix. Mostly I've been ripping my old hardcore/punk records to MP3 and re-experiencing them which has been fun.

    pitchforkmedia's oral history on the origins of chicago house and detroit techno

    I was actually thinking about some of the same stuff Henry after reading the article last night. Some of the sense of discovery and wonder is hard to conjure when you're downloading tracks of soulseek and playing them by yourself on your PC. I think it's possible, but just different. We're...

    music related tattoos

    I've got some lyrics from the hrdcore band Indecision around my ankle and a straigt edge tattoo that isn't about music per se, but close enough. I'll take picture of my straight edge one and put it up later. A guy at work has a black flag tattoo on the back of his neck. It's main redeeming...

    Goldie Looking Chain v the whole of UKHH (minus R. Manuva)

    I actually think this is fair enough, but I don't listen to UK hip hop (or in fact most hip hop) for the beats per se. I listen to hip hop for the MCs and I think that Klash and skinnyman are really good MCs, and not US purist at all.

    I'm a bit ernest and easily baited. :o

    political blog recommendations?

    And beyond that, how can writing on Marx and justie be inherently a contradiction in terms? Perhaps he was writing about what Marx thought about justice? Or even the implementation of a justice system under so-called Marxist states?

    political blog recommendations?

    I'm assuming that you mean what I would call Marxist-Leninism with your phrase Marxist-Communism. I think it's worth noting that Lenin's influence on "Marxism" was enormous, as was the specific experience of the Russian Revolutions. And regardless, I can think of plenty of nations where...

    tim burton

    I find Burton generally a disappointment as he veres constantly into style over substance. His films so often feel so empty to me. I like his stuff but I always want more depth to them. He's a bit like Terry Gilliam in terms of unrealised potential, except Gilliam can blame problem with...

    Goldie Looking Chain v the whole of UKHH (minus R. Manuva)

    If I thought that UKHH actually sounded like a specific time in USHH, maybe you'd have a point. But UKHH has always seemed to me to have a fairly distinct sound and there is plenty of interesting production going on, even if you do take out the scene's shining light in Roots Manuva. The...

    Why doesn't anyone consider the positives of right-wing politics?

    I should have said "to this point". One things clear however: Buick6 has lost the plot. ;)

    Do any internationally known musicians come here?

    It's a start anyway. Where from NZ are you from? I'm a welly boy myself.

    Why doesn't anyone consider the positives of right-wing politics?

    droid, on Hitler, you're not wrong btu you're also not right. But it's not really the point of the thread so if you want to dscuss it further, start another and I'll come and contribute. Omaar wins the thread by the way.
