Dunwich Dynamo looking at doing the Dunwich Dynamo which looks like a somewhat more anarchic alternative to the London to Brighton http://www.southwarkcyclists.org.uk/social/dunwichfaqs06.shtml http://www.rapha.cc/index.php?page=144

Article in today's Guardian "Bottom of the Class" Was interested to see an article in today's Guardian looking at 'the chav' phenomenon...by this I'm talking more its use as a derogatory label rather than as a descriptor. Mirrored many of my own viewpoints in that the term is used generally as...

The Squid and the Whale Went and saw The Squid and the Whale and really enjoying. entertaining and rather black humoured look at a family going through a relationship break up. Would recommend giving it a go

Think is likely to have more than lot to do with this http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/information/index.jsp There's a fair bit of effort at the Beeb to enter a more user pays model for non UK users of the Beeb's content given that this might potentially reduce the license fee burden or...

i figured the length of the document might be enough to put more than few people off given that we're increasingly used to bite sized morsels...but is probably the most interesting piece on Israel I've seen in a while

Fascinating article looking at how the 'Israel Lobby' in conjunction with Neo Cons in the US has pretty much set the agenda for the US Middle East policy and how it is ultimately doing more damage than harm to America (surprise surprise) http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html Would be...

heard the title track blaring over a big system on Saturday night and it slayed...although does came achingly close to good old trance. like what i've heard so far of the album

Anyone got a good knowledge of Moroccan pop...had a trip in a friend's car recently and he had some tapes that he'd acquired on at trip to Morocco was amazing mix of the exotic and good old pop. Unfortunately it was all on cassette with notes in Arabic so can't really chase it any further...

Delia & Gavin @ Plastic People Live set from their performance at Plastic People http://www.ourdisco.com/music/

Anyone able to give a recommendation on a recent mixtape for this stuff?

I picked up the Soul Jazz compilation "Tropicália - A Brazilian Revolution In Sound" without much knowledge of the era or its music, particularly for someone who has a skeptical attitude to many things given the 'latin' prefix. Am now excited in a guarded way about the Tropicalia festival on...

Have enjoyed his album but seeing him play live last night was a treat. Loved the live use of vocals and the low slung sound was great for a Sunday night (Bar Music Hall, Curtain Road, London) particularly with room to move. If you get the opportunity, he's worth checking out and they...

Interested in hearing what festivals and large scale musical events people are heading to. Am returning to Sonar (day time events then night time in Barcelona) after a period off but wondering if others have suggestions for places to soak up the audio and atmosphere

Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi i gather Luciano is doing the next in this series which could be really exciting

but just as Jah Shaka have built things from the ground up, some of the most interesting djs imho are those who are using digital mixing equipment to do redits on the fly. This provides the ability to recombine different elements in new forms in a way that would have been unimaginable with...

could be some of the stuff off Kelley Polar's new album on Environ. Not trancey in the 'big room' sense and a rather different take on disco to the Dutch

Cycling option another thing worth considering is whether your prepared to cycle in to work. Doing this opens up a whole lot of areas which are only serviced by bus (long journey time) and some of these areas are less over run or cheaper because they're not on the tube map. That said, not...
