well yes indeed.
"blue jam" i always contrived to listen to when i was sort of dozing off (i assume that was kind of the point of broadcasting it that time at night); it sounded about ten trillion times as frightening and dislocating as when you listen to it fully awake.
a few saturdays ago i dozed off to radio 4. when i awoke they were broadcasting what sounded like an audio-only version of the previous night's TOTP (it was the World Service). it was eerie. it reminded me of being in intensive care after my accident. i didn't have the energy even to switch on a TV, never mind watch one, but i had headphones in which I was able to listen to TV channels in sound only as well as radio channels. that was really weird. that oddly blissful vegetative state of being a totally incapacitated inpatient. i suppose it's the relief of not having to do anything for yourself anymore...even with the pain (which you always blot out in retrospect).

also, re wth world service when radio 4 ends. hearing emma someone doing the charts is pretty weird when 30 mins later you have been listening to today in parliament or something. john peels show gets put on there too on some days. its like listening to all of bbc radio refracted through some broken glass.

You mean, like, there are different genres of grime for different parts of London, and there are people who can tell the difference?
I have never felt more like a past-it Fifty Quid Bloke in my life.

Hmm, when I said low-key I guess I more meant under-exposed... but I'm sure there's people out there who can argue genre sounds by post-codes.

J.Me, Big-H, Dan - 'Meridian'
Dimples, Frisco, Cell 22 - 'T.M.T'
General L.O.K - 'Total Package'
Orange - 'Venom Empire'
Dimples, Random Impulse, Method, Ruxspin 'Gunja Fam / Rattle Pack'
I fear there are many more I'm not aware of, but there seems to be a lot going on - Skepta, P Jam, Marsta and Hindzy D are all big producers/djs also from north london.
