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.

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.

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

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.

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:

srsly that Lemon D track is ace

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?
