Many thanx to Padraig for plugging my obscure blog! Re: my sometime appearances, I sporadically come on here for a while, add my thoughts to all the threads, get limited good reactions, ask questions, get no replies & then retreat again minorly disheartened! Anyway, I popped on to look for...

"I ride in style, you ride in Greyhound" :-D Got potential, hasn't it! You'd like to think other people might jump on it now - that's the first fully rapped Jersey one I've really liked, cheers for that! Yeah, I'm still lurking, looking for bits of interest :-)

I've been listening back to a bunch of my old grime/dubstep/bassline/funky CDs recently & wanted to flag up a couple I've radically changed my opinion on, Slimzee's one on Bingo Beats & the N-Type Dubstep Allstars one. Both I was quite disappointed with after buying full price on release. The...

After getting a bit into the headlines thread, couldn't resist posting a link to some Murrayisms, ona similar tip. Can't finda definitive list, but you'll get the idea here: http://www.rinkworks.com/said/murraywalker.shtml My personal favourite: "Martin Schanche's car is absolutely unique...

Another favourite, from one of those old Guardian/Observer sections with the misprints etc was something like "The Stroke Association is looking for volunteers to help stroke people" :-D

Yeah, I saw that upthread & was bemused until I read the explanation, not being a massive footy fan.

I can't find this one online, but I'm pretty sure I've remembered it right: "Two shags perved my melons". Tells you the whole story quite evocatively in five words but completely impenetrable to anyone who doesn't know english very well or even someone who hadn't been checking the news out for...

Cheers for them - a few classics plus some new to me that I liked. Juvenile's "Ha" I couldn't get on with for years (although I always loved "Back That Azz Up"), but having read a little on it recently & read the lyrics in conjunction with the excellent video, I think I'm a convert! Strange...

Can we round all this soca-influenced garage/grime/funky stuff up here? (I don't really mean ALL of it btw, I mean the ones with a really heavy obvious influence). I'm thinking of doing some soca sets & would like to extend it out into some garagey stuff that fits. So K2 Fam-fam-family & Agent...

Tempted to make a whole new thread for this...will see what response I get here first... I'm quite into Discogs, despite all the annoying aspects of it. Librarian, catalogue...we bond! I buy & sell on it but also do like to give back by working hard on the catalogue for posterity... I've got...

I had to google 'night bus'...some of that stuff is OK I think, but yeah, that whole witch house sorta area has potential re: bringing Noise & stuff with beats together but is smeared with fashion victims & wrong-headed art projects :-) "Sax house" - I've got a few tunes I would term 'jazz...

My 2010-12 Nuumisms...Bit behind on new stuff this year... 1) Joe - Claptrap 2) SX - Wooo Riddim/D Double E - Bad To The Bone 3) Addison Groove - Footcrab 4) D Double E - Streetfighter Riddim 5) Wiley "Step 1" 6) Ennio Maccaroni "Never Ever Worry" (mento/calypso DnB remixes - pure...

Missed this at the time, as a part-time lurker. Great read & very entertaining mix, Benjy (as agreed elsewhere btw, I've started playing back some of yr excellent mixes on my radio show & will definitely use this one!). I'm ashamed to say that as someone who ducks in & out of different styles of...

Here's a hamfisted Bushwick rap that succeeds anyway I think through general Geto Boys miserabilism!

Love all that stuff in the Sporty T post - cheers! N'Orleans might be my new thing!

Yeah, I'd agree on most of that although I like a fair bit of contemporary classical stuff, probably for different reasons than you are meant to (ie I think it sounds fantastically, psychedically odd partly just because I don't know enough about how music is written to 'understand' it!). All of...

Ahem...I might have done! Listened to some of yr gamelanstep the other day on here & its lovely of course, I just came up with that back in the days of dubstep early prime, when waving around a sample/pad of some randomly picked ethnic instrument & shoving it haphazardly on top of whatever you...

Not as good as the earlier ones, but New Orleans brass again...

OK, so I went through some old mags & apart from being reminded about MC ADE, C-Murder "Down 4 My N's" & TI "What You Know", I didn't find bugger all else I liked much...So (the admittedly fantastic) Ricky B is the boards' sole contribution to my attempted bromance with the dirty south so far...
