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.

      Football (World Cup 26)

      The main problem with these is that noone really predicts the shocks that happen in the early knockouts or quarters, so it inevitably gets to like what I put in the semis (France v Spain and Eng vs Arg). You always end up with 4/6 of the top sides reaching the semis, and this is with me 'predicting' Swiss to beat Portugal.   I think we will see a shock result against a top 5-6 team of an African/Asian side knocking a favourite out, and I can see one of the big guns resting heavily for a 3rd group game and ending up 2nd place in their group, which would throw these whole brackets out of whack.   I think the main interesting thing from the brackets, is that if you're only caring about 'likely' group winners, you have France/Spain/Germany/Belgium/Netherlands (who I'm not convinced top group F, that group seems v exciting to me), all on one side of the bracket. Albeit the other side is England/Brazil/Arg/Portugal, but the European giants do seem weighted towards one half.   'best 3rd place' is very hard to call, I suspect there might be 1 or 2 who get 6 points (tied with 2nd) but are there on goal difference/head to head, while others could be on 3 or even 2 points. I also don't actually know if a bunch of these middle-Eastern teams who I've predicted to finish bottom are that bad. I think the ConCaCaf lot who've qualified partially by virtue of the 3 strongest teams all being hosts probably are 0-1 point teams mostly, but I wonder if there's some near-Asian teams I'm underestimating.   I'm honestly really excited though.

      €225 plus fees (as a 2026 ticketholder and with Revolut) is a crazy good deal.

      I don't think PJ has as much broad appeal in the UK as GNR has. Rock listeners will know Alive and Jeremy so on, but which songs would a random person off the street know? With GNR you have Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City to name a few.
