Trigger warning! Trigger warning!
Marcus Brigstock. A man who thinks he's living in the 80s and 'tories are bastards' is the funniest thing you're ever going to hear.

He's one of the many

The only way to handle him
is to believe that he is doing a brilliantly elaborate spoof of the most irritatingly stupid left-wing person you know - the one who just believes all tories are evil toffs who want to trample the faces of the poor into the dirt.
Of course, the audience know he went to public school before dropping out of bristol university and was a tory council candidate in Cirencester.

Nope.

I'm still not listening to a fucking Radio 4 program about hip hop for the same reasons I won't read a Guardian article about the genre. Because they'll both use words like 'genre'. Inauthentic, innit?

I saw Reykjavíkurdætur (Daughters of Reykjavik), the first Icelandic act mentioned, perform live in their home city last year.
I couldn't understand a word of what they were saying, but they were highly entertaining (especially when one of them went topless for part of their set).
