Just a quickie -- just HOW fucking good is Rufus Wainright's "Want" double album? The wife went to see him on a random guestlist and was blown away and got this and it's FABULOUS. Absolutely mentally perfect chord progressions.

I've done a little mix of sweet soulful 94-era jungle, just cos I wanted to listen to it. It's pretty much all funky, vocal-led, softcore jungle, not many amens at all. Mainly 94 tunes, and I think most of them are pretty well known, but I like 'em. 47 minutes. Tracklisting: Lloydie...

I've been fiddling with Technorati over the last few days and finding it a bit disappointing. (I've been looking for pagan blogs and not getting much joy.) As I mentioned on my blog, it looks like Dissensians may not be getting the traffic / attention they deserve because they don't seem to be...

In tribute to the Bad Brains thread... ... what's your favourite Black Flag tune? I think mine's Slip It In or Drinking and Driving -- the hits I guess... I really hate the idea of lengthy thrash overtures but these really work...

My blog has exceeded its bandwidth. Normally this is because of people playing mixes from the browser but I don't think that's happening right now because they're all zipped, and anyway, there don't seem to be masses of downloads. However, I looked at the logs and AFAICT old blog posts are...

Fuck me -- why didn't someone tell me about this before? Absolutely fantastic rock hard grime with loadsa hooks and funky-as-fuck beats... Lovin it lovin it lovin it... As good as the Cabs' 2x45 and that's saying something...

apparently from a letter in time out: "...A few years back, Mr. Mandela (as in Nelson) arrived at the restaurant where I worked in Westminster. It was my job to serve him his carrots. While doing so, I felt compelled to ask him a personal question -a once in a lifetime opportunity, right? I...

Dunno about you but we've been infested with the buggers last few weeks. Loads of little wasp corpses all over the attic floor.

New tune with a battle between Asher D and Dizzee Rascal. I like the clean dub but others prefer the dirty mix. Enjoy...

I didn't see many essays but there's a lot of short contributions to long threads, a lot of light-hearted posts, a lot of the desi version of "grime spam" (both as in self-promotional material and as in "fan boy" posts). Dunno how well that style of posting would go down here. I liked the cars...

I just remembered that tomorrow night (Thursday October 13th) Rebel MC is headlining at Freshen Up at Corporation in Sheffield. Features KENNY KEN, TOP CAT, TENOR FLY, DADDY FREDDY, REBEL MC, DB.O GENERAL +more. Obviously this sounds amazing and as a Congo Natty obsessive I hope to be there...

With all the discussion of RTR2 and the need for a compilation of Grime big tunes I think it's worth starting a thread that brings all the suggestions into one place so we can settle on some kind ideal track listing. Rules are as follows: tunes have to be Grime not Dubstep. Incredibly Dubstep...

I need some new kitchen chairs cos the Ikea fold-ups just aren't comfy enough for my tired old bones any more. Does anyone have any suggestions? I torn between these stackable chairs ... ... and these Robin Day 1967 beauties The stackables are so cheap, and so weather-worthy, they'd make...

I want to buy a bicycle and I'm not sure what brands to look for. I'm interested in a hybrid road / mountain bike, fairly light, ideally under £200. I've looked at a Ridgeback which was very nice and light but 400 quid was a bit steep. Anyone have any suggestions? And is there a good place to...

We're finally breaking cover on this after keeping it quiet for a loooooong time.... Myself and John Eden have been asked to provide a mix for the renowned On The Wire radio show on BBC Radio Lancashire. I'm announcing this now because our mix is due to be broadcast this coming Saturday, 17th...

Haven't seen this mentioned round here -- Indie's Saturday magazine ran a piece on an exhibition called Open Mic: A Life of Grime. Text had the usual howlers but the pix looked quite nice.

I'm quite glad we won, really.
