a suggestion that is almost unforgivable.

yes. i have the exact same problem. my obsession with this has lost all sense of irony now and i no longer have an excuse. its my stupid english flatmate that got me into it. its totally not my fault. (here i go making excuses). someone is probably working on a cure for it somewhere...

i am actually fairly serious about this. i would love to see how far the hype machine can actually go. as long as we can agree on a few realistic names and perhaps produce photoshopped images of mixtapes and cdrs. maybe a few random people in poses too, we could have our very own scene...

This Just In word is dizzee just bought a DJ Cuntfingers mixtape. that shit is so hot right now. TRIPWIRE, the sound of East East London.

martin, thats amazing. you should start hailing the arrival of TRIPWIRE across the internet see if it actually catches on. i believe at this point if you got it on a few blogs someone would write an article about it somewhere. people are liable to believe anything.

something will come along, and very soon i imagine. if grime gets any more popular people will start turning away. its been what 3-4 years now? that is a long time to be so focused on something. as long as i get there before VICE and FADER i don't really care what it is!!!

oh this is wonderful news. its good to get info about whats going on in the scene from someone who is livin it day to day.

fucking love it. will reply more when i am not quite as tipsy.

i ll want to come up from VA in july/august if the first few months go well. not that i need many excuses to find myself in nyc, but this sounds fun.

as someone who keeps a rather loose eye on the scene, i have to say (apart from guns and roses 1) their production crushes everyone elses. am looking forward to checking out those (recent) tracks ya'll just mentioned.

i recall the thread being about hip hop and not stockhausen and cage.

i really think the 'whisper song' has brought minimalism to a new peak. you really cannot get more minimal than whispering for an entire track over the slightest yet most catchy of beats in recent memory.

"'We're targeting sophisticated, pop-hungry pop people,' says Eddie Ruffett of Universal Music." quite possibly the biggest overstatement in the article. at first this worried me but actually i think this is good news. by the time these kids hit their 'rebellious' teen years, they will...

fair enough then.

this is really not the best way to justify liking an album.

Is this the album that came out yesterday? it is extremely disappointing that 'commercialising' their sound is the route that was decided for this. it is impossible to justify and worse, it is hardly surprising.

i guess they were doing some sort of U.K. tour cause they were in glasgow on sunday as part of the triptych festival that happens annually this time of year. they played at the optimo club night. i think their name is just rather household when it comes to artschool types and dance people...

yeah jess and perhaps nick are carrying the website almost single-handedly. big ups harvell.

It seems as of late Hip Hop and Rap has decided to take a turn for the minimal. Snoop's 'drop it like its hot' had a very stripped sound to it, and it worked wonderfully. and the Ying Yang Twins 'wait (whisper song)' really takes it to a new level. this song just completely slays me when i...

i don't rate them. i think one of the reasons people want to like them is cause one of the gang of four guys produced the album or something.
