...bothered to download or find anything new since. My roommates and I have been listening to the pre-release 12” from the Gorillaz and Daft Punk. The new Justus Kohncke record as well as the Bloc Party LP have been on pretty constant rotation since January. Also, grime: anything by Wiley, or anything off the Run the Road comp. The new LCD Soundsystem record is worth buying just for the bonus disc that compiles all the singles. Unbelievable stuff to dance to. My band, Blanks, just recorded a bunch of demos over break...
...whose limb looks like a shank of lamb. The elbow is essentially gone, and the lower and upper arm is barely held together by a few sinewy strings of muscle and flesh. Though paint is peeling off the walls and a layer of grime covers many of the hospital's windows, Sigli's only hospital is fairly clean compared with many others in Indonesia's remote provinces. There are small victories. A young girl is wheeled in for surgery, her left foot severed at the heel. The doctors fear they may have to remove her leg at the calf...
...These specs of grime are perfect gathering places for the CO2 molecules. (Champagne, concedes Liger-Belair, is "a symbol full of contradictions.") He does, however, offer a science-based tip for tipplers: Don't eat peanuts or wear lipstick.

Instead, what gives birth to the bubble is, ahem, dirt - dust particles on the glass, or cellulose strands from the dish towel used to dry it.

...commodities; they’re not commodities selling themselves as art. Paradoxically, they’re not inert; far from it—dancefloor music is alive, forces you to listen with more than your ears. What corner you inhabit depends on how you feel. Why else would U.K. grime artists like Dizzee Rascal and Wiley Kat have come up with the inhuman beats they rhyme over? They grew up listening to breakbeat hardcore and jungle, whose twisted beats became their “rhythmic code” (to borrow from Simon Reynolds...
