don't change it - it's the name of a really great gospel song about the Siege of Stalingrad!

no he is not. Because racism involves not only prejudice but also power. that's what Stelfox said about three different ways. Racist statements are statements that have the backdrop of social power. It's not tiptoeing, it's avoiding inaccuracy and avoiding contributing to blinkered ideas about...

yeah, isn't it? I love that flick. best final scene ever.

As opposed to the really serious Deejay names like Mr. Pants, Busy Signal, Pinchers, Snagga Puss, Nikey Fungus, Professor Nuts, Smiley Culture, Mr. Chicken, Eek-a-Mouse, Fathead and Goofy?

I can't sit down while I'm on the phone. I get hyper and I have to walk it off. I know it's probably annoying, but I swear I don't do it to be looked at. I don't use those damn handsfree things while I tromp around talking to my mom though. I still can't get used to people shouting at the air...

I get you, I think. Blackdown said something similar when he was visiting. As we drove through all the crazy sunsets and huge natural vistas that SF has to offer, dubstep seemed rather alien and out of place in the sunshine and mist.. so it's not gonna be the same. But I don't think that means...

Hey looks good! DL-ing now.. but SF isn't so distant a vantage on dubstep... there's Matty G, Juju, Djunya, ESKMO, The Antiserum, Dubsworth, Roommate, DJG as producers, for starters! and for promoters: Narco Hz, Grime City, Surefire, Bassism, Brap Dem, Surya Dub, The Makeout Sessions all do...

Just finished _The Ghost Map_ which was a really entertaining book about the London cholera epidemic of 1853. But it's really about the development of cities and the drastic increase in the likelihood that people will end up eating their own shit as a result of urbanization --plus the slow...

couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

I read it and thought it was good fun. Don't fear! esp. if you like Philip K Dick. I'm quite fond of Motherless Brooklyn as well, although it's pretty different. I love the pulp influence though. And of course, I also love his essay in Harper's: The Ecstasy of Influence

Filastine puts on a hell of a show. Way more uptempo (the times I've seen him) than his rather interesting recorded stuff. seems like he'd be up your alley musically (from the description of your styles on the fusion page) and Jahtari's up there as well, damn... that'll be fantastic. and...

what about when it's Sasha F-J? http://www.mashit.com/audio/Since_Youve_Been_In_This_Club.mp3

I have never heard this in a jamaican tune in all my days of listening. But I'd like to! maybe I missed it? saw a lot of anti "bow" graffitti last summer when I was in JA. My friend took a picture of a classic example

You were the one who said you "didn't get my point" about being wary of the media, about which you now say "rightly of course" we should be wary or critical. It's a bit rich to BE the straw man, and then say that the other side is as straw man. and as for the rest of it, well as is often the...

Well you see, Mr. Tea. England (just as an example), is a pretty big country. there are a lot of people living in it. millions, even. In any population of millions it is statistically likely that there are going to be a large number of crimes. more, for example, than any one newspaper could...

no you're missing the point. it is not all about personal capacity and personal responsibility and choice and attitude. In fact, I don't see how it can even be mainly or majority about those things. Those are all things that allow you to discuss "success" and "achievement" as if they can be...

sorry I just got depressed seeing the headline about working class people every time I logged in. I would like to know, though, exactly how people in the other thread are accounting for accidents of birth which provide some people with a lot of social advantages, which social advantages would...

It is equally frustrating to talk to people who seem to think that, out of the millions of events that occur each day, what appears in news articles is somehow naturally more important or relevant than what did not make it into print.

Thanks you cats! i should put up the image that the design genius inkore made for the "album cover" nice huh?

Actually I don't think this is as self-evident as all that. Unless I missed it - I haven't seen any discussion here of the argument that redistribution may be a better way forward than "growth," or at least as important. Of course it matters what you mean by growth - but if it includes bringing...
