Obama didn't pick Lil Wayne as his running mate, the total lack of new albums by Courtney Love and Ini Kamoze didn't beat down Girl Talk for not clearing his sample of Here Comes The Hotstepper.

Record Reviews
Dead Farmers
Violence
Some albums don't belong on CD. Even cassette format is a little bit too clean. Thank heavens for vinyl. Without it bands like Dead Farmers would be like dogs without homes, babies without parents or meth-addicted popstars without the sweet taste of meth. Compact discs with all their fancy crisp sound would miss the raw quality, emotion and power of bands like the Farmers. They make them sound all plasticy and shiny - like the suits that Puff Daddy and Ma$e used to wear a thousand or so years ago at the birth of glam-rap.

No regrets. No no none at all.
In fact you can only just see the weekend from Wednesday, it's waving and jumping up and although you can't make out the facial expression, you know that it's smiling like a drunken idiot.
