IMO Jahcoozi are actually pretty awful - some of the production is all right but some of it is just like a generic ringtone version of Timbaland with a bit more bass, and Sasha Perera, their MC, has good delivery but embarrassingly bad lyrics.

Can I just make sure no one ever buys a copy of Notion, it's independent so it has the potential to be good but it's offensively bad.

Yeah I am only into dancehall if it has big basslines, a few more good ones: Jahcoozi - Black Barbie (original or Modeselektor remix) Modeselektor - Silikon M.I.A. - Galang (South Rakkas remix) DJ Riddim & Source - Elephantitus of the Man Lotek Hi-Fi - Move Your Thing (Small Arms Fiya mix)

Yes, I've definitely always thought Marxism is the answer to mediocre indie bands.

I quite like my totems personally.

Fact, which a few people on this board (including me) write for.

Well I like: Arcade Fire Bloc Party The Duke Spirit Interpol

Well basically I thought it was probably the Algerian man's son sending the videos in collusion with the protagonist's son. What I still don't understand is: How did he hide the camera on that street opposite the protagonist's house? How did he leave the video in the doorway without the...

The album is brilliant, consistently as good as that single.

I'd really like to hear what people thought about this film, e.g. what was really going on, especially in the final scene.

People like Vitalic, Justice etc. are doing the same thing they used to do.

I'm writing an article for Fact magazine (where Woebot has a column) about CDR folk. I'd be really grateful to anyone who has any suggestions for bands, labels, websites, shops, magazines etc., both UK and US, that I should look into. Cheers.

I don't even like them very much, but for the record: 1. They don't sound all that much like Franz Ferdinand. This is such a Dissensus double standard: if two techno records come out on Ghostly International, or whatever, which are indistinguishable to someone who doesn't closely follow recent...

I read Vice and I think it's one of the best magazines out there. I don't buy into its nihilism but one clearly isn't intended to and I don't think many people do (although of course people will carry on accusing 'hipsters' or 'students' or whatever of whatever they want). I like it because...

Just to throw in my opinion: I really think Bloc Party are one of the best bands of the last five years. I agree that Franz Ferdinand, Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs etc. don't deserve all the attention, but Bloc Party definitely do. I am a student, so perhaps my opinion doesn't count for anything...

Hmm, got to admit, when you put it like that I can finally understand people's objections to MIA.

Well but not many people I know listen to classical music but I doubt any of them would be willing to say it was bad.

'Those who champion her new efforts haven't been turned off to grime/dancehall/etc. - they have not been exposed to it.' This is so patronising! It's just like the constant claim that you can't like e.g. Bloc Party if you've heard Gang of Four. In both cases, I've heard both, and I like both. I...

The last album was extraordinarily good if you ask me. And it's not true that her voice sounds the same on every record, compare Vespertine (which is all intimate whispers) to Debut (which is all happy wailing).
