...grime”— a genre rooted in hip-hop and electronica that developed in London—can absolutely soar with a fun, funky fluidity. Just listen to opener “Get Set” by Low Deep, a messy mixture of cheap synthesizer drones, retarded drum machines, and the best dance party you’ve ever been to. Another highlight is “Gotta Man?” by Doctor & Davinche, the second track on the compilation. The jittery excitement of nearly every track is especially well suited to this song, which concerns...
...would be. But symbolic of what, exactly? Foreign affairs, aside from a few cheap shots at the U.S., barely rated a mention during the last campaign, and Harper has not rushed to fill that gap so far.

The same year, Thaksin declared war on Thailand's drug trade, cracking down on suppliers and small-time dealers. Over 2,500 of them died-killed, said government officials, by other criminals. (Human-rights groups claimed the killings were carried out by Thai security forces.) The campaign was welcomed by ordinary Thais fed up with the prevalence...
