thanks & no worries - p money 'what did he say?' is out soon, then some more, truss as a coventry kid, i always wondered about those bars - i know coventry cross had some jungle nights way back when, but assumed a namesake in london (or that i was just mishearing)

ok, strange wiley related question, in his early bars wiley says 'i've being doing this since coventry cross' - anybody knows what he means?

orbital, chemical brothers, fat boy slim have all had headlining slots without the vitriol reserved for Jay Z - which incidentally was started by the core fanbase on the messageboards after the announcement, not by noel gallagher who was simply laying the boot in once it had all started

hehe - okay so I'm not up with which of the Wire's untouchables are still with us, but you catch my drift man!

must admit that I'm liking the influx of new writers in the mag (biased of course cos I've followed their blogs and met a few)...though the mag's problem is that its suffered from the creation of its own demographic - if you say 'Wirey music or Wire-style crowd' musos will know what your talking...

I see this as mainly a class-based issue, Jay Z is chav music and we can't be doing with that at Glasters

this one later....

me too (promised to catch up with a few people before so here's my chance)

this youtube clip on hyperfrank's site has ghetto, skepta, wiley, jammer et al all arguing like school boys over who has the biggest willy....but some good DC clips on there

Well I already referred to this and this isn't a bad example of how the accreditation is being used for an image makeover

on the contrary, the two things are completely linked - companies will use these symbols to show their practices are non-exploitative when in fact they are anything but

Yes, it's a badge, an accreditation - won and then circumvented and abused. A bit like a the companies I've worked for with the 'Investors in People' quality mark who curiously treat their staff like shit

I notice that companies with very bad image problems are sometimes the ones flaunting fair trade goods. Your tea on a Ryanair flight is fair trade - like the fair trade badge on the cuppa will somehow make you feel better about flying with a company fucking over staff and the environment. There...

But who is quantifying anything? do you know at the point of purchase how much the farmer is being paid for the product you are buying? No - so your buying into a brand, a notion that something good is being done somewhere, somehow...a similar vague notion to your chances of getting laid will...

...but I think doing this lets Governments off the hook - we're not even waiting for capitalism to be overthrown, just expecting our Governments rather than companies to legislate for fair trade

I disagree with it on so many levels - it assumes consumers should believe what companies say about their products (why believe in a company’s claim that it was ‘made ethically’ when their claims that their product will make you ‘more sexy’ you will take with a pinch of salt) – the...

It was my first record, I thought all albums were made like this

...got to say Maniac's Devil EP is a minor masterpiece. Three of the four tracks are amazing 'classical' (perhaps the best known as its been in lots of sets) sounds like mournful game music, 'general' is philip glass rolling in bow and best of all 'devil' is just amazing I can't stop listening...
