Rock's like all music - good bits, bad bits, and too many subgenres for its own good. (If someone tries to play me any more Artcore / Folktronica I'll have to scream...) METAL is still my love (Metalcore / Screamo / Nu-Metal). Last buys were Throwdown, 36 Crazyfists and Deftones. Personally I...

There are some blogs that have only this purpose... http://naupyrata.blogspot.com/ think of it as 'spreading the news'. ;)

foret - i love my mp3 blogs, but that one doesn't get updated very often..! in the spirit of 'share and enjoy', i offer you these - about 5 new brazilian LPs daily. http://loronix.blogspot.com/ http://mpb-acesso-raro.blogspot.com/ http://umquetenha.blogspot.com/ peace out

I stay out of mainstream hip hop circles... (unashamed backpacker) - what does 'Hyphy' refer to?

worth peeping, if no-one's posted this before: http://magnuminmotion.com/essay_Grime/ photo-documentary... which CAN be a bit cheesy, but the commentary really helps.

In general.... 1) DVD-rips on Rapidshare 2) Music blogs full of obscure vinyl 3) The girlfriend (sorry luv :P) 4) The show '24' 5) CDs for under £2 on ebay 6) Cheesecake 7) Impromptu dancing 8) Sunday papers 9) Summer job 10) Big hats Albums... 1) Dubstep Allstars vol.04 2) Stanton...

I'd also recommend people have a peep of the "Before There Was Crunk" comp... does what it says on the tin - shows off the electronic/sex-mad hip hop coming out of the South (especially Miami) in the early 90s. Plenty of similar Booty Bass comps made at the time, but harder to come by these...

nice lineup... is it getting a wide distro, or will we have to pick it up straight from the label?

I think that's a moot point TBH, you could say the same with any two scenes that vaguely follow one another - what matters more is their individual developments...

LOL.... tings in my socks!! serrrrious.

Fraid not... is it on MTV circulation? I don't have those channels atm. More controversial (I'd imagine) is the new cut from DJ Shadow - what was he thinking? http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=3076

Half-arsed sounds about right... But maybe the scene has dug itself into a bit of a hole. Now that it's (on the whole) given up aping America, what's left is the grime scene - which suffers from negativity, in-fighting, and attacks from berks like Cameron. Mainstream media has given it a go...

I agree, Basement Jaxx made dance music interesting in my teen years. Something creative that made it over to the mainstream can't be bad. Speaking of which, I heard a DJ on radio1 saying that Bugz In The Attic could plausibly fill a jaxx-lke gap in the market... Personally I think their new...

Been doing this a lot lately, not so much searching but digging out-of print vinyl. Big up the mp3 bloggers.

according to boomkat, I should have Dubstep Allstars 4 in the post tomorrow... but when have they ever been wrong about dates?

This has always been my understanding of the Mercury. I officially love this quote.

Great topic! read the first few pages, plenty of things that had puzzled me... VIP, just to clarify, is a remix? An exclusive one that sometimes gets released? Other things, like genres, are SO hard to explain to people who aren't into the music at all. Try getting through Dancehall, Dub...

I think it's a more general criticism of our times that people largely listen to music whilst doing something else, rather than as a focused activity in itself. Perhaps it's the need to give our lives a "soundtrack", I'm not sure. Either way, I'd be careful to blame the music itself in any...

Some Hip Hop albums I've been feeling from the last month: STRANGE FRUIT PROJECT - The Healing CADENCE - Creative Commerce ASHERU - Insomnia: Sleepless In Japan HYDROPHONIC SOUND SYSTEM - Mixtape Mentality WAX TAILOR - Tales Of The Forgotten Melodies

I played some to one of my best friends for the first time last week. I think her exact words were "that's some scary shit... "
