i kinda vaguely remember something like that, and Mos Def/J5 is/are the dude(s). it's a bit academic though, 'cos there's not a hope in hell i'll find any of their stuff without travelling to a nearby city with a good record shop.

oh, and while i'm here, i would like to reccomend the bollywood brass band. the album i just bought of theirs is stunning, and i'm going to see them live in a month or so.

I've not heard of the Bollywood Brass Band... Are they really a brass band?

Ever heard the Bollywood Breaks CD?

Are they really a brass band?

indeedy. they re-arrange and play music from bollywood films.

Bollywood breaks? yes, but i'm dunno how good it would be. (then again, the bollywood brass band rocked - and there are some class remixes by various peoples - so it might be worth looking into)

LOL. I'm sold! Where are you seeing em?

No you misunderstand (I think). Bollywood Breaks is a real CD of trippy loops and breaks and Banghra (sp?) samples etc. It's made by a bunch of people I've never heard of (apart from Jazzanova ) but it rocks my socks....

i'm seeing them at the derngate theatre in Northamton - i think thet're touring the whole country.

i did realise the bollywood breaks thingy would be bhangra/generic Indian breaks with a modern take (hence 'Breaks' ), and it sounds sock rockin' indeed.

BTW (sorry to spam) Is the Doldrums out of Phantom Tollbooth, or is it an old idea that it just uses?

and erm... seen George Michael's new video?

*Is overcome with nostalgia* I used to love that book when I was little... After a search it seems that the word 'doldrum' is all over...funny I'd never heard it outside Phantom Tollbooth Ah well...what does it mean?

to be 'in the doldrums' is to be bored. that's why the doldrums were such a boring place to drive through in the little car... erm, i'll shut up now

LOL. Suddenly this site seems to make a lot of sense...

anyway, did anyone go to Glasto this year?

Never been to a live concert, but some bands live suck.

That's a shame, they were really good live, I thought the guitar and drums might sound a bit thin, but it didn't at all. And I hadn't realised Jack White was such a good guitarist.

I don't believe you.

I thought that was the whole point...

Did you see Isaac Hayes?

I don't care.

Well the point is not to sound crap because there's not a whole band there.

Did you see Isaac Hayes?

Oh yes. He sang Chocolate Salty Balls.

But some are even better live, plus sometimes you'll see something from a group of unknowns and go, "wow these guys rock!"

A few months later, they'll be on the charts

Just about any band worth their salt should be better live, IMO.

What even Oasis

Yes, even Oasis.
