    You

    i feel i have a long way to go and haven't yet found the balance between self-preservation and caring for others, i either care way too much or too little..but suspect i haven't changed since childhood when i was always shy and withdrawn. as has been said circumstances force most shy children...

    Pop Song Of The Year

    secret shame, the Feeling. i have been known to like powerpop. there, i said it. jellyfish, crowded house, beatles-inspired melody in general. this sean kingston track makes me think of 60's soul

    Ruff Sqwad

    durty goodz 'licence to skill' addresses this brilliantly. listening to axiom EP for this first time i thought that with major label backing he could shift tonnes...it's not grime that gives way for the sake of a popular audience but the eclectic range of influences i think has something for...

    "Indie" / 7 ages of rock

    definitely...i'm sure many people are familiar with simon reynolds' 'rip it up and start again'...this had an excellent chapter on rough trade and the indie labels of the late 70's/ early 80's, these were the true originators of independent music- factory, postcard etc i guess now it's more a...

    what are you reading now?

    just finished a collection of H.P Lovecraft horror stories. some have dated worse than others as the themes have since been turned into horror cliche but on the whole quite spine-chilling stuff. a particular favourite is 'under the pyramids', written by Lovecraft as a diary narrative by Harry...

    Ruff Sqwad

    i've only recently started listening to guns n' roses vol.2, and i'm surprised. i don't really watch channel U, but i'd imagine many of the tracks on there are U-friendly. Ruff Sqwad to me are another example of the versatility of the grime template, lyrically and musically...at one point...

    misanthropy - why is it so bad?

    at the most difficult times, relationship problems, loneliness etc, i would have a tendency to get existential about everything..to the extent that you come to thinking that love is nothing but a hormonal/chemical reaction and there is no such thing as the romantic notions one used to cherish...

    Grime as therapy

    public enemy definitely sort you out. 'it takes a nation of millions...' i took a while to eventually buy but there's focus in that album. 'night of the living baseheads', although it knocks what has been a favourite pastime, convinces you that there's no need to blaze. and there isn't...it just...

    Grime as therapy

    I'm new here so if there has already been a lengthy thread on this forgive me, but the effect this particular range of sounds has had on my life has been profound. i'm sure clinical depression (whether accepted or not by the unafflicted it exists) is beaten by the determination and resolve of...

    Alan Johnston released

    i particularly enjoyed one aspect of his capture, which was the ransom tape that was broadcast. Johnston announcing that his captors has strapped a bomb to him and were threatening to blow a hole in his chest in perfect newscaster tones. he really didn't seem phased by the mortal danger and...

    The Lady Diana memorial concert

    it was typically self-conscious and i think a missed opportunity to get down with the kids. morbid curiosity led me to switch on just as Bryan Ferry wheezed out a final tired number and the Princes got jiggy...the obligatory appearance by Elton John and a children's choir demonstrates how a...
