i love that i frequent a few different message boards covering all sorts of music and the one common theme among all of them - a universal truth if you will - is that bobby gillespie is a right nobhead

The only thing that made them decent was Andrew & Hugo driving the desk. Never undestood their appeal post-Screamadelica, tbh.

Looking forward to the new Dust & Grooves vol2 but, if they think i’m paying £90+ for a book they’re tripping

A plug for Steve KIW’s new book which I believe is out soon.
*disclaimer: I had a small hand in this but, setting that aside, it is a really well written series of essays, talking about the different records that shaped his first 50 years on earth.

That looks great, always loved his unique review terminology and his obsessively accurate bpm measurements!
Theyre all archived here. Spent ages going through them last year

Seeing the gradual change from DJs in high st discotheques reporting back on what songs mix well with what, and the 80s funk + soul thing (very much a cliquey boys club of DJs) gradually evolve into clubs playing hip hop and house which then goes into the pop charts is really interesting.
Alongside that, theres the mentions of songs that were expected to be huge or had a brief moment and then faded. Its a great time capsule.

Another typically interesting piece from Swiss Adam and the video is worth a watch. A lesson in how not to play a gig but still turn out something brilliant
