It might be one of Todd's remixes of Anthill Mob's 'You Should Have Known': Definitely one of my favourite Todd tracks. I posted on this thread a few years ago when I was doing a bit of writing about Todd's microsampling techniques. An article has ended up in a book and there's a shorter...

I read Kodwo's review of Paul D. Miller's Sound Unbound collection in The Wire over the weekend. Looks like they had a disagreement over an interview with William Gibson that Spooky decided not to include. Interestingly, Kodwo criticises it for neglecting theorists of globalisation like Hardt &...

Yeah, the No Scrubs (Dub Mix) is on Full On 3 which came out last year: http://www.irecordings.com/releases/release.html?idRelease=352 Possibly the weakest in the series though. I thought a compilation of his remixes would have been better but its maybe too costly in terms of licensing for I...

"None of that writer-as-adolescent shite..."

I'm doing a bit of research on Todd the God at the moment so thought I'd bump this up a bit. Terror Danjah from Down Under's question appears to be unanswered and I wonder if there is a tendency to avoid a discussion of what is actually happening rhythmically in dance music criticism even in...

Looking forward to seeing that one in my local Tesco store!

There was a really good George Clinton documentary on BBC2 a couple of weeks ago but don't think it was called Mothership Connection. It was the week after they showed the Sun Ra doc 'Space is the Place' so perhaps the Afro-futurist discourse has reached the Beeb. I've got a feeling that Don...

What was the Kenna album? Must have missed that one! Some great one off singles for Toni Braxton, Usher, Fabulous, Ray-J, Nelly, Busta, Mystikal also although my favourite Neptunes production is probably 'Grimey' by Noreaga.

Surely Mary J Blige is the heir to Aretha's throne?

yeah sounds nice, as does one of the tracks on myspace i would maybe be a bit more discreet about naming tracks you have sampled tho!

Not sure why this is cool or kool? According to Wikipedia, Kasabian was the getaway driver who took no part in the killings and was given immunity for testifying against the Manson family. 'Actionists, beatniks, hippies and serial killers were all pure libertarians who advanced the rights of...

'SexyBack' is better than anything on Justified. Easily.

Sounds like he's trying to imitate Pharell's vocal style. Produced by Timbo tho I take it?

Its a while since I've read it but I don't think so. There are a couple of pages about folk ideology and the relationship between performer and audience etc where he quotes from a book called 'The British Folk Scene' by Niall MacKinnon. Has anyone read that?

i'm surprised by this too. didn't realise he was such a stooge for the mobutu regime although the entry in the Rough Guide to World Music and this article by Robert Christgau make it clear he wasn't totally unquestioning: http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0127,christgau,26085,22.html

the one on his site http://www.reebee.net/chart isn't that user friendly right enough! is the family tree method a better way of representing the genealogy of music i wonder.. i know richard dawkins talks about memes as the cultural equivalent of genes and i was just reading something kodwo...

i was having trouble with the link yesterday but think that was a problem with the site itself. try this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,1711904,00.html i didn't think it was particularly negative when i read it, just reiterating the usual ofcom claims although it does show a...

interesting interview with wookie from the end of last year: http://www.ukg-interviewed.com/wookie.htm think its interesting what he says about not really being part of the garage scene as a raver or dj and maybe confirms thoughts I've had previously about the scene being really disparate and...

has anybody got a link to either of these on a site or a mix or something? been reading about the track for a while (grimey 4/4 tis it not?) but been unable to get a blast on juno, independance, etc.. cheers.

at last.. the rinse stream is back up and runnin tings again.. big up the north of the border crew!
