well worth it
It's a documentary about the development of turntablism.

Grand Mixer DXT features heavily, as do Invisbl Skratch Piklz.

And yeah yeah yeah the Bulletproof Scratch Hamsters and the X-Ecutioners.

I know it's not the same, but it's similar.
I've wanted a pet tortoise for ages. I haven't got a lawned garden though, so going to have to wait until my next house :'(

On the 'must have' list: lawned garden, semi, off road parking. I've been looking at some places near me in York.

It came as quite a shock I still don't really know the thinking behind getting me one
However I have now trained it to be hand fed.

Are you looking at places that may benefit in value from the HS2 line?
(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:50, Reply)
HS2 is a funny bugger.
I was looking at Church Fenton, but then the HS2 line was confirmed as going right through it, ruining the property values.

York's getting a connecting hub, and I reckon, realistically, that it'll go in pretty close to me. I live in West York, Holgate, and the main rail line goes past about 5 mins walk from here, the station is only a mile away from my house and there's loads of waste ground round the back of the station which was due to be developed.

If they put the hub in within walking distance of my gaff then the value of my house should shoot up even further.

I gather that Church Fenton will just have the tracks but not a local stop?

(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:57, Reply)
Precisely.
It's a lovely wee village. The normal rail line goes through it and it has a station, but HS2 needs new lines which will go through a part of the village. People are facing CP on their houses. It'll ruin the village.

York's getting a proper hub connection.

oh yer, also check out keepintime
it's legendary soul & funk drummers playing live with Cut Chemist, DJ Babu etc.

But it's not real music though Harters, always remember that 'songs' played on an acoustic guitar are music, while anything involving DJing just isn't music or musicianship.

NEVER FORGET.

Right you are
who came out with that pile of crap?
(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:46, Reply)
Captain Placid.
It's clear to me that playing acoustic guitar in a pub in Coventry with his mate Pooflake is head and shoulders above anything that's been done by Cut Chemist, DJ Premier, DJ Babu, DJ Shadow or Geoff Barrow.

No, he genuinely thinks that.
It's tragicomic really.

Like I said - partly

(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:58, Reply)
So you really think that, say, DJ Babu has no talent and that it's just the emperor's new clothes?
See Placid, if you base your entire view of hip hop on the cheap commercial shit you hear on the radio then that's like judging all punk by Good Charlotte or all folk by the standard of Mumford & Sons.
(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:59, Reply)
I'll take a listen to DJ Babu & surf through the associated youtube stuff and let you know

That's nothing apparentley Nakers hates Jazz
Trying to explain how varied it was didn't really help him
(, Sat 20 Jul 2013, 9:53, Reply)
I think it's just ignorance really. Not necessarily in a bad way.
John Coltrane is tremendous- emotional, technical, badass. Ditto Miles Davis. But if you just think of Acker Bilk when you think of jazz then you'll think it's shit, innit.

Agreed

Giant Steps is fucking amazing.
The audacity of Coltrane on that track is breathtaking.

also see Roy Ayes

He's sampled on loads of stuff.
You into DnB? I was perusing old metalheadz tracks the other night and this Lemon D one came up, it's got a proper G Funk vibe to it. Proper Amen business as well:

nahhh it's DnB so it's not really music
now throw down an Acoustic guitar in a nice Coventry pub and we are talking proper music.

I wonder if Pooflake is as gifted a musician as he is a writer?
