    New Sade (with No ID!)

    This is the very special best gift for a Tuesday morning. Even if its purpose is to soundtrack the effects artists credits in a children's fantasy film with heavy religious overtones. Funny because I was on a Sade revisiting tip again the last few weeks. It's as if I knew (I didn't). Loving...

    The Revenant (Big Bear Doin Thangs)

    Watched this on the big screen last night after being convinced to go by some friends who were more up for it than myself. Impressions: - I liked it a lot more than Birdman - it's as technically brilliant but in a different, to me more engaging, way. - Alejandro González Iñárritu has...

    JT finally (finally!) bringing sexy back

    What? The Strut has forgotten all about JT the singer? Can't believe it's been over six years since his last album - this is no Cry Me A River or My Love but it still sounds decent enough to me and is "A Grower". What say people? The Jay cameo is forgettable but not Umbrella or Crazy In...

    The latest revival of RnB - Sensitive seduction and crotch thrusts

    Maybe it's just where my attention has shifted the last few months but, as the established stars seem to travel ever further into the world of euro pop shite, there seems to me to be a recent revival in top drawer commercial RnB from other male vocalists. The revival isn't limited to one...

    Journeys on the cusp between melody and texture

    Morning. So, the thrilling combination of quitting smoking, stress at work and the kind of headcold that underlines just how serious man-flu can be has left me with what must be approaching chronic insomnia. On the nightly trawls through iPhone apps that could possibly, but inevitably don't...

    Odd Future

    While this is obviously an open invitation for posters to come in and state that these guys are The End Of Rap I was wondering how many other poasters have been eating up these guys output recently? I got introduced to them through the Tyler - BASTARD album and went from there to EARL and have...

    Afghanistan war logs

    So, anybody checked out the Wikileaks yet with all the leaked military files? Unsurprisingly Wikileaks seems to have been crushed under the number of hits it's received but the Guardian's got an easy to use clickable map with what they mark as 300 of the key incidents...

    Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty

    So only got a heads up a little while ago that Big Boi was offering a stream of the whole album on his MySpace page (who would have thought that I'd find something interesting on MySpace in 2010). Just had a listen through and, while it's a bit tricky to come to a definite conclusion on a stream...

    Red Dead Redemption

    Tried to bump the old thread but failed miserably.So, after all the delays the game is out in America and comes out here this Friday. While it will be a welcome relief from the MW2 abuse I'm currently putting myself through am now in the tricky position of having to make a call on which system...

    I called you up, but you weren't there...

    ....and I was broken heartedEvery time the site goes down I stare into the void that is a day at work without SS and it frightens me. I'm not ready to deal with the darkness that lies there quite yet.Animals strike curious poses.On the plus side I actually got some work done rather than...

    Modern Freakish Folk recommendations

    I've recently been really getting into these modern folk singers and their slightly off kilter releases. Almost all of them are depressing in one form or another but they seem to be building up to be my commuting music for the summer.I've adored Joanna Newsom since first hearing her and a friend...

    New Mixtape recommendations

    It seems like a minute since the last one of these threads and since there seem to be way more decent mixtapes than albums at the moment thought now was as good a time as ever. Been loving these recently:(Yeah I know the Freddie Gibbs isn't a mixtape as such)What else is out there doing the...

    Trae - The Beginning

    <img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61bDiO6R9ML._SL500_AA240_.jpg"1<b,121<b,121So, skipping over the god awful cover art - is this some kind of compilation of never before released material? If so, anyone able to advise whether it's worth picking up? Thanks.

    Hopkins Vs Calzaghe

    Predictions for the fight?Calzaghe's a decent boxer with good technical ability while Hopkins has gone beyond being a veteran at 43. I have to (and will) be putting money on the Welshman to come good. I also plan to stagger myself better for this one than the Mayweather V Hatton fight and not...

    Rick Ross: Trilla

    Notice it hasn't got rave reviews but personally think it's the most enjoyable rap album I've heard so far this year. Wasn't a big fan of Port Of Miami but this is a much more solid release.Ross doesn't really break any new ground and the album sounds like a combination of bits from Thug...

    English Premier League NAGLR

    http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2254528,00.html Normally I take all the bizarre and shit moneymaking schemes the Premier League puts forward with an air of resignation but this is truly a whole new level in insanity.I love how they put forward that having one extra game will even it...
