I don't doubt it, but your photo did look like the last thing you'd see before your dismembered body was found in various bin bags

I can't help but thinking he would have absolutely hated me.
This is interesting cos this is how I remember listening to music in the pre-internet days.both Mark and Kodwo respond to jungle etc etc almost entirely as recordings. Hence the relapse into auteurism (but curiously it's an auteurism without any interest in the biographic - the ornery uniqueness of a personality, the life circumstances that led to these odd misshapen beings called artists)
so for instance I can't recall either of them ever writing once about pirate radio, or MCs, or what goes on in clubs.... let alone the business side of the culture.
it's an utterly lopsided approach that produces fantastic dividends in terms of the vividness and intensity of the writing about those records and how they impact your mind and your body, the pictures they create, the train of associations. it's someone listening at home, rather than in the socially embedded context that the music is primarily created for - it's how they impact your body in isolation from all other the bodies
Not completely unrelatedly, I've noticed that everyone and I mean everyone likes john eden.

Living out in the suburban sticks, listening to jungle (if I was), how could you really imagine the actual world producing and surrounding that music? You could only latch onto the music with your imagination – and the pirate radio/MCs etc. were hazy figures within that imagination.
Makes me wonder if this feeds into the fact that producers like Photek/Source Direct et al were from Suffolk/Hertfordshire, slightly distanced from the London rave culture. But then Goldie was in the thick of it and his music was just as imaginative and tailor-made for headphones, albeit with more of a rave energy.
I once got a cheque from British Telecom that was marked £6.66 - I've never cashed it in, obviouslyneon screams sold 800 copies. he said he got royalty cheques marked $ooooo which i think is quite cool
This popped up on my Twitter. I'd like @luka to listen to about 5 minutes of this as it will enrage him
