1) Why do djs over here when playing Damien Rice's song "The Blowers Daughter" introduce it as his brand new single. Heard the song about 2 1/2 years ago now.... has time stood still?
2) A girl over here called me racist because i said i hated R'n'B when talking about what music i was into. Whats wrong with hating R and B? Its not racist hating the stuff. Is it?
3) What the hell is a "Babycake"?
Even though "O" has had an irish release for circa 2 years now and Rice has been playing that song live for even longer his album has only been recently released in the UK after the US, so it acutally by the UK is indeed his latest single.Quote:

I hate it too, and i get funny looks when i say i couldn't give a flying fúck about 50 Cent et al. It's just that Pop music in London is now R'n'B. Purely a cultural thing, can't be avoided.Quote:

3) A crap, intensly annoying song :mad:
Whats the deal with those rappers making cheap videos, all up in their Arsenal jerseys!!
A lot of these yuppie DJs over here are half-wits... Its become the latest cool thing to be an amatuer DJ and do "mixin'" and use trite clichéd phrases such as "luvin' it", "bo" and "blud/bhlut" or whatever ever the **** that silly term of endearment is. Most of these people havent a clue what theyre playing, when it was released etc but just want to be part of this silly fad.Quote:

As pat pionted out real R'B is like Muddy waters, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker, tell her to go and check out one of those fellas. If she wants to argue with someone about this type of stuff send her to me, it's almost impossible around here to tune into XFM because of all the homie's blocking up the airwaves with their pirate dance and R'n'B stations.Quote:
