is that the wood-block riddim that's wheeled for being "fucking ridiculous" around 31mins? when i was in music class at primary school, i never thought the woodblock would have such an impact on my adult life. lol

lol. it's pure CHEESE but i like bits of it okay. they tried to write hooks and choruses and as much as the bait hiphop 2006 thing was the death knell of pirate radio crew-based energy, it wasn't all bad. this, for example, is just obviously better than devlin's single on xl... <object...

this morning i noticed it was almost exactly a year ago, the nuum debate. can't help thinking muggs and i are a leeetle bit vindicated. the nuum has only become less useful and relevant in the last year. as for k punk, has he written a single word on new music in the last 12 months? on the music...

very confusing to have a *new* streetfighter riddim. still, it's nice with dee on it i got sent devlin + giggs' label debut collab this morning. it is SO shit. i'm probably one of about 500 people who bought 'tempo specialists', and most of the tunes on there were way better than it - equally...

i am HUNTING THOSE SETS DOWN. have been sort of itchily waiting for the full thing ever since you blogged their in-the-studio vids - thanks tim!

i was asked to write up a case study of a young person affected by form 696, so i spoke to tristan from 'project urban' (if anyone remembers that one). threw up a couple of surprising specific insights into the way the met operate: http://www.thesite.org/community/reallife/truestories/

this is so so so so large. gonna destroy the summer. badness really has a handle on this 'hook' business in a way that grime could've benefit from more of over the years... from what i can hear from the radio rip, shizzle's verse>>>>

is this about me? lol :slanted: it was my salt n pepa piece for the indy.. quoting the superb 'it's her factory' blog about single ladies being an afrofuturist critique of hetero courtship. proudest moment of my life, obviously.

i guess slightly reluctantly england - it's a long and emotional love/hate thing, with more hate than there probably shd be. czech republic (ancestral team) didn't make it, nor did turkey ('local' team), so honduras for laffs, spain because i can't help but love them, and any african team, sort...

everyone's heard slackk's eski house mix by now i hope? if not http://dot-alt.blogspot.com/2010/04/slackk-eski-house-mix.html funky's persistent danceability is absolutely it's greatest strength for me tim. and it hasn't lost that in its grimier moments (see above). do you not think the role...

i agree broadly, but he was playing sets like that two years ago at fwd though - he's always mixed in a-melodic macho crap with the good (mostly his) stuff. which would imply he's always quite liked that side of dubstep, rather than merely playing it to cater to a wobble-hungry audience. also...

yeah wrong side of south london. i never went to wandsworth or southfields when i was growing up cos there was literally nothing there..

i don't think he was completely on board from the beginning. it was mostly cheeky going his own way... wiley probably said 'yes' at some point but had zero involvement really. either way, 'the erratic' would be as accurate as 'the elusive'. i don't think i've ever been to southfields!! and i...

b/c he never got wiley's consent :rolleyes:

technically, i think he's been mcing at funky house nights - and has been since like 2006. that might be wrong, but i'm fairly sure it's not :)

"the media got involved" he says. LOL! if in doubt as to who to blame for something... :D

brilliant, thanks hive-mind :cool:

ooooohhhhhh. i watched that about 20 times yesterday, the hot chip vid. aren't they ukg heads from day? i went to see them a couple of times around the time of their first album, when they were sounding like prince (weird, but good)... then stopped paying attention.. is the new album good??

yeah i was a big fan of the sunday vibe too, i must say. btw on hyperdub and woebot and ikonika, for those who missed the twitter discussion: http://dan-hancox.blogspot.com/2010/03/publish-damn-and-be-damned-ikonika.html

the collie buddz was part of the new band of the day column! so consistently, consistently awful. someone needs to compile his 'best' bits, there've been so many. i don't see how he can even enjoy it! he's written almost 800 profiles of 'new' 'bands' now - wouldn't you want a day off eventually?
