Shoreditch, here we come.

Wandering round town at the weekend it struck me how fast and hard the dickhead glasses fad died.

There's a dumb new tumblr doing the rounds that has Wire Magazine-y type acts portraited in an SP mode. Even I recognise but a handful of the gallery, and actually like the output of even less.

Have you heard his first album at all? Pretty underrated I reckon.

Timbaland innit. Second album, Deliverance was highly acclaimed but sold fuck all, then he came back with a track with the Ying Yang twins which did well. Never really made a huge splash but I always thought he was an excellent mc.

I'll give it a crack Matty, never even heard of him 'til today.

Missy had broad appeal. I think my Mum had all her stuff. MY MUM.

Missy got really ill, as in genuinely unwell. Would be nice to see her making waves again.

Aw, that sucks. I remember when get ur freak on came out and every single dj and producer I saw over a few months was doing something fun or interesting with it.

Apparently it was Graves Disease. Sounds nasty.

My ex's mum had Graves Disease, her eyeballs started to bulge out like crazy and she got a skin condition so bad she looked like a zombie movie extra. Also went shopping crazy and spent £20,000 or so on utter crap (when I helped clean out her shed post-diagnosis she had five lawnmowers and SEVEN deep-fat fryers). Luckily the debt she accrued was all written off on mental health grounds. She was dead nice as well. I felt terrible for her, as due to the fairly noticeable symptoms she stopped going out and doing stuff and just stayed in, feeling rotten. 

It's a totally fucked up illness, luckily in the UK we're quite good at diagnosing it but in America people still die of it due to not being able to afford the healthcare required.

Marty Feldman had it, hence the eyeball thing. Truefact there.

just saying

g.man

In a 2Pac mood today.



Man was an awesome actor, too.

crazy but good

Ach tis no good, try as I did, Micachu's new Never LP just isn't as arrestingly poppy and tight as the debut, still the top release of '09. Has its moments and broadly perpetuates the sound, give or take a Tyondai Braxton/Battles-y flourish but there's excessive filler. Shoulda stuck with Herbert on the production assist I will suppose.

Still, will retain some faith in this girl, she's switched on.

Trying to pick songs for my wedding disco. We've limited ourselves to 20 songs each.

How the hell I can do this with musical taste that goes from 1940's RnB to the last Scissor Sisters album and quite literally every point in-between I don't know.

How do you pick one Pixies song?

I've started picking songs at N for some reason. Nazareth next to NiN next to N.W.A. will be fine...right.

Should have done that thing where you ask everyone to pick a song on the invitation, then you can all drown in each other's fuck awful taste.

Alternatively, an hour of Little Angels followed by an hour of Terrorvision. Enjoy.
