The Lethal B collab is BY FAR the best thing on the album

and you can take that how you like

How the fuck is he going to buy a house in Hampstead with £22k?

LETHAL BIZZLE AND HIS RAKES IN THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD GOOD SIR.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

this wasnt an april fool cos i heard em do it live. its not good.

As NME editor Conor McNicholas explains, the bands are only too keen to get involved. "They find it incredibly flattering because the grime scene is perceived as a lot cooler and lot more real than the indie scene."

oh, sophiepaws.

I don't think that's a bad piece given what she has to work with, ie something not yet justifying the word count it's been given

That article succeeded in winding me up the tube this morning. So many bizarre assertions. Nice to see them spell Wiley's name wrong also.

(A couple of pages before, a caption informs us that the film Short Cuts is based on the stories of John Cheever!)

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Friday, 5 May 2006 09:37 (seventeen years ago) link

hah!

sophie's first line is a deft bit of self-parody.

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Friday, 5 May 2006 09:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I knew the only way they could make Lex like his second-favourite style of music (grime) would be by meshing it with his favourite (indie).

okay that lethal-bizzle-and-rakes thing is not as unpleasant as I imagined it being (i'd never heard 22 grand job before), it actually kind of works once you get over the original horror. It's better than Plan B with his guitar doing acoustic grime. :(

rappers talking about nipple-sucking to Bloc Party singing about a girl using her breasts.

wtf.... "using her breasts"????? "nipple-sucking"???

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:26 (seventeen years ago) link

'using her breasts' is code for, i don't know, titwank.

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:28 (seventeen years ago) link

as for grindie, "fire" has got guitars in it, its probably the best grindie tune

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:30 (seventeen years ago) link

the idea of bloc party singing about titwanks amuses me.

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Was there ever anything more predictable than "grindie"?

"i'm just grindie, jack"

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I always read it as "grin-dee", which makes it sound kinda like a clown.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 5 May 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

yr wrong "nipple-sucking" only got a ???

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 5 May 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I've just realised what that Rakes/Bizzle track reminds me of. "Diamonds and Guns".

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 8 May 2006 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I havent listened to this but everything I've read about grindie makes me cringe. Just the name for fucks sake...

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 8 May 2006 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Is this not just taking the worst bits of both genres and mashing it up, instead of the good bits...?

― gekoppel (Gekoppel), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, all the great bits of grime and haircut indie are being ignored in this.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarcastic! No I mean there are really good bits, but especially the kinds of indie bands Statik has got really don't fit at all... it just ends up tending towards the yob end of the spectrum in both genres... (shoutyness- the eastlondoness of it all...) rather than intriguing poly rhythms or whatever finesse actually hooked some people into grime in the first place...

― gekoppel (Gekoppel), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but the whole idea is to give grime artists who's sale figures won't stretch to them being able to buy a new juicer (ie, all of them) a chance to piggyback some indie bands of various successes to higher sales figure, it was never going to be the most thoughtful and in-depth and revolutionary of genres. I mean, it's gonna be yobbish and populist and REAL MEN DRINKING BEER AND SHAGGING BIRDS and Lethal B and the Rakes just going "Garlic bread? Garlic? Bread?" at each other for four hours.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 8 May 2006 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Who are going to be the Specials of Grindie?

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 00:49 (seventeen years ago) link

has the word 'polyrhythms' changed its meaning overnight?

― the Enrique who acts like some kind of good taste gestapo (Enrique), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 07:33 (seventeen years ago) link

grime artists aspire to buying juicers?

who is buying this nonsense?

― braveclub (braveclub), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 10:29 (seventeen years ago) link

seven months pass...

Surely the grime/indie crossover should have been called "Brrrap Your Hands Say Yeah".

That's it. That's my joke.

it didn't really 'happen' this did it?

There's going to be a "dubstep primer" in NME this week apparently. Oh well, time to abandon ship.

"Dancing with the Rudeboys" is fucking awful

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 18 November 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Lethal B and the Rakes just going "Garlic bread? Garlic? Bread?" at each other for four hours.

Would be better than "Dancing with the Rudeboys"

Any thread that finds time for Peter Such gets my blessing.

― Just got offed, Sunday, 18 November 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Was listening to "The Avenue" earlier on, Roll Deep should have done a guest verse at the end of The Fray's "How to Save A Life", that'd be a single of the year contender then

― Dom Passantino, Sunday, 18 November 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Some critics have accused it of being a press invention (comparable to New Rave).
