I think Denmark have been unfairly characterised as the weakest team in that group. I'm pretty sure they beat Portugal twice in qualification? If anything it is them (Portugal) who are going to be the whipping boys of the group...

It reminds me slightly of the one-sided England vs. Germany rivalry (I'm pretty sure Germany are pretty meh about the whole thing, seeing their true rivals as Netherlands?) But really, there is no historical asshurt here. I just like trolling the English who seem to care very deeply...

skel said:Let that shit go. It's probably hundreds of years old. Nah, only the staunchest nationalist would base any of this on history. In fact, it would frankly be un-British not to carry on the proud tradition of the neighborly, good-natured rivalry, ?? la Millwall and West Ham...

edulus said:Russia looked really good, I was reading that 6 of the starting line-up also start for Zenit, so that makes sense. I'm thinking that the six Liverpool players called up for England might have a different effect...

Ha! When the Olympics roll around I'll consider getting my jingoism on for Team GB... Also, having finally remembered to buy some CD's I can now burn some tunes for you. Let me know where to send them.

come monday evening, je suis fran??ais. nothing but an utter collapse from les rosbifs will do: hopefully some defensive comedy from england's brave john terry, some all round comedy from andy carroll and heapings of dubious refereeing decisions will be the order of the day...

sad news. this is one of his that i've played a lot...

The_Non said:U2-all hits R&B This will sound just as bad a the Phil Collins R&B cover album. Now a Talking Heads, all hits, all R&B would be a different matter. And not quite a genre suggestion, I would really love to hear Can cover the entire Kraftwerk discography.

I find this both hilarious and disgusting... "Unemployed bussed in to steward river pageant" - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/04/jubilee-pageant-unemployed

Horseleech said: Doesn't the Monarchy have a 70% - 80% approval rating? If so, that would probably make it the most popular governing entity in the world. Except that they don't really govern in any discernible way. If they did, and they had to take responsibility for...

This weekend I've found myself less bothered by the royal family than by the the millions of flag waving morons. I'm told that these millions show just how much support and love there is for the queen, but when an equal number of millions go out on strike then it's all damp squib this...

dollar_bin said:Presenting somebody else's creative work without attribution is plagiarism. Funny thing is this reminds me of the whole "curation is the new creation" thing that's about at the moment. It seems you have people with blogs or whatever getting upset when they feel their...

damms said:I could have formulated this way: it's absurd to me to know Hampton Hawes without having a clue on Monk. Hope you get the point better. Personally, I don't find this absurd at all. If you're new to a particular genre everything starts off equally rare and equally new. The...

Madlib has certainly put out some garbage under one alias or another, but this album for one will always stand up.

Coincidentally, just read this from Gilles Peterson earlier today on Twitter: Link: https://twitter.com/gillespeterson/status/207424583941365761

Can't really remember much that happened personally. Musically, I think I was pretty much steeped in broken beat...

Genuinely surprised than another Prince Charles related PR stunt is successful. I thought that even amongst staunch Royalists he was considered an imbecile and borderline embarrassment?

One of the most overrated bands of recent memory. Covering all the bases from lad rock to dad rock. In hindsight, "Fools Gold" sounds like a massive fluke on their part.

J i m s t e r said:Manics have a valid claim to something. I will ride for the Nicky stuff, they sold it to me. I will add Sir Tom and Dame Shirley have valid claims to membership here too. I have a lot of time for "The Holy Bible", but not much time for anything else Manics...

skel said:Welsh John Cale would be the perfect choice were it not for the fact that he is 100% more New York than Newport.
