Guns and Roses 2 will be officially launched by Ruff Sqwad at the next Dirty Canvas night on Saturday 9th Sept at (new venue) the ICA, where they will be performing along with The Movement, DJ Cameo and most probably Plastician

Your last chance to catch Dirty Canvas in the East End before we move up West As well as Ears & Unorthodox, there's rising mc Maverick, DJs Tiny Prancer and Magic and exclusive previews of Lord of the Mic clashes More details here and here

I was there too and thought pretty much the same. They played mainly new stuff too - but it was the stuff from the last album that got the crowd really going...the new stuff also sounds great though, more electronic. I dunno, but I reckon alot of the younger fans have come to them via (them...

All this while out-witting Sven for a third-time and taking Portugal to tonight's World Cup semi...this Gene Hackman lookalike has to be some kind of legend

I'm involved in running one on Vyner St in Hackney this summer again. There's no corporate involvement in our one (well not yet anyway). Ruff Sqwad and Chicks on Speed will be playing

I suppose what was good about the Wire in the mid-nineties was that it didn't have such a defined "demographic". It didn't have what is has now where you could describe a night/a shop or a radio show/station (Resonance) as Wire-readery. It's the definition of and pandering to 'the demographic'...

The editorial sucked, went something like: yes back in the nineties we paid a passing interest to jungle, but didn't like that 2 step rubbish and people kept telling us about grime, which we didn't really like (hell it's bad enough sharing a bus with those chavs without having to endure them on...

Still listening here Probably a bit old but I'm loving the 2 JME et al (Boy better know) mixtapes, great work

yes, I concur with this too...I found it it quite desperate and they always had some godawful jazz-funk thing playing too. They also had those awful 'fit the demographic' recommendation chain promotions, things like "do you like Stereolab, hey we think you'll like this by Broadcast and this by...

Bumping this one up for tonight.... The night kicks off early (around 8.30pm) with NG Cartel Then Norwood's finest LDOTMAN from N Double A will perform tracks from his recently released and excellent 'Facts of Life Vol 2' mixtape and MC Big Narstie , fresh from the huge success of the...

Shame Simon... yes L Man should be good, but I'm almost looking forward to hearing the out-of-town (Nottingham) grime more

DIRTY CANVAS with: MC Big Narstie (N Double A) LDOTMAN (N Double A) NG Cartel (Nottingham's finest) Hosted by G Double DJ Magic and Bun-u on the decks Friday 26th May 2006 7.30 - 11.30pm Whitechapel (Art Gallery) 80-82 Whitechapel High St LONDON E1 7QX

Grime’s in a lull for sure, but it has inspired too many youngers to take up mcing (and to a lesser degree producing and djing) for it not to be maintained for some time yet, and hit new peaks when new styles and talent come through. The reasons for the lull have been already mentioned, artists...

Bonnie Camplin Electrelane Cecile The Go Gos

On the brilliant "Heavy Epic" by Bonnie Camplin (my favourite record right now!), there's a short track called "The Normal Food" which includes these lyrics In my fridge I got Daddies Sauce Cheddar Cheese Heinz Baked Beans (the normal food, the normal food)

I'm a fugazi too...from Coventry for real

That seals it, you must be the only. One.

I was thinking about this today. I listen to lots of hip hop and grime but if I try to rap I sound at best something like Roland Rat on 'rat rappin'. It seems to be something that only da yout can master - anyone beg to differ?

Aside from the obvious promotional benefits (for bands, nights, mags etc), yes Woebot is right, it’s all a bit shallow and nauseating. There is a sense of you’ve set up you’re page, put in all your favourite bands, tele programmes, movies, your mottos, you’ve stuck up a carefully choreographed...

Q-tips ‘toast’ Completely true this – when I was about 11, I had my own band and wrote about 6 songs, all of which were about food. There was ‘cup of tea’, ‘bread and jam’, ‘biscuits’, ‘ice cream and jelly’, I forget the other two, but you get the gist.
