    Shackleton remixing Simian Mobile Disco

    Shackleton is such a fantastic name for an experimental dubstep producer, isn't it? Shackleton the explorer, and not just any explorer, but of the frozen treacherous wastes of the antartic. And it's composed of "shackle" - confinement by metal restrictions - and "ton" - extremely large weight...

    Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

    As a small-town Irish music journo I had back-stage pass to a festival where Massive Attack were playing, and ended up drinking/smoking with them before their set - when they were going out on stage, skylark-throated Studio 1 reggae legend Horace Andy was crawling around under the table looking...

    MIA - kala

    yes, on a cursory first listen (thanks Zhao - piracy funds terrorism!) she's lacking that sassy "New York! quieten down, I need to make a sound!" attitude from the first album

    drug warning stories

    Not quite a friend of a friend, but I remember an interview with one of the Ramones who saw Sid Vicious at a party in London sticking his syringe into a toilet bowl full of puke and whatever else for some water to jack up with :eek: And a real friend was at a party where someone out of it...

    Minimal house anthems

    Is The Field considered minimal, and does anyone else love From Here We Go Sublime? He's a bit of a one-trick pony, but it's a great trick, like Superpitcher's MFA's The Difference It Makes remix or Stardust's Music Sounds Better, just endless blissed-out sample-texturology extended for as long...

    Hyperfrank's Badness homophobia post

    Are you really claiming that "kill battyboy" is anything like the use of gay-meaning-generally-bad-or-unpleasant (as if that's ok itself), as if he really means "I don't like things that are generally distateful to me, personally - kids, insert your own personal examples here - without prejudice...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Anyone see the piece on him in last Sunday's Sunday Times (OMG outed myself :o NO TORY (or New Labourite)!)? Wearing a sharp suit, described as a rapper (no mention of grime, or hip hop for that matter) and all about on how he's so focussed, determined, hard-working etc. etc. etc. And "cuddly".

    Shitting yourself/shitting in interesting or unusual places/shitting queries

    I used to have a dog, an adorably cute but deranged terrier cross-breed who would eat anything - e.g I once dropped a glass jar on the kitchen floor, and he snaffled up as much broken glass as he could before I could pick it up, and crunched & swallowed the lot, wagging his tail happily as he...

    Shitting yourself/shitting in interesting or unusual places/shitting queries

    nothing like a bit of oedipal trauma and getting compared to the anti-christ-child to cheer you up after a hard day at the office, eh? ;-) I'll say

    Shitting yourself/shitting in interesting or unusual places/shitting queries

    Freudo-Oedipal desires are all about the "latent" (pre-pubescent) phase FYI (not that I'm a card-carrying Freudian myself). Nomadologist - did you crab-walk up the stairs upside down beforehand? Now that would have been impressive!
