good old, reliable De La Soul.  i'm sure they'd turn up to the opening of an envelope for the lad Albarn.

and their latest album is, in my opinion, considerably better than that of Gorillaz.

I thought Humanz was certainly an improvement on Plastic Beach, but nothing else they have produced has stood up against Demon Days. 

Haven't listened to much of De La Souls own stuff. Anything I need to start with?

Anyone who doesn't love Plastic Beach can fight me tbh. I'll defend that album endlessly.

So basically you're saying if too much information about a set is released and spread around then there's a very high chance that that set won't happen.  In that case I have a very good tip about

Just for some customary balance from all the whining... All the sods that missed Blur the previous year got their chance to have a go didnt they?? Something they relish to this day. So 1000'

'3 feet high and rising' is their classic album, from the late 80s, or just go for the latest '...and the anonymous nobody' from last year.  i'm also partial to 'art official intelligence' from about 15 years ago.

I agree that Demon Days is their masterpiece, but I'm much fonder of Plastic Beach than you are

I would rank their albums as follows:

1. Demon Days

2. Plastic Beach

3. Gorillaz

4. The Fall

500. Humanz


Seriously, it's behind D-Sides, live at Manchester Opera House, G-Sides, everything.  Such a disappointment.

Q actually gave Humanz their album of the year award. Crazy in this year considering the plethora of other excellent music but at least it's an acknowledgement that it is a decent album which I wouldn't dispute. 

Listened to it again recently and I thought it was a lot better than the initial reaction suggested.

Wouldn't make my top ten for the year though.

This reminds me: Does anyone want a pair of seating tickets for Manchester? 30 quid for the pair (I paid £90).

Can't go anymore as Mrs Jass will be too pregnant. The reason for the suspiciously low price is that the tickets state "ID required", because of this I can't put them on Twickets and I haven't got any mates who are willing to take them. Chances are you'll be able to blag it on the gate (I've never actually been asked for ID going into a gig even when the tickets state so) but the low price reflects the risk.

Anyone interested drop me a message.

Bump!

Come on people!

While I don’t think it’ll be sitting atop my AOTY list, I still think it’s a fairly decent listen. Weaker than the last couple of Gorillaz albums and that last Blur, but better than Everyday Robots!!

Got a lot of love for that last De La Soul album as well, Memory Of in particular is a doozy…. drew the line at the track with Justin Hawkins mind!

Saw at the o2 last night - what a show! I was surprised by how many songs were included from plastic beach and Demon Days - a long set list. Also special guests included Shaun Ryder for Dare and Noel Gallagher for We got the power. I'm a bit pregnant so it seated for us but would love to see a slot at Glastonbury 2019 and be in the thick of it. Damo did good and the crowd seemed to be really into all the songs...even from Humanz.

      We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.

      Sziget 2026

      By CCester · Posted

      The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.

      Maybe you need a groovy mayor who can get you the money.   Anyway, looks like mayors going to get a whole load of fiscal devolution and greater powers...so best everyone gets one, a decent one, and get a load of Madchesterism.
