    guardian article on the death of british black music

    and to go off on something of a tangent, mike pickering began as a northern soul dj, was deeply immersed in black music and culture for at least a decade before the acid explosion hit . . . . and when he's talking about the black kids not having enough room to dance once the hacienda became...

    guardian article on the death of british black music

    yo! mike pickering is the man behind both t-coy's "carino" and quando quango's "love tempo" (though admittedly the mark kamins remix is the one to play) -- two of the top all-time tracks in my book -- i don't think the man has anything to apologize for, have heard a lot of very favorable...

    "Big Beat"

    a return to 91/92 breakbeat for those who didn't like jungle or 2-step anticipates breakcore -- another "rockabilly" movement in some respects the other aspect is psychedelic "mash up" culture, such that chemical bros' beatles-over-a-breakbeat sound is seen to be mash-up

    Nuclear strike against Iran due end of March

    i mean only that surely the u.s. armed forces could take tehran and other major iranian cities by force, w/o having to resort to nukes -- simply use the same "blitzkrieg" tactics that worked against iraq -- such that the current iranian regime would be brought to a quick end chaos would then be...

    Nuclear strike against Iran due end of March
