    Essential early jungle compilations?

    Fucking hell that's brilliant. I'll second Jungle Renegades from upthread, which I bought my brother as a Christmas present in 199x tho I think it overlaps in terms of tracklisting with one of the comps Blackdown's already got

    Roiling football blather

    Aw man, I really liked Gus. Say it ain't so... There is no chance Blatter will resign, and no pressure from anyone outside of England for him to do so. The difference between England and the rest of Europe on this seems quite telling, but basically we just know that using racist language is...

    How England Sees Itself

    I think a lot of the stuff Droid is saying re famines is pretty far from common knowledge in the UK. We've just about accepted there was a potato famine. Christ, I'm not even sure that most people in the uk see famines as anything other than natural disasters. As an aside, I'm visiting a...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    It's very recent, this mania. England have played in November before, no poppies and no fuss. Edit: in fact, two years ago they played brazil in Qatar for loads of money and didn't wear poppies and no one cared. But now it's evrywhere. All prem clubs wear shirts with poppies on in the first...

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E-R1WFkLhXU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Listened to this on loop when I was Spain in the sun last weekend. Tycho's American, but I would have put money on it being a couple of French producers. Maybe a guy with a...

    Roiling football blather

    As much as I'm disappointed that the big football news of the weekend (Grant Holt's amazing "Take em all out" header at Anfield) has been overshadowed, it was great to see another amazing Mario moment. I want one of those t-shirts. Here's another good story tho

    Dissensible Soccer

    I had Silva and Dzeko and still sucked cos I decided to go off piste and make Danny Sturridge my captain. He didn't make it to half time.

    the rap canon needs rewriting

    You're quite right. My big brother used to get the source around then and I'd sneak the odd read. I've literally not a clue where I got the above idea from. Although I note the time of the posting and the fact I went out for Friday night drinks straight from work.

    the rap canon needs rewriting

    It interests me that Illmatic was not hailed as an instant classic, but achieved canonical status by the end of the 90s. Tbf the interesting bit is how anyone in 94 might have heard those verses over those beats and not figured that it was so much better than the competition. So I'm a person...

    Kuedo

    I've been listening to UFORB a LOT recently. It is great. The bit of Blue Room where it actually gets going with the Jah Wobble baseline is a great bit of spacey aqua techno.

    Tune - Yards

    Saw this band a few weeks ago- really cool. Even the tracks which weren't melodically memorable had a good sort of Afro funk groove to them. Although the live band had 2 saxophonists, which is at least 2 too many. And cos she uses loop pedals, all the songs start the same, ie with her putting...

    Rustie

    Saw him at XOYO last night and he was pretty good. Comments above about the lack of light and shade are valid, but his set was only an hour or so. The album would be shorter than that, I'd guess, so it doesn't reach overdose point imo

    Reinvestigating 9/11

    Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean that. I was just curious. Also it's a possible explanation for his first point.
