no (pop) music is innocent, except from the perspective of the consumer.

unfortunately my friend and fellow ilxor liz d is still missing. it's not looking good but all i can do is to continue hoping until we know for certain one way or the other... :(

"She Comes In Colors" by Love to thread. "Heart Of Glass" was produced virtually at bayonet point by Mike Chapman. Blondie were no more a "rock" group than the Sweet (and in my happy little autistic glam/skronk world that is A Good Thing).

has anyone heard from woebot?

big series of serial tube station explosions plus at least one bus explosion. at present officially being blamed on LU power surge but nothing's very clear at the moment. naturally timing with the olympic decision invites speculation of terrorists, but nothing is known for sure right now so...

i'd say "black heavy metal" rather than "black indie" given the overstated machoisms (as with macho metallers, you can't help feeling they're HIDING something) and also the similarity in contemporary hip hop album cover design to those of metal albums - very much a fenced-off hive(mind). you go...

sorry dave, when i said "you" i wasn't actually talking to you, i was referring to the people who'd slagged off TO. i should have made that clear. but really... rather than a serious point, this just sounds like sour grapes and envy. time out is a london-based magazine whose listings (note...

the fact is, you were slagging off journalists who write for time out. i'm a journalist who writes for time out, therefore you're slagging me off. i don't like people making criticisms of places and situations they know nothing about. am i supposed to nod ruefully and agree with these barbs...

if people don't want an argument then don't fucking try it by insulting me or people i work for. fair enough?

yeah, right. you're probably about 58 years old, 4 ft tall and 6 stone. but i'll come up and open your face anyway. you've been asking for it long enough.

goodbye troll. my man will show you to the door.

you're a real hard man, patronising me on the internet. i'll be up in cambridge in a couple of weeks' time. fancy saying that to my face? and see what you get in return?

you ought to read them. one of my blogs is coming out as a book later this year. still gets xxxxx hits a day two years after i stopped writing it. the other two blogs have some good stuff as well. about xxxxx people a day manage to wade through them. three of the most popular music blogs on...

stop talking like a robot and people might take you seriously

perhaps your inadequate spelling and grammatical ability was the reason they turned you down for a job. and fuck it stelfox, i'm not going to sit here as a professional and be slagged off by a bunch of jealous losers. you want to improve things, go write to john lewis, ask him to give you some...

bullshit. i'm a time out journalist. actually we don't loathe hip hop at all, just mediocre hip hop, of which there seems to be a surfeit these days. end of year picks? yes, taking OTHER TYPES OF MUSIC into consideration, how stupid and inconsiderate of us! next time find out the truth...

"hip hop in 2005 is generally boring and corporate" is how i would interpret it.

link to where he says this please

actually inaccurate. mongrelisation of elements of gospel plus huge rhythmic/melodic influence from scottish country dancing music (caledonian -> appalachian diaspora c. 1750). no such thing as african-americans, except in science fiction books.
