    What do I need to know to be a Proper Grown Up?

    not to derail the thread from luka, but how do you not dress like a teenager in your 30s? not going round wearing g star or rocawear or anything but i still wear t shirts and jeans. should i be wearing shirts and proper trousers all the time?

    Retromania

    about a 100 pages through this so far. the stuff about file sharing habits is pretty spot on. oddly despite the books premise it is making me quite nostalgic.

    News of the World phone hacking scandal

    this story is truly amazing. but i wonder how much normal ppl really care. surely if the notw kept going, in a month or two no one would care so much. its wrong to tap into soliders families phones and so on BUT i think most ppl accept that thats just how low down and dirty journalism goes.

    What do I need to know to be a Proper Grown Up?

    films you've seen recently and would NOT recommend

    shouldnt really be a surprise - i was in the mood for something big and dumb - but transformers 3 is pretty terrible. cant remember the last blockbuster this boring. shia lebouf also has to be one of the most useless 'big name' actors around. for most of the film he seems to just be running...

    Hip Hop '11

    shabazz palaces - from seattle but might as well/could easily be NY - has some really good bass on it. almost like old dubstep but not as OTT.

    if New York can die so can London

    completely forgot about new cross and around there. weird cos i used to work with a girl who lived there. but yeah, that is the next place. i think the little scene the klaxons came from was around there.

    Hip Hop '11

    you would think that NY-ers would think that the southern guys are basically doing a development of old electro and that they should try to show them they can do it better or something but i dont think NY looks on that period that favourably - they regard the late 80s/mid 90s much better and so...

    Bjork?

    i think she might have now become the type of artist - like bowie and prince in the late 90s or so - whose most interesting work/ideas are about how their music is presented and pushed than the music itself. i still need to see her live.

    Rinse FM Going Legit

    to be fair, it isnt really cool imo. i wouldnt wanna see some sub porno thing or something with lots of swearing on the tv pre-watershed, same for radio really. its not that hard to do radio edits, esp these days, its much simpler than it used to be.

    if New York can die so can London

    that seems more like clapham, finsbury park and around there. places that have just been gentrified in the standard way, but without any real kind of arts/creative community. you would never have gotten a cheese market in brixton before, but now you can find one (or so im told, i moved out of...

    Bjork?

    the new bjork single is interesting though it reminds me a bit of vespertine with snares that make me think of coki's intergalactic. and the ending is idk, a bit dated isnt it? i knew when i read reviews saying it was a bit like squarepusher that it would be though. not sure why that was added...

    if New York can die so can London

    yeah, everyone from east london eventually moves to outer essex, and then, they might even move further into deep essex. could it be activated again? i think weve been asking that question of most areas lol. i dont know the answer to this question. unless you mean essex would be empty.
