ah, the "Rap - Talent or Rubbish" debate is always fun.<br />
"]
<br />
As evidence for the Talent side, i present a funky little song from New York's "Digable Planets" their shit is smooooth hip hop over jazzy rythms, and its super relaxing<br />

Morrissey has released his official statement on the Diamond Jubilee:<br />
<br />
<br />
[quote][i]The soul is tried all over again as the jackboot of dictatorship strangles England. This week, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee presents a new lesson in the force of tyranny, and is an expression of loathing and abhorrence of the British poor - and all done, quite naturally, at the public's expense! It is degrading to anyone of intelligence. While dictatorships throughout the Middle East are [/i][color=#000000]gently[/color][i] condemned by the British government, there is no examination of the extremism enforced by the British 'royals', who remain the most overpaid and most utterly useless people on the planet. Having done nothing to earn our respect, they demand everything by return. It is a cunning and extravagant form of benefit fraud.[/i][/quote]<br />

Love the song, love the video. -
That Smith's clip reminded me of this by Elvis Costello. Gotta love the passion in the lyrics of absolute vitriol dedicated to Maggie Thatcher.<br />

"Well I hope I don't die too soon<br />
I pray the Lord my soul to save<br />
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave<br />
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live<br />
long enough to savour<br />
That's when they finally put you in the ground<br />
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down"<br />

While finding that video I came across this, which I hadn't seen before but found quite funny..<br />

Unite, best music video ever.<br />

Popped this in the car the other day, remembered how good this is. This song is in my top 10 of all time, and this album is in my top 10 of all time. And i consider this to be one of the most influential albums of my generation (however this is just my view). Four young men very unhappy with their country and their society<br />

Good stuff before rugby as well -

Yeah that is ripper as well. -
nothing like a bit of RATM when you're fucked off with the universe and all in sundry<br />
<br />
The Smashing Pumpkins have just released a new album - Oceania. Not that bad, certainly lacks the edge of their early albums. Much more melodic in some parts. The Chimera is more old school, can't find a video of it though. -
Loving Chic's 'Dance, Dance, Dance' vid. Such good memories of being skinny white teenagers in mostly black clubs hearing this music for the first time.<br />
<br />
I've been hearing Jesca Hoop's 'Born To on' on Six Music a lot here in the UK. I've no idea what she's singing about but it's a great little choon.<br />

Speaking of skinny white guys, I believe a good argument could also be made that PSB is the greatest disco band ever ...<br />

"Left to My Own Devices," from that Prince Charlie Trust benefit concert ("Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat") in 2004. Quite sensational to get this with a full symphony. -

Awesome, had a good listen through my Pixies stuff the other week. Caught them in Auckland on the Doolittle tour. Amazing gig - wicked to have seen them! -
Interesting commentary at ESPN Grantland yesterday to coincide with the 2-cd deluxe edition of the epochal masterpiece:[b] [/b]<br />

There are some interesting observations there about how sports and art/music fans define "Greatness."<br />

(Probably) my fave song from the album. -
