I saw her live at Olympic Island in Toronto and it was probably one of the best live musical performances I've ever seen. Pyrotechnics, multiple elaborate costume changes, a string quartet, Matmos live sampling, Zeena Parkins on harp, and as if that wasn't enough, she'd arranged fireworks half a...

tbh I don't really know what's wrong with the word 'fuck' on daytime radio. I'm not really sure who or what is being protected. Nevertheless, I guess if there is a standard with legit radio stations and Rinse FM wants to be legit, then they have to bow to that standard. It's things like this...

Huh? Makes sense. Most of The Weeknd's success is attributable to Drake, who apparently gave him a lot of hook-ups - both being from Toronto.

Oh shit. Fortunately it's great enough to bear the honour of multiple postings. His montage of Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes is brilliant too.

Actually up until recently no one really knew who it was, because it was all being kept a Burial-esque secret. They've since got the name of the singer now (Abel Tesfaye). As for production work, all I've been able to work out so far is that Don McKinney (Esthero's former producer) did half the...

House of Balloons is my favourite release of all year so far. He's a Toronto boy too, and if he doesn't win the Polaris Award this year I'm going to kick the Canadian music industry right in the teeth.

It may be that London's recent weakening has to do with its becoming too self-aware of its own grand narrative, as evidenced by this thread. Certainly dubstep's forced and hysterical modernism in reaction to "brostep" stealing all its thunder is largely to blame for how diffuse, aimless and...

I actually have a huge folder on my computer of old 96kbps grime instrumentals that probably should also be uploaded to youtube. Maybe I'll do it someday if I can be arsed.

I saw some other youtube dick the other day trying to call himself Rapid. I am always the first to defend grime, and may well be the last, but this hasn't been a very good year.

Twitter has destroyed the grime clash. Nothing quite like clashes starting on a weekly basis because someone indirected about another MC's comparative lack of followers instead of @'ing to their face like they should've.

That's the Sami Sanchez remix. Kode 9 played it in his most recent Essential Mix.

Elijah: what was the name of that Trim song you played very last on your show this week? It was very good. EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out

Luka do you remember where you read this

This is basically grime, but wot u call it and all that, so it's going in this thread:

What's the name of that one? I'm struggling to remember.

This is one of the things I love most about it. It's about what it means to dream, particularly about what it means to live in a kind of society where you are encouraged to believe your dreams are attainable. It is also about what you give up and what you gain by having this basically...

haha I saw his post and went to wax lyrical about it, then saw this. Makes sense. It's probably my favourite book.
