Bill O’Reilly, right wing commentator on the Fox Network, has a long running hatred and fear of rap music. I’m a big fan. I even put him in the book I’m writing with Gareth. Here’s a particularly graphic and ugly song by East Coast Avengers. It’s not very good, but is getting plenty of attention out in the blog-ospher.
Babyshambles a menace

Over on Gruaniad’s music blog the news that Pete Doherty has been banned from playing a festival because the local police fear his music would cause disturbances.
But Superintendent Paul Williams said the ban was designed to preserve public safety. “Experts are telling us that the profile of fans that follow Pete Doherty and Babyshambles is volatile and they can easily be whipped up into a frenzy, whereas the profile of someone that would follow around Cliff Richard or Bucks Fizz, for example, is completely different.”
Mentalism.
