The Cover of The Rolling Stone

As one friend said:
'I'm sorry. I think putting him on the cover of Rolling Stone is completely fucked. Fuck you Wenner.'
While another told me:
'The arguments over this are monumental - and completely overblown imho. So he's not completely heinous as a terrorist should properly be. Is this "glamorizing? Is everyone so worried that sane people will chuck all common sense and become radicalized Muslims because a boy on the RS cover isn't gross? Apparently our sensibilities are that fine.'
Hmmm!

It has given me an earworm though

♪♫ Asian Dub Foundation - The Signal And The Noise

Produced by Adrian Sherwood

Americans Own Almost Half The Privately Owned Guns On The Planet

♪♫ Congo Natty ft YT & Nanci Correia - Jah Warriors

From his 1980s output with Double Trouble through to his genuinely essential work in the foundational days of jungle, the feller born Michael West has more than earned his place in the history books. As of this week, he's just made his Big Dada debut, dropping the Adrian Sherwood-produced Jungle Revolution LP. It's a boisterous set, stuffed with guest appearances and shot through with snatches of pirate radio chatter.

Memories (Glasgow 22/5/77)

Television supported by Blondie and the night before at the Uni was Talking Heads supporting The Ramones. My seventeen year old self and this weekend has been immortalised in the pages of MM and Uncut by my old mucker Allan Jones (very strange!)
