good to see tribute in the mix,
forevernevermore is probably the best album i've ever heard.
just picked up bravery, a busier sound than before, looking forward to hearing more.
excellent column, as ever
great to see faltydl and nosaj thing getting some exposure.
prick was easily the best song
and it got maybe the best response on the dis messageboard.
b) It's Jo & Danny
yup.
great interview.
that is all.
van basten and zidane
are good choices, but i've scored much better goals than the others.
my favourite is probably messi vs getafe...

think i'll watch any way the wind blows
today, by the singer of deus. music by squarepusher, herbie hancock and mingus. i have high hopes.
other tip-top highlights that ain't been mentioned:
agnostic mountain gospel choir and radio luxembourg. bowerbirds were disappointing.
damn, these boys really get
itchy feet, musically.
this has some of the wackest beats
i've ever heard.
nas has done loads of wicked tunes since illmatic:
nas is like
favor for a favor
life is what you make it
ether
one mic
get down
made you look
heaven
thief's theme
hip-hop is dead
not bad at all for clashes,
pentagle with caribou is the worst for me.
eurockeennes 2005
might be the best i've been to:
bonnie prince billy
bright eyes
common
electrelane
isis
kraftwerk
queens of the stone age
saul williams
sonic youth
the one i'm looking forward to
and no-one mentioned is buraka som sistema
other than that will probably get deerhunter, massive attack and oberst.
feel old when i hear rolo tomassi, just don't get it at all.
cheers
and i don't mean that in a sarcastic way.
still disagree about kanye and brion, think you're making too much of that, but interesting to hear about the verve thing, nice one.
not heard the album
but i disagree with some of the review. what song of kanye/ brion sounds in any way rock?
bitterwsweet symphony has a string sample, so what? loads of dance tunes have string samples and drum loops, but are nothing to do with hip-hop.
i thought the consensus was that the original in search of is classic and rerecorded it's shit, that's what i reckon anyway.
july skies make beautiful music
listen to slayer if you want to wake up, not go to sleep.
outsiders is the best song on the album
and being the closer is certainly in the second half.
dis
'recieved the album sampler months ahead of its eventual release'
why do you say this every time you talk about foals? it's really dull.
excellent review
'comatose beats, dragged by the collar towards something less vacant'
great writing.
(b) Axel Willner's The Field
i especially want the justus kohnke album.

crunk incompatible
what makes crunk incompatible with coldplay? tha play were on the jay-z album. he ain't crunk, but it's all hip hop, innit.
look at the size of him
this reminds me of damon albarn's latest project, but good...
lightning bolt own that guy out of the clash and that guy out of the verve.
konono no1 eat that drummer out of fela kuti's band.
timbaland eats dangermouse. look at the size of him.
british murder boys
that's got me all misty-eyed about when dave clarke used to drop idioteque at bugged out. british murder boys should remix harrowdown hill.
the ribery comment made me laugh.
u2 pop
your pop at u2 has left me with a face like a 3-year old who's just been told that his hamster and mummy were just killed. after the mummy has locked up the 3-year old for 3 days, with the hamster, who only has the 3-year old's extremeties for food. 3 days is a long time when you're 3-years old. almost a whole percent of your life.
kwassa kwasssssssup
sorry, 'as reference points'
kwassa kwasssssssup
why shouldn't the writer use african people as a reference points? i think he's wrong about fela kuti, though- fela's horn section was the key, but no horns in foals, if memory serves me right. also tony allen's drumming was way slower than foals. kompakt records are a better reference point.
ownership
is anyone else owned by the following albums from the chosen time period?
moodymann- silence in the secret garden
zabrinski- ill gotten game
the roots- game theory
ulrich schnauss- a strangely isolated place
rjd2- deadringer
common- electric circus
guessing
bloc party, flaming lips, delgados, atdi, arctic monkeys, qotsa. how was the list decided?

when 'it' was talking
about computers here, i thought your computer technician had joined the interview and then they carried on. when it clicked... oh, i'm an idiot.
good interview, looking forward to album.
