Hipsters everywhere! Be sure to check the Donna McGhee "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" reissue. Balanced at the fulcrum between Boogie (Disco+Soul) and 80s Soul (New Wave+Soul) this gem of an elpee from 1978 is arranged by Patrick Adams. Almost punk garage in it's grainy low-fi splendour and sporting the lean yet lavish 8'10'' of "Make It Last Forever" whose sultry moans are infinitely more comely than Donna's. BUY BUY BUY.

Not that you're terribly interested. If SDC wants a copy he can have one in exchange for his fave Ruff Squad show. Can't squeeze much time off to surf the airwaves at the moment. Oh and BTW if you got sent one of these by me then please don't fileshare 'em or make too many CD dubs. At least not to your mate with the slsk folder. In spite of what Grasshopper at heronbone said ("Matt's just getting better at buying twelves") I do believe the recorded output of Grime is impoving. This comp is miles better than last year's one. That's good news for the scene's survival, I fear the MC on the airwaves may be a more fragile phenomenon.

The blogs are like an effing soap opera at the moment. That's alright! I like soap operas.
