1. Abstain every time you see a picture of a joyless/po-faced musician.
2. Abstain every review you read that sounds like pained/difficult listening.
3. Abstain for every article that fails to mention anything fun.

I really hate to continue the hate, but what about Mike Skinner's rapid, sudden, reverse-meteoric decline from the new Specials to the new Jilted John("Fit But You Know It")-cum-David Gray("Dry Your Eyes Mate")
A sad, bad, boring, prosaic, manipulative follow-up to a novel, fresh, exciting debut.

Haha! Brilliant! Nail on the head with that - I always wondered quite what it was I didn't like about the look.
Agree with the instant coffee point too. Especially cheap instant.

"jazzy" hip-hop, with the sole exception being the Roots (whom i luv)
post PIL stuff by Jah Wobble, which should be an embarrassment to him, although he keeps churning shit out (referring more to his solo albums...laid down a good lie or two on the Primal sream thingy)

shit - I just ordered it from Amazon. Just heard one track "List of Demands" - which I quite liked,
get it from here http://2005.sxsw.com/music/showcases/band/19890.html .
hmm - haven't actually read that before. "emo-core" should have set my alarms bell off
Oh well, I won't cancel, had a gift voucher. I can live with him being wordclever - and at least
he seems to be trying to stretch rap/hip-hop a little bit (I am so sick of gangsta rap).
If I am not listening to Saul - who (working in a similar format) should I listen to instead ?

Love it.
Who isn't? I had no idea that Saul was to be some sort of saviour of hip-hop.
Having listened to the whole of the SXSW-legal-torrent I bundled him together with
Meg Lee Chin (who is quoting Ginsberg on her track. I only know that
because I happened to read the Guardian last week and they had a piece on some
beat poet; the quote "best minds of my generation" was there for me to see and
connect with Chin's "Nutopia").
The bundling together of these two was in the category
"clever, with a bit off aggro/electro going on".
Just did a combined search for "Meg Lee Chin" and "Saul Williams" on Google and the
first entry reads "Althetic sexual stallion seeking good conversation" .
Oh dear, a "24 year old software developer" looking for a threesome ...
(and a better spellchecker).
I will probably be listening to Saul with that in mind now. Cheers

oh come now. I stopped my subscription of 3 years last year, because the publication is indeed in some kind of decline, but I've constantly thought about renewing ever since I stopped: it's still miles ahead of most music magazines out there. I used to love getting it in the mail... how some other people must feel getting the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in the mail. in fact... now that I think about it... maybe I will renew it afterall... hmmm...
yes the streets second effort is a nausea inducing.
and although Jah Wobble's solo stuff is not holding up with the passage of time nearly as well as those first 2 PIL records, I used to really enjoy it... that one record with Nata it's much better than most other white people doing "world" music. even better than some brown people doing "world" music... which brings me to --
I piss on Global Underground and take a nice fat dump on Asian Dub Foundation. and Talvin Singh gets a proper bitch-slap in the face.

who cares about the Bays I fucking hate HMGovt's icon. that is the most insufferable show I have ever had the misfortune of seeing 2 whole episodes of. it was like watching my parents whine, complain, bicker, and nag about fucking NOTHING for 2 hours. I can not think of anything more annoying. (not applicable in some ways, but there's a reason why Chinese are called "the Jews of Asia")

I hate the following:
Jimmy Saville - I'd do time if they'd let me kill him with my bare fists.
Public Transport and people who talk to me on it, or that cunt with the crinkly carrier bag with something stuck in the fucking corner - you fucking cunt.
The bastard that gets on a empty train with me in Leeds at 6.23am and then sits across from me.
People who treat music like fruit and veg, fuck your spread sheet you prick.
People who just run with the crowd, do you know what you what for tea? eh eh?
That should do for now...

Oh man, Jack Johnson. I despise Jack Johnson. Holy fuck, give me a million half-assed post-punk wannabes flooding the airwaves to never here him again. Jesus, "a special collection of new songs and lullabyes by Jack Johnson" in the adds for the curious george movie. I can't believe how succesful he's been over here.
